Resonance Spectroscopy
Types of NMR
1. Proton-nmr (1H-nmr)
Takes into account the signals from protons
or H in a compound or molecule
2. 13C-nmr (CMR)
Takes into account the signals from carbon in
a compound or molecule
Theoretical framework
1. Like electrons, the nuclei of certain atoms
are considered to spin. Visualize the nuclear
charge is spinning around an axis.
Theoretical framework
2. Spinning charges in nucleus generates a magnetic
field with a magnetic moment () directed along
the axis of spin, so that the nuclei act like tiny bar
magnets
Theoretical framework
3. If a proton is placed in an external magnetic
field, its magnetic moment can be aligned
with or against the external field.
Alignment with the filed is more stable, and
energy must be absorbed to flip the tiny
proton magnet over to the less stable
alignment, against the field
Theoretical framework
4. The amount of energy needed to flip a
proton over depends on the strength of the
external field
The stronger the field, the greater the
tendency to remain lined up with it, and the
higher the frequency (v) of the radiation
needed to do the job)
E = h
v = Ho/2
Where v = frequency in Hertz (Hz)
Ho = strength of the magnetic field, in
gauss
= a nuclear constant
= the magnetogyric ratio

Theoretical framework
5. At a given radiofrequency, all protons
absorb at the same effective field strength,
but they absorb at different applied file
strengths
It is this applied field strength that is
measured, and against which the absorption
is plotted.

NMR Interpretation
A. The Zero Point
At the extreme right of the nmr, a sharp
peak from the protons is the internal
standard, TMS
This signal is defined as zero point and all
other values for the chemical shift are taken
from this point
0 ppm

NMR Interpretation
B. The Chemical Shift ()
Change in the position of the nmr signals
which depends on the chemistry of the
molecule
Shielded proton moves upfield (C2H2) and
resonate at lower delta values (toward
TMS)
Nuclei tend to be deshielded by groups with
withdrawn electron density
