Table 1. Mn, DPn, and Đ of the Lignin and Synthesized Oligomeric Fraction Using THF-SEC (Table S1), n = 2a.
sample | Mn | Mw | DPn | Đ |
---|---|---|---|---|
ethanol soluble cyclic extracted lignin | 1100 ± 30 | 1900 ± 57 | 6 | 1.8 ± 0.1 |
synthesized oligomeric lignin | 600 ± 16 | 650 ± 19 | 3 | 1.1 ± 0.010 |
The DPn calculation is based on a general mass of 180 Da, representing a monomeric repeating unit based on coniferyl alcohol, and is often used to determine the degree of polymerization.
