Abstract: | A petroleum pitch and > 288 °C fraction of an ethylene pyrolysis tar are separated by sequential solvent extraction into fractions differing in average molecular weight. Average molecular parameters for each fraction are obtained using their H and 13C n.m.r. spectra. Average molecular structures which correlate with the observed data are drawn. The data presented here suggest that the average molecule of the fractions of both petroleum pitch and pyrolysis tar can be represented by an oligomeric structure in which small aromatic clusters are joined by aliphatic bridges and/or biaryl linkages. This contradicts the accepted assumption that the aromatic ring system in petroleum-derived products is fully condensed. Although the average molecular structure of the fractions of pitch and ethylene pyrolysis tar are basically similar, they differ in the number and types of ring-saturated carbons. |
