The potentiometric behavior of polymethacrylic acid is discussed in terms of a conformational transition. A thermodynamic treatment of this transition is presented. The titration curve of polymethacrylic acid is analyzed in a detailed way and quantitative information regarding the transition is obtained.
Analysis of the 1H‐17O dipolar contribution to the proton longitudinal relaxation rate in 17O‐enriched water yields a correlation time for re‐orientation of the O–H vector τrOH = (1.71 ± 0.07) ps in H2O at 25 °C. This result is insensitive to uncertainties in the calculated intermolecular relaxation contribution. From 1H, D, and 17O relaxation rates in H2O/D2O mixtures deuterium isotope effects on the correlation times were estimated. The quadrupole coupling constants of D and 17O in liquid water were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
