Abstract
A new quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) method, called qNMRw, using water as the internal calibrant has been developed. Its principles, procedures, calculations, and test results are presented here. It is shown to avoid the difficulties created by moisture present in other reference materials. High precision and accuracy can be achieved with qNMRw. The method can be used for analyzing technical materials, herbicide formulation products, and other types of chemical samples. It can also be used to measure the purity and concentration of materials to be used as quantitation calibrants.

Abstract
Vinyl acetate is a restricted substance in food products. The quantification of the organic impurities in vinyl acetate is a major problem due to its activity, instability, and volatility. In this paper, while using the mass balance method to determine the purity of vinyl acetate, an improved method was established for the determination of the content of three impurities in vinyl acetate reference material, and the GC-FID peak area normalization for vinyl acetate was calibrated. The three trace organic impurities were identified by gas chromatography tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry to be methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and vinyl propionate. The content and relative correction factors for the three organic impurities were measured. The purity of vinyl acetate determined by the mass balance method was 99.90% with an expanded uncertainty of 0.30%, and the total content of organic impurities was 0.08% with a relative correction factor of 1.23%. The vinyl acetate reference material has been approved as a national certified reference material in China as GBW (E) 062710.

Abstract
In this study, the coulometric method with titratable impurity analysis and the mass balance method were successfully applied in the quantification of the certified reference material of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) with accurate metrological traceability of chemical purity value (99.983% with an expanded uncertainty of 0.024%, k = 2). In contrast to the general coulometric titration method, the coulometric method with titratable impurity analysis enables the conversion of acidimetric purity to chemical purity: The acidimetric purity was determined by coulometric titration method, and then the impurities that may be titrated as principal components were found as far as possible using various methods and the result of deducting these impurities from the acidimetric purity can be considered as chemical purity. The mass balance method also accounted for all possible types of impurities as much as possible to improve the accuracy of the determined result. The accuracy and reliability of the purity results were subsequently verified by a two-step quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) method. This KHP certified reference material was the first hydrophilic internal standard of qNMR (applied in polar solvents) with an expanded uncertainty lower than 0.03%, which will become a major reference standard in the organic chemistry traceable calibration chain, especially when evaluating hydrophilic organic compounds to obtain purity values with very low uncertainty.

Abstract
Abstract
The “purity” of an organic compound typically refers, in practice, to an assignment of the mass fraction content of the primary organic component present in the material. The “purity” value of an organic primary calibrator material is the ultimate source of metrological traceability of any quantitative measurement of the content of that compound in a given matrix. The primary calibrator may consist of a Certified Reference Material (CRM) whose purity has been assigned by the CRM producer or a laboratory may choose to value-assign a material to the extent necessary for their intended application by using appropriately valid methods. This report provides an overview of the approach, performance and applicability of the principal methods used to determine organic purity including mass balance, quantitative NMR, thermal methods and direct-assay techniques. A statistical section reviews best practice for combination of data, value assignment as the upper limit values corresponding to 100 % purity are approached and how to report and propagate the standard uncertainty associated with the assigned values.

Abstract
A 'principles and practice' tutorial-style review of the application of solution-phase NMR in the analysis of the mechanisms of homogeneous organic and organometallic reactions and processes. This review of 345 references summarises why solution-phase NMR spectroscopy is uniquely effective in such studies, allowing non-destructive, quantitative analysis of a wide range of nuclei common to organic and organometallic reactions, providing exquisite structural detail, and using instrumentation that is routinely available in most chemistry research facilities. The review is in two parts. The first comprises an introduction to general techniques and equipment, and guidelines for their selection and application. Topics include practical aspects of the reaction itself, reaction monitoring techniques, NMR data acquisition and processing, analysis of temporal concentration data, NMR titrations, DOSY, and the use of isotopes. The second part comprises a series of 15 Case Studies, each selected to illustrate specific techniques and approaches discussed in the first part, including in situ NMR (1/2H, 10/11B, 13C, 15N, 19F, 29Si, 31P), kinetic and equilibrium isotope effects, isotope entrainment, isotope shifts, isotopes at natural abundance, scalar coupling, kinetic analysis (VTNA, RPKA, simulation, steady-state), stopped-flow NMR, flow NMR, rapid injection NMR, pure shift NMR, dynamic nuclear polarisation, 1H/19F DOSY NMR, and in situ illumination NMR.

Abstract
In this study, a quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) method was developed to assign the SI-traceable purity of ethylbenzene, a volatile material, which is a colorless flammable liquid hydrocarbon at room temperature. An ethanol certified reference material having a similar boiling point was used as an internal standard to avoid measurement error arising from the volatilization of ethylbenzene. The reference value of the ethylbenzene study material was obtained by the mass balance method by subtracting all the impurities including water, inorganic impurities, and structurally related impurities (e.g. acetophenone, benzene, isobutylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, methylcyclohexane), which is regarded as the traditional approach for purity assignment for organic compounds. The results of qNMR showed that the purity of the ethylbenzene study material was 998.6 ± 3.8 mg/g at a 95% confidence interval, which was consistent with the reference value of 998.9 ± 1.3 mg/g.

Abstract
Atmospheric moisture can contaminate calibrants for quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy and cause systematic errors in qNMR measurements. Therefore, coulometric Karl Fischer (CKF) titration was used to evaluate the hygroscopic tendencies of several organic compounds that are commonly used as calibrants for qNMR spectroscopy: benzoic acid, dimethyl sulfone, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, acetanilide, dimethyl terephthalate, and 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene. Samples were placed in a sealed humidity chamber at 100% relative humidity (RH) and a temperature of 295.4 ± 0.9 K. Over the course of months, portions of each sample were analyzed by CKF titration. All the compounds except dimethyl sulfone were resistant to changes in water content and thus are good choices for qNMR experiments. In contrast, dimethyl sulfone absorbed about 25 mass % of water over 5 weeks at 100% RH; such behavior could compromise qNMR experiments under certain conditions.

Abstract
Comparability of measurement results and their metrological traceability to the International System of Units (SI) are fundamental tools to ensure reliable decisions in the social sphere, commerce, and science. The use of appropriate references in analytical chemistry, such as certified reference materials (CRMs) of high purity substances, is one of the required procedures to obtain traceable measurements. When commercial standards with non-certified purity values are used, traceability must be achieved by determining the purity of the standard using a potential primary reference measurement procedure or other appropriate methods. Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) is a technique with the potential to be used in primary measurement procedures. This work presents the determination of purity by 1H qNMR for nitrofuran metabolites 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ), and 1-aminohydantoin (AHD). Furthermore, a recent qNMR method developed by our group to improve the quantitative performance of measurements using 13C nucleus was used to determine the purity of semicarbazide (SEM) nitrofuran metabolite. Purity values obtained by qNMR for AOZ, AMOZ, and AHD standards were compared to values obtained by the mass balance approach using a suite of analytical methods: Karl Fischer (KF) coulometric titration and thermogravimetry (TG) for the determination of water and residual solvents, gas and liquid chromatography for the determination of impurities structurally related to the metabolites. The results obtained by qNMR and mass balance were consistent.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy has recently been utilized to determine the absolute amounts of organic molecules with metrological traceability since signal intensity is directly proportional to the number of each nucleus in a molecule. The NMR methodology that uses hydrogen nucleus (1H) to quantify chemicals is called quantitative 1H-NMR (1H qNMR). The quantitative method using 1H qNMR for determining the purity or content of chemicals has been adopted into some compendial guidelines and official standards. However, there are still few reports in the literature regarding validation of 1H qNMR methodology. Here, we coordinated an international collaborative study to validate a 1H qNMR based on the use of an internal calibration methodology. Thirteen laboratories participated in this study, and the purities of three samples were individually measured using 1H qNMR method. The three samples were all certified via conventional primary methods of measurement, such as butyl p-hydroxybenzoate Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP) reference standard certified by mass balance; benzoic acid certified reference material (CRM) certified by coulometric titration; fludioxonil CRM certified by a combination of freezing point depression method and 1H qNMR. For each sample, 1H qNMR experiments were optimized before quantitative analysis. The results showed that the measured values of each sample were equivalent to the corresponding reference labeled value. Furthermore, assessment of these 1H qNMR data using the normalized error, En-value, concluded that statistically 1H qNMR has the competence to obtain the same quantification performance and accuracy as the conventional primary methods of measurement.

Abstract
Metrological traceability for organic chemical measurements is a documented unbroken chain of calibrations with stated uncertainties that ideally link the measurement result for a sample to a primary calibrator in appropriate SI units (e.g., mass fraction). A comprehensive chemical purity determination of the organic calibrator is required to ensure a true assessment of this result. We explore the evolution of chemical purity capabilities across metrology institute members of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance: Metrology in Chemistry and Biology's Organic Analysis Working Group (OAWG). The OAWG work program has promoted the development of robust measurement capabilities, using indirect "mass balance" determinations via rigorous assessment of impurities and direct determination using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy methods. A combination of mass balance and qNMR has been shown to provide a best practice approach. Awareness of the importance of the traceability of organic calibrators continues to grow across stakeholder groups, particularly in key areas such as clinical chemistry where activities related to the Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine have raised the profile of traceable calibrators.

Abstract
Metrological traceability to common references supports the comparability of chemical measurement results produced by different analysts, at various times, and at separate places. Ideally, these references are realizations of base units of the International System of Units (SI). ISO/IEC 17025 (Clause 6.5) states that traceability of measurement results is a necessary attribute of analytical laboratory competence, and as such, has become compulsory in many industries, especially clinical diagnostics and healthcare. Historically, claims of traceability for organic chemical measurements have relied on calibration chains anchored on unique reference materials with linkage to the SI that is tenuous at best. A first-of-its-kind National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reference material, ultrapure and extensively characterized PS1 Benzoic Acid Primary Standard for quantitative NMR (qNMR), serves as a definitive, primary reference (calibrant) that assuredly links the qNMR spectroscopy technique to SI units. As qNMR itself is a favorable method for accurate, direct characterization of chemical reference materials, PS1 is a standard for developing other traceable standards and is intended to establish traceability for the measurement of thousands of organic chemical species. NIST PS1 will play a critical role in directly promoting accuracy and worldwide comparability of measurement results produced by the chemical measurement community, supporting the soundness of clinical diagnostics, food safety and labeling, forensic investigation, drug development, biomedical research, and chemical manufacturing. Confidence in this link to the SI was established through (i) unambiguous identification of chemical structure; (ii) determinations of isotopic composition and molecular weight; (iii) evaluation of the respective molecular amount by multiple primary measurement procedures, including qNMR and coulometry; and (iv) rigorous evaluation of measurement uncertainty using state-of-the-art statistical methods and measurement models.

Abstract
A method based on isotope dilution-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS/MS) using a C30 column has been developed for the separate and accurate determination of trans- and cis-vitamin K1 in infant formula. Vitamin K1 and the deuterium-labeled internal standard eluted at slightly different retention times experiencing different matrix effects, and this possibly resulted in biased measurement. The matrix effect profiles obtained from post-column infusion experiments showed that atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) was less susceptible to matrix effects near the retention time than electrospray ionization (ESI); therefore, APCI was used in this study. The developed method was validated by measuring fortified samples, and the results agreed with the gravimetric values. Its repeatability and reproducibly were within 2% relative standard deviation. The relative expanded uncertainty was approximately 5%, indicating that the method was of higher-order metrological quality as a reference method.

Abstract
The purity determination of organic calibration standards using the traditional mass balance approach is described. Demonstrated examples highlight the potential for bias in each measurement and the need to implement an approach that provides a cross-check for each result, affording fit for purpose purity values in a timely and cost-effective manner. Chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) and high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV), combined with mass and NMR spectroscopy, provide a detailed impurity profile allowing an efficient conversion of chromatographic peak areas into relative mass fractions, generally avoiding the need to calibrate each impurity present. For samples analysed by GC-FID, a conservative measurement uncertainty budget is described, including a component to cover potential variations in the response of each unidentified impurity. An alternative approach is also detailed in which extensive purification eliminates the detector response factor issue, facilitating the certification of a super-pure calibration standard which can be used to quantify the main component in less-pure candidate materials. This latter approach is particularly useful when applying HPLC analysis with UV detection. Key to the success of this approach is the application of both qualitative and quantitative (1)H NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
![]()
In any biomedical and chemical context,
a truthful description of chemical constitution requires coverage
of both structure and purity. This qualification affects all drug
molecules, regardless of development stage (early discovery to approved
drug) and source (natural product or synthetic). Purity assessment
is particularly critical in discovery programs and whenever
chemistry is linked with biological and/or therapeutic outcome. Compared
with chromatography and elemental analysis, quantitative NMR (qNMR)
uses nearly universal detection and provides a versatile and orthogonal
means of purity evaluation. Absolute qNMR with flexible calibration
captures analytes that frequently escape detection (water, sorbents).
Widely accepted structural NMR workflows require minimal or no adjustments
to become practical 1H qNMR (qHNMR) procedures with simultaneous
qualitative and (absolute) quantitative capability. This study reviews
underlying concepts, provides a framework for standard qHNMR purity
assays, and shows how adequate accuracy and precision are achieved
for the intended use of the material.
