$^1H$ NMR spectra for monocyanide ligated ferriprotoporphyrin(hemin) complex and dicyanide coordinated hemin complex in dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO-$d_6$) solution have been recorded and analyzed. NMR spectra of hemin-cyanide complexation in DMSO-$d_6$ exhibit that the cyanide ligation to hemin is temperature-dependent. Thermodynamic parameters for the monocyanide ligated hemin to dicyanide ligated hemin are consistent with endothermic process with ${\Delta}H^{\circ}=736.6cal/mol$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}=16.4eu$. Detailed analysis of the anomalous deviation from Curie behavior for CN/DMSO coordinated hemin complex demonstrates the presence of a high spin character, and this weaker axial field relative to the purely low-spin dicyanide hemin complex is supposed to attribute to instantaneously ruptured iron-DMSO bond. This complex may serve as a useful model to characterize electronic/molecular structure of hemoproteins, which one of axial ligands is weak.

Two new types of NMR shift reagents, one giving dipolar-only and the other giving contact-only shifts, can be prepared simply by mixing two appropriate $Ln(fod)_3$(Ln = Pr, Nd, Eu, and Yb) reagents in certain ratios. The $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra of pyridine-type substrates, quinoline and isoquinoline, whose paramagnetic shifts are normally a composite of contact and dipolar contributions with single lanthanide shift reagents, show the feasibility of this approach.

Chitosans were prepared from red crab chitin under various alkali treatment conditions(different alkali concentrations, reaction times and temperatures) and theirphysicochemical properties were investigated. The nitrogen content and deacetylation degree of red crab chitin were 6.15% and 22.17A%, respectively. By the IR spectra, red crab and reference chitin showed the sharp bands at 1650 $cm^{-1}$ / and 1550 $cm^{-1}$ /, which are characteristic of chitin. The nitrogen contents of prepared chitosans ranged from 6.19~7.48%. Thedeacetylation degree was increased from 63~76% and 48~78% with increasing reaction time and temperature, whereas viscosity was decreased. The nitrogen content and yield of red crab chitosan perpared from chitin with 50% NaOH, 1:25(w/v) for 3.0 hr at 120$cm^{-1}$ / were 7.26% and 85.0%, respectively. and viscosity, deacetylation degree and molecular weight, 67.0 mPa.s, 75.0% and 6.5$\times$10$^{5}$ Dalton, respectively. From the IR spectra, the amide absorption bands of red crab and reference chitosan became very weak, similarly. And at solid state $^{13}$ C-NMR spectra, C=O(carbonyl carbon) signals absent, whereas $CH_3$(methyl carbon) was residues. Chemical shift of $^{13}$ C-NMR spectra of red crab and reference chitosans were in good agreement with slight experimental deviation.

5-Nonylsalicylaldoxime and salicylaldehyde are two derivatives of phenolic compounds which are very applicable materials in industries. Formerly the formylation of phenolic derivatives were carried out by Rimer-Tiemann method. In this work both of these two materials were synthesized by magnesium meditated formylation technique and their structural characterizations were compared by instrumental analysis technique. In order to achieve a selectively orthoformylated product, the hydroxyl group of nonylphenol (or phenol) was first modified by magnesium methoxide. The nonylphenol magnesium salt was then formylated by paraformaldehyde. The oximation reaction was finally applied to the prepared nonylsalicylaldehyde magnesium salt by liquid extracting via water and acid washing and other extractions. The solvent was finally removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. Some instrumental analysis such as $^1H$-NMR, GC/MS and FT-IR spectra were taken on the product in order to interpret the reaction characterization quantitatively and qualitatively. The formaldehyde and oxime functional groups of two compounds were investigated through $^1H$-NMR and FT-IR spectra and were compared. The yield of methoxilation was very good and the yields of formylation and oximation reactions were about 90%and 85% respectively. The orthoselectivity of formylation reaction were evaluated by comparing of the relevant spectra. The GC/MS spectra also confirmed the obtained results.

melatonin (MLT), N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is mainly secreted by the pineal gland. The ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and 1H-NMR spectra of irradiated and non-irradiated MLT were measured, and phototoxicity tests of MLT, anthracence (positive control) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, negative control) were performed. The methods employed include both in vitro test such as MTS assay using the human fibroblast cell and yeast growth inhibition assay using Candida albicans and in vivo method using the skin of guinea pig. UV absorption spectra and 1H-NMR spectra of MLT were changed by UVA (365 nm, 15 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$), but IR spectra of MLT were not changed. The fifty percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) ratio (UV-/UV+) of MLT was 10. The inhibition zone of irradiated-paper disks treated with MLT was not observed. According to the results of histophathological examination, no pathologic lesion was observed in the non-irradiated group, but slight degeneration of keratinocytes in the epidermis, homorrhage and vasodilation in dermis were observed in the irradiated group. These results indicated that the molecular structure of MLT is altered by UVA to unidentified photoproducts and a moderate phototoxicity of MLT is predicted.

Natural, synthetic, and treated diamonds were studied by NMR and EPR. It was demonstrated that natural and synthetic diamonds, treated and non-treated diamonds, high pressure high temperature (HPHT) treated and electron beam treated diamonds could be distinguished among each other based on the $^{13}C$ NMR spectra acquired for relatively short periods of 100 minutes. The $^{13}C$ NMR linewidths of gem quality synthetic diamonds were broader than 1.6 ppm due to the paramagentic effects of transition metals, generally used as catalysts, while the linewidths of gem quality natural diamonds were narrower than 0.5 ppm regardless of the methods of treatment. The linewidth (0.5 ppm) for a HPHT treated, gem quality natural diamond was as broad as more than twice of the linewidth (0.2 ppm) of an electron beam treated diamond. The $^{13}C$ NMR signal intensities of treated, gem quality natural diamonds were as strong as more than 10 times of the intensities of non-treated, gem quality natural diamonds. When correlated with the concentrations of the paramagnetic defects (electrons) obtained from the EPR spectra, the relative $^{13}C$ NMR signal intensities increased in proportion to the concentrations of the paramagnetic electrons contained in each sample but the electron beam treated diamond was an exception. This suggested that the lattice component, in addition to the paramagnetic defect component, should also be considered in determining the $^{13}C$ NMR signal intensity of the electron beam treated diamond.

To investigate the relationship between metabolic changes in $^1H$-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and fish vaccination, serum was collected from olive flounders treated with a formalin-killed Edwardsiella tarda vaccine and used for $^1H$-NMR metabolite profiling. Principal component analysis and partial least squares were applied to the $^1H$-NMR profile to reduce its complexity and establish class-related clusters. Relative lipid regions were distinguished in vaccinated and non-vaccinated serum. Then, the lipids were extracted from the serum and analyzed. Triolein was identified.

The microscopic dynamics of $CsH_2PO_4$, with two distinct hydrogen bond lengths, are studied by static nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR. The proton dynamics of the two crystallographically inequivalent hydrogen sites were discussed in terms of the $^1H$ NMR and $^1H$ MAS NMR spectra. Although the hydrogen bonds have two inequivalent sites, H(1) and H(2), distinct proton dynamics for the two sites were not found. Further, the $^{133}Cs$ spectrum is more or less continuous near $T_{C1}$ (=153 K). Finally, the phase transition mechanism of $T_{C1}$ in $CsH_2PO_4$ is related to the ordering of protons.

Biosupramolecular systems such as biological membranes usually fluid under physiological conditions$^1$. Therefore, solid-state NMR has been used to investigate biosupramolecular systems. But solid-state NMR spectra contain a large number of overlapping resonances and are rather difficult to analyze. These problem has to be overcome by selective isotope labeling. We constructed a deuterium NMR probe for AM400 NMR spectrometer, which is mainly used for liquid samples. To overcome the fluidity problem, a saddle type coil was designed. The efficiency was systematically investigated for two kinds of coil geometry, solenoid and saddle types. Our results suggest that solenoids are superior to saddle type coils in the sensitivity. However, the letter fits better to fluid samples such as biosupramolecular systems.
