Description

The macromolecular structure of coal networks was analyzed by depolymerizing coal samples using the Sternberg reductive alkylation and the Miyake alkylation techniques. Electron impact mass spectra showed peaks of greater abundance of 125-132, 252-260, 383-391, and 511-520 m/z ratios. Based on analysis of the patterns of the spectra, the cluster size of the cross-linked structure of bituminous coals was determined as 126-130. Various chemical species were identified
