French term

massif centré

French to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng non-stick coating for a p
Hello,

"présence d'un massif centré à 4,5 ppm, attribué à CHI et des quadruplet et triplet vers 3,8 ppm et 1,2 ppm (respectivement attribués à OCH 2 et CH 3 ) ;"

this comes under heading "Fonctionnalisation de l'oligomère du VDF "

Thank you

broad peak cetered at

This is the description of an NMR spectrum.

"broad band centered at" would also work.

agree Karen Tkaczyk : I prefer band but both are used.

French term (edited): massif centré à

(broad) multiple peak with center at

It's IR spectroscopy, they are talking about the signal that is produced by the CHI substituent group. Instead of a single peak, you have several peaks for this group, that´s why they are calling it "a massif" in french. The apparent center of the peak group is located at 4,5 ppm.
I think you can also use "peak group", as term, but I think "multiple peak" is better.

Sorry, Marco is right, it´s NMR spectroscopy and not IR as I said. Nevertheless, in the text they are describing multiple signals (massif, quadruplet, triplet) and I believe CHI is cyclohexyl isocyanate, which is a ring and therefore, it gives a multiple pattern, not one broad band only (refered as "broad singlet" in NMR).

Actually, a better term is "multiplet" as in

http://www.chem.ucla.edu/harding/30C/30C_w03/NMRsupp.pdf
examples
"In addition there may be more lines than that predicted by the multiplet rules"
"harder to make a correct assignment as the number of protons in a multiplet..."





Example sentence:

we assign the <b>multiple peak</b> at δ=4.12–4.18 ppm to the methylene protons bonded with carbonyl groups becaus

The 1 H NMR spectrum showed a <b>broad multiple peak</b>from 6.8 to 7.6 ppm
