Identification and Quantification of Hydrocarbon Functional Groups in Gasoline Using <sup>1</sup>H-NMR Spectroscopy for Property Prediction

Gasoline is one of the most important distillate fuels obtained from crude refining; it is mainly used as an automotive fuel to propel spark-ignited (SI) engines. It is a complex hydrocarbon fuel that is known to possess several hundred individual molecules of varying sizes and chemical classes. The...
