A pure sample of an oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG), tetrapentaconta(ethylene glycol) (H0-(CH2CH20)54H (OEG54)), has been prepared by stepwise synthesis coupled with preparative size exclusion chromatography (SEC) used as a separation method. The purity of the OEG54 sample has been checked by analytical SEC and differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, the molecular weights (MW) of the OEG54 sample and a pure sample of octadeca(ethylene glycol) (OEG18) previously prepared have been determined by mass spectroscopy, light scattering (LS), vapor pressure osmometry, 13C NMR, and NMR. The observed MW values of the OEG samples are in good agreement with those expected from their chemical formulas. In particular, fairly good agreements observed in LS and NMR measurements show that these pure OEG samples can be used as ideal MW standard samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
