Summary
The 9.12 MHz 15N NMR spectrum of an industrially produced polyethylene imine displays six signals indicating a high degree of branching. Various mono- and oligo-amines as well as their hydrochlorides were measured in water, and structure/shift relationships are discussed. The relatively low sensitivity of the nuclear Overhauser effect of oligo- and polyethylene imine to paramagnetic cations is demonstrated and explained by strong complexation of the cations.
