Use of rapid scan correlation nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a quantitative analytical method
Abstract
Rapid scan correlation (RSC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy combines the advantages of rapidity of Fourier transform methods with advantages in dynamic range of continuous wave methods. A systematic investigation of the technique for quantitative analysis has been carried out. It is concluded, provided suitable precautions are taken, that RSCNMR can be useful as a quantitative method. Application is illustrated by the determination of ethanol in aqueous media and wines over the range 0.01–15% v/v.
