Protons and neutrons can be regarded as spinning about

their axis.
In many atoms these spins are paired against each other
and so the nucleus has no overall spin (e.g. 12C).
In some atoms (e.g. 1H and 13C) the nucleus has an
overall spin.
A nucleus that spins generates a magnetic
field.
The direction of the magnetic field depends
which way the nucleus spins.

Usually the two possible spin states of the nucleus have

the same amount of energy.
However, in a magnetic field, the two spin states have
different energies.

The spectra are recorded on a scale known as the

chemical shift (), which is how much the field is shifted
from the field for TMS compared to the field for TMS.

Field for TMS
The is a measure in parts per million (ppm) of how far the

magnetic field required for absorption is shifted away from

C NMR spectra are often simpler than 1H NMR spectra.
They give a lot of valuable information about the chemical

environment of C atoms (e.g. the difference between C
atoms in C=O, C-N, CN, C-C, C=C, etc.).
There is one signal for each set of equivalent C atoms.
There is no coupling (unlike 1H NMR).
The size of signal is not relative to the number of equivalent
C atoms (unlike H atoms in 1H NMR).
As in 1H NMR, the chemical shift (d) is measured relative to
TMS.
Although deuterated solvents are usually used, there will be
a signal for any C atoms in the solvent.
