Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometry has been used to characterize coal tar pitch oils, which had been obtained from a low-temperature carbonization of high volatile bituminous coal. NMR provides data on hydrogen distribution in coal oils and structural correlations established on elution chromatographic, on distillation fractions, and on the residues remaining after distillation. This research is the first report on the hydrogen distribution of coal tar pitch oils by NMR.
