Spectroscopy
Introduction
• NMR is the most powerful tool available for
organic structure determination and
elucidation.
3
Nuclear Spin
• A nucleus with an odd atomic number or an odd mass
number has a nuclear spin.
4
External Magnetic Field
• When placed in an external field (Bo), spinning
protons act like bar magnets.
5
External Magnetic Field
• Therefore the spin states of a nucleus is affected by
an applied magnetic field (Bo)
6
Two Energy States
• The magnetic fields of
the spinning nuclei will
align either with the
external field, or
against the field.
7
Two Energy States
• The energy difference between the two spin states depends
on the strength of the magnetic field
8

Magnetic Shielding
• If ALL protons absorbed the same amount of energy in
a given magnetic field
Ø not much information could be obtained
Ø a single NMR absorption will be observed
12
Magnetic Shielding
• ALL nuclei on a molecule is surrounded by
electrons.

Y= electronegative atom 15
Shielded Protons
• Magnetic field strength must be increased
for a shielded proton to flip at the same
frequency.
16
Protons in a Molecule
• Depending on their chemical environment,
protons in a molecule are shielded by
different amounts.
17
NMR Signals
• The number of signals shows how many
different kinds of protons are present.
• The location of the signals shows how
shielded or deshielded the proton is.
• The intensity of the signal shows the
number of protons of that type.
• Signal splitting shows the number of
protons on adjacent atoms.

Chemical Shift
• Measured in parts per million.
Chapter 13 25
Location of Signals
• More electronegative
atoms deshield more and
give larger shift values.
• Additional electronegative
atoms cause increase in
chemical shift.

Diamagnetic Anisotropy
• π electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei than σ
electrons; ⇔ more free to move in a magnetic field
This “diamagnetic
anisotropy” is

exchangeable protons
• Chemical shift depends on concentration.

Number of Signals
• Equivalent hydrogens have the same
chemical shift.

Intensity of Signals
• The area under each peak is proportional
to the number of protons.
• Shown by integral trace.

Spin-Spin Splitting
• Protons in chemically identical environment and
usually magnetically equivalent.
43
Spin-Spin Splitting
• Nonequivalent protons on adjacent carbons have
magnetic fields that may align with or oppose the
external field.

The N + 1 Rule
• If a signal is split by N equivalent protons,
it is split into N + 1 peaks.
49
The N + 1 Rule
• Therefore when a signal is observed in the 1H NMR spectrum,
often it is split into multiple peaks
50
Range of Magnetic
Coupling
• Equivalent protons DO NOT split each other.

Time Dependence
• Molecules are tumbling relative to the magnetic
field, so NMR is an averaged spectrum of all the
orientations.
65
N-H Proton
• Moderate rate of exchange.
• Peak may be broad.
66
Identifying the O-H
or N-H Peak
• Chemical shift will depend on concentration and
solvent.
1.
• The magnetic moment (hence NMR signals) of a 13C
nucleus is much weaker than that of a proton.
68
The basic of 13C NMR Spectroscopy
1.
• This is fortunate, as it allows us to look at 13C signals using
a completely separate 'window’ of radio frequencies.
2.
• Since 13C nucleus accounts for only 1% of carbon atoms in
nature and has weaker NMR signal,
69
The basic of 13C NMR Spectroscopy
3.
• Chemical shifts for 13C nuclei in organic molecule s are
spread out over a much wider range than for protons (0 to
220 ppm for 13C compared to 0 to 14 ppm for protons)
70

• Unlike 1H NMR signals, the area under a 13C-NMR signal
cannot be used to determine the number of carbons to
which it corresponds.

Proton Spin Decoupling
• To simplify the spectrum, protons are
continuously irradiated with “noise,” so
they are rapidly flipping.
