(PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES)
INTRODUCTION
 Nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, is a physical phenomenon of
resonance transition between magnetic energy levels, happening when
atomic nuclei are immersed in an external magnetic field and applied an
electromagnetic radiation with specific frequency.
 By detecting the absorption signals, one can acquire NMR spectrum.
 NMR results from specific magnetic properties of certain atomic
nuclei.

CHEMICAL SHIFT(𝛿)
 Chemical Shift is the difference in resonance frequencies of two nuclei
due to differences in their local molecular environment.
 Internal standard-tetramethylsilane (TMS; (H3C)4Si).
 The chemical shift arises from the applied field inducing secondary fields
of about 0.15-0.2 mT at the proton by interacting with the adjacent
bonding electrons.

 The chemical shift of any hydrogen proton depends on its neighbouring
environment.
 If the induced field opposes the applied field, the latter will have to be at a
slightly higher value for resonance to occur. (shielded)
 Alternatively, if the induced and applied fields are aligned, the latter is
required to be at a lower value for resonance. (deshielded)

• The type of proton giving rise to a particular band may thus be identified by the resonance peak position,
i.e. its chemical shift.
• The area under each peak is proportional to the number of protons of that particular type.

The effects encountered in the dipolar interaction are transmitted through space
over a limited distance in the order of 0.5nm or less.
13C NMR

 13C-13C couplings ( homonuclear couplings) do not arise.
 1H-13C interactions (heteronuclear couplings) are possible.
 DEPT ( Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer)
experiments are used for distinguishing between a CH3 group (methyl), a
CH2 group ( methylene), and a CH group( methyne).
 In DEPT, sequences of multiple pulses are used to excite nuclear spins
at different angles, usually 45°, 90° or 135°.
Although interactions have been decoupled, in this situation the resonances
exhibit positive or negative signal intensities dependent on the number of protons
bonded to the carbon.
Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (2D NMR)

 2D NMR is a set of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)
methods which give data plotted in a space defined by two frequency rather
than one.
