✦ Synopsis
High-volatile bituminous and lignite coals have been studied by means of carbon-13 n.m.r. employing cross-polarization and magic-angle-spinning techniques. The solids spectra have been compared to those of the coalderived liquids. By artificially broadening the high-resolution spectra of the liquids, a striking similarity in line shape and position is observed when the liquid spectra are compared with those of the corresponding solid coal. It is noted however that certain bands visible in the solid are no longer present in the liquefied state. The significance of these results is discussed in terms of carbon skeletal structures present in the solids but not in the liquids.
