Combined, these two factors leave no doubt about the regioselectivity of the alkylation. Did the J values lead you to the right answer, or did you rely on the CH2 shift? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇

Abstract: There is a need for in-field actinide measurements in support of nuclear forensic, safeguards, and environmental monitoring missions. Traditional methods of inorganic/elemental analysis, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), have high operational overheads, making these platforms ill-suited for this task. The liquid sampling–atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) ionization source is a proven microplasma ionization source with significantly reduced operational overhead as compared to ICP-MS; however, most studies to date have focused on coupling the LS-APGD to an ultrahigh resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer. While the Orbitrap mass spectrometer is a benchtop instrument, it is quite complex with a large footprint and requires extremely low mass analyzer pressures. The Advion ExpressionL compact mass spectrometer (CMS) is a compact, easily transported single quadrupole mass spectrometer platform that was previously coupled with the LS-APGD to measure multielement/metal solutions, albeit not actinides. To this end, this manuscript reports the optimization of the LS-APGD with the Advion ExpressionL CMS mass spectrometer platform specifically for in-field actinide (uranium and thorium) measurements. This is the first report on the optimization of the dual-electrode LS-APGD on the CMS, including a modified ion sampling geometry. This also includes the first analysis of thorium using the LS-APGD, regardless of mass spectrometer coupling. After establishing that the LS-APGD and the mass spectrometer operations could be optimized independently, the LS-APGD discharge conditions were optimized with a design of experiments approach, with the mass spectrometer parameters optimized by a full factorial study. Once fully optimized, limits of detection of 0.2 ng total analyte mass were found for both uranium and thorium, below the EPA requirements for drinking water.

Abstract: Chromium-doped zinc selenide (Cr:ZnSe) crystals are the gain media of choice for mid-infrared lasers operating over a 1.9–3.4 µm spectral range. In this study, we used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) of Cr:ZnSe polycrystalline materials to improve the sensitivity of detecting chromium concentration in the laser-active materials. The fundamental harmonic of a Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser was used as an excitation source. After calibration of the LIBS signal, we calculated that chromium's limit of detection (LOD) was 30 parts per million (ppm). Normalization of the Cr(I) intensity peak at 357.9 nm by the square root of the Zn(I) peak at 636.2 nm reduced the LOD to 20 ppm and increased the coefficient of determination to R² ≈ 0.98. These results demonstrate the potential of LIBS for microscale mapping of dopant distributions in laser crystals and for on-site monitoring of material quality during fabrication.
