N/N = e-E/kT

For a 300 MHz instrument, N/N = 1,000,000/1,000,048.Therefore, for every two million nuclei, there are only 48 excess nuclei in the spin state!! Therefore NMR is an

inherently insensitive technique.http://teaching.shu.ac.uk/hwb/chemistry/tutorials/molspec/nmr1.htm

Excitation by RF Energy and Subsequent Relaxation

T1 = spin-lattice relaxation time; establishes the z axis equilibrium. T1’sare usually short (<1 sec) in 1H NMR. They can be quite long (>1 min) in 13C NMR.

T2 = spin-spin relaxation time; causes a decrease in magnetization in the x-y plane.For a good magnet, T2 = 1-2 sec.

Presentation of NMR Data

= chemical shift (Hz) – shift of tetramethyl silane (TMS; 0 Hz) = ppm spectrometer frequency (MHz)

For example, in CH2Cl2 a sharp singlet occurs at 1,590 Hz using a 300 MHz spectrometer frequency.

The chemical shift is:(1,590 – 0) Hz = 5.3 ppm 300 MHz

Chemical shift, / ppm 4.26 3.4 3.05 2.68 2.16 0.23 0

Electronegative groups attached to the C-H system decrease the electron density around the protons, and there is less shielding (i.e. deshielding) so the chemical shift increases.

These effects are cumulative, so the presence of more electronegative groups produce more deshielding and therefore, larger chemical shifts.

Spin-Spin Splitting: The n+1 rule in Vicinal Coupling (HA-C-C-HB)

Equivalent nuclei do not couple each other.

The number of lines in a multiplet is determined by the number of equivalent protons on neighboring atoms plus one, i.e. the n + 1 ruleThe distance between the peaks is called the coupling constant (3J).

The coupling constant is not dependent on the applied field strength.

If JHA-HB = JHA’-HB then the n+1 rule applies and HB appears as a 1:2:1 triplet.

However, if the relevant J values are not the same, the splitting is more complex.

First-Order CouplingThe splitting pattern shown below displays the ideal or"First-Order" arrangement of lines. This is usually observedif the spin-coupled nuclei have very different chemical shifts.

The condition that must be met is /J > 6. Consider ethyl acetate.

HA = 1.26 ppm x 90 Hz/ppm = 113.4 HzHC = 4.11 ppm x 90 Hz/ppm = 369.9 Hz

/J = (369.9 – 113.4)Hz/7.2 Hz = 35.6


However, if the ratio of Δν to J decreases to less than 10 a significant distortion of the expected pattern will take place.
