General description
Tetramethylsilane has been recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as a universal reference for all nuclides. It is commonly used as a reference standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for measuring proton chemical shifts and the temperature dependence of the 1H chemical shift of TMS in solvents such as chloroform, methanol, and dimethylsulfoxide is studied.
Application
Tetramethylsilane may be used as an internal standard for the quantitative analysis of medicinal plant extracts and herbal products using the quantitative NMR (qNMR) method. It may also be used as an internal standard to investigate peroxide-based chemical systems for the crosslinking reactions carried on isotactic polypropylene using FT-IR spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) techniques.

A series of methoxy- and fluorine-substituted [salophene]platinum(II) complexes (salophene=N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine) were synthesized and characterized by (1) H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structure was confirmed on the example of [5-OCH3 -salophene]platinum(II) (4-Pt) by crystal structure analysis. The cytotoxicity of all

The chemical shift of TMS is commonly assumed to be zero. However, it varies by over 1 ppm for 1H and 4 ppm for 13C and shows a correlation with the physical properties of the solvent. Using the commonly accepted
