Searching and mining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)spectra of naturally occurring products is an important task to investigate new potentially useful chemical compounds. We develop a set-based similarity function, which, however, does not sufficiently capture more abstract aspects of similarity. NMR-spectra are like documents, but consists of continuous multi-dimensional points instead of wor...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review describes some of the advances made over the past year in NMR-based metabolomics for the elucidation of known and unknown compounds, including new ways of how to combine this information with high-resolution mass spectrometry. RECENT FINDINGS A new method allows the back-calculation of mass spectra from NMR spectra that have been queried against databases improvi...

Benzene and methanol make a minimum boiling point homogeneous binary azeotrope with the mole ratio 2:3. Some characteristic vibrational modes, as well as (1)H NMR signals change due to the azeotrope formation. The extend of interaction of these molecules causes significant changes on some vibrational modes involved, and (1)H NMR signals show some changes on their position. No IR, Raman, and NMR...

The NMR spectra of n-pentane as solute in the liquid crystal 5CB are measured at several temperatures in the nematic phase. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of this system are carried out to predict the dipolar couplings of the orientationally ordered pentane, and the spectra predicted from these simulations are compared with the NMR experimental ones. The simulation predictions provide...

Searching and mining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)spectra of naturally occurring substances is an important task to investigate new potentially useful chemical compounds. Multi-dimensional NMR-spectra are relational objects like documents, but consists of continuous multi-dimensional points called peaks instead of words. We develop several mappings from continuous NMR-spectra to discrete tex...

calix(6)arene hydroxamic acids (iii) are synthesised for the first time by reactingcalix(6)arene acid chloride(ii) with substituted hydroxylamines at low temperature in the presence ofsodium bicarbonate. the p-carboxycalix(6)arene(i) is obtained by an acid catalysed condensationreaction of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and formaldehyde. these calixarenes are characterised by meltingpoint, uv, ir, 1h nm...

A methodology based on spectral similarity is presented that allows to compare NMR predictors without the recourse to assigned experimental spectra, thereby making the task of benchmarking NMR predictors less tedious, faster, and less prone to human error. This approach was used to compare four popular NMR predictors using a dataset of 1000 molecules and their corresponding experimental spectra...

We report solid-state 39K NMR detection of the K+ ions bound to three G-quadruplex structures formed by self-assembly of 5'-tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl-2',3'-O-isopropylidene guanosine, guanosine, and guanosine 5'-monophosphate. The 39K NMR spectra clearly show different spectral signatures for K+ ions inside the G-quadruplex channel and for K+ ions bound to the phosphate groups. Solid-state 39K N...

α-acyloxycarboxamides are synthesized from three component Passerini reaction between indane-1,2,3-trione, isocyanides, and thiophenecarboxylic acids in quantitative yields. The structures of the final products were confirmed by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The B3LYP/HF calculations for computation of 1H an...

This perspective paper is intended to give some insights into the recently proposed technique of NMR of solutes sedimented by ultracentrifugation in a rotor used for solid state NMR experiments. Sedimented "states" correspond to molecules with very little reorientational capability in extremely concentrated solutions. They provide solid state NMR spectra comparable in quality with those of the ...
