General description

A wide range of MagniSolv deuterated solvents with extremely low residual water, excellent chemical purity, and the highest isotopic enrichment available can satisfy the most demanding requirements of researchers. Depending on application and sensitivity of the NMR spectrometer our offer solvents with deuteration degrees between 98% and 99.96%. In case of all the water soluble deuterated standard products, water content is specified according to both Karl Fischer and NMR.

Application


  • Experimental and Theoretical Study of CO2 Insertion into Ruthenium Hydride Complexes.: This research provides insights into the mechanistic pathways for CO2 reactivity with ruthenium hydride complexes, potentially relevant for catalytic applications including transformations involving Tetrahydrofuran-d₈ (Ramakrishnan et al., 2016).


  • Syntheses, structures, and NMR chemical shifts of a family of trimethyltin alkoxide, amide, halide and cyclopentadienyl compounds.: Details the synthesis and structural characterization of trimethyltin compounds, useful for understanding the coordination chemistry that may involve Tetrahydrofuran-d₈ as a solvent or structural analogue (Lichtscheidl et al., 2015).


  • NMR studies of coupled low- and high-barrier hydrogen bonds in pyridoxal-5′-phosphate model systems in polar solution.: Discusses the application of NMR spectroscopy in studying hydrogen bonding interactions, where Tetrahydrofuran-d₈ could be utilized as a deuterated solvent for enhanced spectral clarity (Sharif et al., 2007).


  • Stable hydrocarbon diradical, an analogue of trimethylenemethane.: Investigates stable hydrocarbon diradicals, where Tetrahydrofuran-d₈ may be used as part of the experimental setup to stabilize reactive intermediates or as a solvent to study radical stability (Rajca et al., 2005).
