How does anisotropy affect NMR spectroscopy?
How does anisotropy affect NMR spectroscopy?

In aromatic compounds like benzene, how does the direction of the induced magnetic field relate to the applied magnetic field at the location of the protons?
- It has no relation to the applied field.
- It is opposite to the applied field, causing shielding.

Study Notes
- Anisotropy Effect in ¹H NMR
Introduction to NMR and Anisotropy
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a spectroscopic technique used to study molecular structure.
- NMR relies on the interaction between nuclear spins of molecules with an external magnetic field.
- Anisotropy in NMR refers to the variation of the local magnetic field with molecular orientation.
- Anisotropy affects the shielding or deshielding of nuclei, which influences the chemical shift.
Anisotropy in ¹H NMR
- In the absence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic moments of the nuclei are randomly oriented.
- In the presence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic moments of the nuclei align with or against the applied magnetic field.
Anisotropy in Aromatic Compounds (Benzene)
- The magnetic field induced by π electrons is in the same direction as the applied magnetic field.
- Protons sense a large effective magnetic field.
- High frequency is required to flip their spin, resulting in a high δ value (6.5 to 8.0 ppm).
Anisotropy in Alkene and Carbonyl Groups
- The magnetic field induced by π electrons is in the same direction as the applied magnetic field.
- Protons sense a large effective magnetic field.
- High frequency is required to flip their spin:
- Alkene δ value: 4.7 to 5.3 ppm
- Carbonyl δ value: 9.0 to 10.0 ppm
Anisotropy in Alkynes
- Protons sense a smaller effective magnetic field.
- Signals appear at lower frequency, requiring less energy to flip their spin.
- Low δ value (1.9 ppm) is observed.
Conclusion
- Some types of protons have chemical shifts that are not easily explained by simple electronegativity of the attached groups.
- Aryl protons generally have a chemical shift as large as that of the proton of chloroform.
- Alkenes, alkynes, and aldehydes also have protons with resonance values that are not in line with the expected magnitudes of electron-withdrawing or hybridization effects.
- The anomalous shift is due to the presence of an unsaturated system (one with p electrons) in the vicinity of the molecule.
