Abstract A 33 S NMR spectrum has been obtained from an asphaltene sample for the first time. Asphaltene from the Athabasca tar sands bitumen, Alberta, Canada, was oxidized with Ru VIII , which selectively converts sulphide sulphur into the corresponding sulphone. The 33 S NMR spectrum of this sample...
