These spectroscopic techniques are mutually complimentary and a combination of these three-along with a Mass Spectroscopy form a powerful device in the determination of structures of organic molecules.
History of NMR Spectroscopy
In 1945 - The phenomenon was simultaneously discovered by two groups: Purcell, Torrey and Pound at Harvard University: Paraffin Bloch, Hansen and Packard at Stanford University: Water
In 1950 – The first NMR spectra of ethyl alcohol was recorded by Arnold, Dharmatti and Packard.
In 1952 – The two discoverers (Bloch and Purcell) were awarded the First Nobel Prize in NMR (Physics).
In 1991 – The second Nobel Prize in NMR (Chemistry) was awarded to Richard Ernst for discoveries of advanced methodologies.
In 2002 – The third Nobel Prize in NMR (Chemistry) was awarded to Kurt Wuthrich for determination of structures of Biomolecules in solution by NMR. Nobel Prize awaited to Paul Lauterbur for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Properties of Nuclei
The spinning of positively charged particle produces:
(1) Spin angular momentum or Spin quantum number (I)
(2) Magnetic moment () along the axis of spin
(3) Electric quadrupole moment (Q)
(as a result of non-spherical distribution of nuclear charge)
The angular momentum of spinning nucleus is described in terms of spin quantum no.I
The spin quantum no. I is a characteristic constant of a nucleus, and is dependent on the number of protons and neutrons.
1) Nuclei with odd mass number and odd or even no. of protons havehalf – integral spin such as 1/2, 3/2, 5/2 etc.
2) Nuclei with even mass number and odd no. of protons have integral spin such as 1, 2, 3
3) Nuclei with even mass number and even no.of protons always have zero spin (Due to pairing of oppositely directed spins in the nucleus)
In general three rules apply to the nuclear spins.

Nuclear Properties of Important Nuclei - I
Requirements of nuclei to be NMR active
Three important characteristics: Nuclei should have Spin no. I > 0 and magnetic momemtum > 0 Nuclei should have even charge distribution that is nucleus should be spherical in shape so as Q = 0. Nuclei should have high % of natural abundance
1H, 13C, 19 F and 31 P nuclei have I = 1/2 and > 0 These nuclei are spherical in shape (even charge distribution) and Q = 0So observed by NMR technique.1H, 19F and 31P have high % abundance
12C and 16O nuclei are also spherical in shape Q = 0; but I = 0 and = 0So non-magnetic and not observed by NMR
2H, and 14N nuclei have I > 0; > 0 and Q > 0 Nuclei are ellipsoidal prolate in shape, so no even charge distribution. So difficult to study by NMR

Basic NMR Equation
For proton spin no. I = ½. Therefore, there are (2I + 1) two possible orientations.The energy of orientation is a product of magnetic moment and strength of the appliedField Ho (E = Ho).
At resonance:h = 2 Ho
Ho /hThe equation is rewritten as
Ho /2
Where = 2. / h.IIt is a proportionality constantbetween and I.Also called as Gyro magnetic ratio.It is constant for a particular nucleibut different for different nuclei.

NMR Signals
• The number of signals show how many different kinds of protons are present.
• The location of the signals show how shielded or deshielded the proton are.
• The intensity of the signal shows the number of protons of that type.
• Signal splitting shows the number of protons on adjacent atoms.
Integration
The process of excitation in NMR involves the flipping of the nucleus. This process of transition and the probability of the transition is same for all the protons, irrespective of the electronic environment. As a result, the area under the NMR resonance is proportional to the number of hydrogens which that resonance represents.
In this way, by integrating the different NMR resonance, information regarding the relative numbers of chemically distinct hydrogens can be found.
The integrals will appear as a line over the NMR spectrum. Integration only gives information on the relative number of different hydrogens, not the absolute
number.

Chemical Shift: Shielding of a proton in a magnetic field
Basic equation of NMR is = Ho/2 wherein resonance frequency is simply a function of applied magnetic field and gyro magnetic ratio. If so, then all the protons in a molecule should resonate at one place- NMR of no value to organic chemists!!!!! What is true?
= Ho/2 Where, Ho = strength of the applied magnetic field experienced by the nucleus.And Ho = H1 (1 ) where H1 is the actual strength of the applied field and is the shielding constant.More the electron density – more is the shieldingLess the electron density – more is the deshielding
The resonance frequencyis, to a small extent,dependent on its Electronic EnvironmentMaking NMR Useful to Structure Determination

Requirements for a reference standard in NMR
A good standard should meet the following requirements:• It should be chemically inert (non-reactive).• It should give a single sharp line.• It should be magnetically isotropic.• It should have unique line position.• It should be Miscible with organic solvents.• It should be readily volatile to allow recovery of the compound.
TetraMethylSilane
Silicon is more electro-positive than carbon. Therefore,pushes electron density towards carbon and thus to hydrogen-making methyl protons strongly shielded.

Units of Chemical shift Chemical shifts are expressed in Hz.
Chemical shifts expressed in Hz are proportional to the applied magnetic field HO/oscillator frequency.
For example, In CH3CH2OH 60 MHz 100 MHz 300 MHz CH3 60 Hz 100 Hz 300 Hz CH2 216 Hz 360 Hz 1050 Hz OH 300 Hz 500 Hz 1500 Hz This can be calculated by the equation: Frequency of X proton (Hz) in A instrument X Osc. frequency of B in Hz Osc. frequency of A in Hz (major difficulty in calculating chemical shift as variety of instruments)

Spin-spin Coupling
• Three groups of non-equivalent hydrogens, therefore three signals are expected.• These signals are split into peaks due to the spin-spin interactions of non-equivalent protons.• Spin-spin interaction occurs between adjacent non-equivalent protons only.

Coupling constant J is always expressed in HzJ is Independent of Operating frequency.Multiplets are symmetric about the mid point =
Mutually coupled protons have identical coupling constant J
JJ
Spin-Spin Coupling• Nonequivalent protons on adjacent carbons
have magnetic fields that may align with or oppose the external field.
• This magnetic coupling causes the proton to absorb slightly downfield when the external field is reinforced and slightly upfield when the external field is opposed.
• All possibilities exist, so signal is split.
Types of Coupling
Three types of coupling in NMR
Geminal Coupling [1,3 coupling]: Coupling between nuclei on the same carbon (Two bond coupling)
Vicinal Coupling [1,4 coupling]: Coupling between nuclei on the adjacent carbon atom (Three bond coupling)
Long range Coupling [1,5; 1,6- coupling] Coupling between nuclei separated by more than three carbon atoms (Coupling between nuclei separated by more than three bonds)

Rules of coupling (First Order Analysis)
Three rules govern the number and nature of multiplets in NMR
Equivalent protons do not couple with each other.
Maximum No. of Lines = (2na.Ia + 1) x (2nb. Ib + 1) x (2nc. Ic + 1)……. na, nb, nc = number of neighboring non-equivalent nuclei Ia,Ib, Ic = spin numbers of the respective nuclei. In case of 1H, 19F and 31P nuclei, spin no. = ½. Therefore, Maximum no. of lines = (na + 1) x (nb + 1)….
When the multiplicity is produced by a group of equivalent nuclei with I = ½, the intensities of the different lines are given by the coefficient of
expression (X + 1)n where n = number of interacting nuclei.
These rules are valid if J > 6 (where is a frequency difference between coupled protons)

Factors affecting Vicinal Coupling Constant (3J)
The magnitude of 3J (sign is always positive) depends in essence upon four factors
The dihedral angle , between the C-H bonds under consideration (a).
The C,C bond length, R(b).
The H-C-C valence angles, and ’ (c)
The electronegativity of the substituent R on the H-C-C-H

Effect of High Oscillator Frequency
Chemical shift in Hz is proportional to the oscillator frequency.Coupling constant J in Hz is not proportional to the oscillator frequency.As a result, NMR spectra are more resolved at high operating frequency.For example:The NMR of compound BrCH2CH2CH2 shows: 3.70 (t, J = 7 Hz), 3.55 (t, J = 7 Hz), 2.27 (quin, J = 7 Hz)
As /J ratio increases - NMR is more resolved Interpreted by first order analysis

ADVANCES IN MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has reached a high level of maturity and has established itself as the diagnostic modality of choice in almost all neurological system disorders, joint diseases, Mediastinal and heart pathologies, work-up of abdominal and pelvic malignancies and evaluation of vascular system of the body.
