β¦ Synopsis
The aromaticities of samples from nine Australian coal seams, including pairs of hand-picked vitrains and durains, have been determined by 13C cross-polarization n.m.r. spectroscopy with magic angle sample spinning. The results clearly show that the aromaticity (f,) of the coals increases with increase in vitrinite reflectance and carbon content and decrease in atomic H/C ratio. For a given coal seam, durain (inertinite-rich coal) has a higher f, value than vitrain (vitrinite-rich coal). The trends for carbon content and atomic H/C are in good agreement with results from North American coals, although the aromaticities of Australian coals obtained in this study appear to be slightly lower than some of those reported for North American coals of similar carbon content.

Several metal-sugar conjugates have been prepared. Chelate coordination complexes of copper(I1) and zinc(H) were prepared from salicylaldimine ligands derived from combinations of methyl 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-@glucopyranoside or 1,3,4,~tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-&D-gluoopyranose and
Experiments with both model compounds (substituted phenols) and with 11 coals (nine British and two American) have established that microwave heating will greatly accelerate silylation reactions of the phenolic -OH groups, e.g. for Creswell coal complete silylation of -OH groups occurs in 35 min in
