Subject: F7uorochemical Isomer Disoibutionby 19F-AMR Spectroscopy
Date:
December 1, 1997
SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS: * FC-95, lot# 217 (T-6295);Nominal product= CgF17-SO3(-)
K(+)
INTRODUCTION:
This samplewas subjectedto a '9F-NNM spectraalnalysimsethod to detern-dnteheidentitieasnd relative concentrationosf thefluorochemicailsomersand as many otheridentifiabilmepuritycomponents as possible.
EXPERIMENTAL:
A portionof thesamplesolidwas totafldyissolvedinDMSO-d6and thena 376 NiRz 'T-NNM spectrum (F53030.401)was acquiredusinga VarianUNITYplus 40OFT-NMR spectrometer.AidaRobbins preparedthesampleforanalysisand shealsoacquiredand plottedtheNMR spectrum.
RIESLIILTS:
The '9F-NMR spectrumwas used to determinetheidentitiaensd relativceoncentrationosf thenominal fluorochen@cailsomersand threeotherimpuritycomponents inthissample.The qualitativaend quantitativceompositionarlesultwshich were derivedfrom thesingletria'l9F-NMR spectraalnalysiasre summarized inTABLE-1 on thefollowingpage.
