Firstly, the important parameters including carbon skeleton, valence state and functional group of the sample are obtained by ultimate analysis, 13 C NMR, XPS and Py-GC/MS. Results indicate that the ratio of aromatic carbon and aromatic bridge carbon to surrounding carbon of the sample are 40.32% and 0.14, respectively. Such results imply that the aromatic structure of the sample is dominated by benzene and naphthalene. Moreover, the ratio of aliphatic carbon is 51.55%, and the aliphatic structure is mainly comprised by methyl, methylene, quaternary carbon and oxygen-aliphatic carbon. Oxygen atoms principally exist in ether, carbonyl and carboxyl groups, of which ether accounts for 70.2%. Additionally, the contents of pyridine, pyrrole and quaternary nitrogen are 25.2%, 46.3% and 13.0%, respectively. Based on the aforementioned results, the molecular structure model of Zhaotong lignite is constructed by the method of computer-aided molecular design. Subsequently, the molecular formula of Zhaotong lignite is calculated as C;H;O;N;. Finally, in order to verify the reasonability of the constructed model, the 13 C NMR of the molecular structure model is simulated by employing the basis set of GIAO/6-31G at the Gaussian 09 computing platform. These simulated results agree well with the experimental ones, which suggests that the molecular structure model of Zhaotong lignite is accurate and reasonable.展开更多
