The IR spectrum of 4-O-methyl-2,3,6-tri-O-nitromethyl-β-D-glucopyranoside has been interpreted in detail for the first time based on complete calculation of the normal vibration frequencies and absolute intensities of its IR absorption bands and a comparison of them with the corresponding experimental data. The results indicate that the location of the nitrates in cellulose nitrates can be determined experimentally from separate components of complicated absorption bands in the ranges 1700-1600 and 900-800 cm -1 of the IR spectrum.
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.
