THE NEW FUELS WITH MAGNECULAR STRUCTURE 45
3. THE UNAMBIGUOUS DETECTION OF
MOLECULES AND MAGNECULES
3.1 Selection of Analytic Instruments
Current technologies offer an impressive variety of analytic instruments (see,
e.g., Ref. [4]), which include: Gas Chromatography (GC), Liquid Chromatography
(LC), Capillary Electrophoresis Chromatography (CEC), Supercritical Chromatography
(SCC), Ion Chromatography (IC), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), Raman
Spectroscopy (RS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMRS),
X-Ray Spectroscopy (XRS), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Mass Spectrometry
(MS), Laser Mass Spectrometry (LMS), Flame Ionization Spectrometry
(FIS), and others.
Only some of these instruments are suitable for the detection of magnecules
and, when applicable, their set-up and use are considerably different than those
routinely used with great success for molecules.
Among all available chromatographic equipment, that suitable for the detection
of gas magnecules is the GC with column having ID of at least 0.32 mm
operated according to certain criteria outlined below. By comparison, other chromatographs
do not appear to permit the entrance of large magnecules, such as
the CEC, or be potentially destructive of the magnecules to be detected, such as
the IC.
Among all available spectroscopic equipment, that preferable is the IR, with
the understanding that such an instrument is used in a negative way, that is, to
verify that the magnecule considered has no IR signature. The RS may also result
in being preferable in various cases, while other instruments, such as the NMRS
do not appear to be capable of detecting magnecules despite their magnetic nature,
evidently because NMRS are most effective for the detection of microscopic
