1H,13C HMBC of a Precursor for Photochromic Molecules

1H,13C HMBC of a Precursor for Photochromic Molecules Photochromic molecules are compounds whose properties such as colour change on exposure to light. They find a wide range of applications, from dyes, sensors and optic lens coatings to medical applications including photodynamic therapies. Here we demonstrate the power of using a Spinsolve 80 MHz benchtop NMR …

Determining the Salt Stoichiometry of Pharmaceutical Compounds

Determining the Salt Stoichiometry of Pharmaceutical Compounds Why Salts Matter Many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are produced as salts rather than free bases or acids to provide more desirable physico-chemical properties. The choice of counterion allows tailoring of solubility and dissolution profiles as well as product stability, depending on the required bioavailability. Therefore, screening a …
