title: Application of high-field proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR) spectroscopy for the analysis of explosives and related compounds in groundwater samples - a comparison with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
abstract: High-field proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR) spectroscopy was applied to the analysis of nitroaromatics and nitramines in ammunition waste water. The (1)H-chemical shifts data of a variety of reference compounds are presented. Three groundwater samples, taken near the former ammunition plant Elsnig (Saxony), were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results of HPLC and NMR analyses are compared and discussed.
