Computer-aided Interpretation of Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra (Ⅰ)——An Artificial Intelligence System for Interpretation of Proton NMR Spectra of Polymers

An artificial intelligence system for interpretation of proton NMR spectra of polymers is reported in this paper. The system, including spectra data base, knowledge data base and reasoning engine, is based on the characteristics of the proton NMR spectra of polymers and the spectra interpretation experiences of specialist. The system can partly simulate human thinking and interpret proton NMR spectra of polymers at different levels of sophistication. The program in the system was written in Turbo Prolog 2.0 and translated into machine language by computer compiler. It has been tested on an IBM PC/XT computer and a satisfactory result was given.
