Characterization of New Compounds

All compounds should be named according to IUPAC nomenclature.

Different guidelines for characterization will apply depending on which of the following categories a compound falls into:

1. New compounds not previously reported in the literature that will be reported in a publication require:

a. IR Spectrum

b. ¹H-NMR (no solvents, no impurities)

c. ¹³C-NMR (with good signal-to-noise)

d. Mass Spectra

e. Elemental Analysis

f. Heteroatom NMR as appropriate

2. New compounds which are not expected to be reported in a publication require:

a. ¹H-NMR (no solvents, no impurities)

b. ¹³C-NMR (with good signal-to-noise)

c. Mass Spectra

3. Compounds previously reported in the literature require:

a. Sufficient data for the definitive correlation to the previously reported data.

b. A sample write up of characterization data can be found in the experimental sections of the papers in Publications
