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).
