We report theoretical infrared and electronic absorption spectra of gauche and anti conformers of n-butyronitrile, their ions and 2-methylpropanenitrile isomer of n-butyronitrile. The coupled cluster theory (CCSD) and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory with TZVP basis set are used

An HPLC method for the separation and analysis of arachidonic acid and eight phospholipid classes is described: phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and 2-lysophosphatidylcholine. The separation is carried out at 60 degrees C on 2 cyanopropyl columns using
