Study Notes
NMR Spectroscopy
- NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analyzing molecular structures in solution and pure liquids.
- It examines the electronic structure and properties of chemical species.
- It's based on the absorption of radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation.
- NMR transitions occur in the 10-1000 MHz range.
- Nuclei of atoms are detected by this radiation.
Quantum Numbers
- Principle quantum number (n): Possible values are 1, 2, 3, ...
- Angular (azimuthal or orbital) quantum number (l): Possible values are 0, 1, 2, ..., (n-1)
- Magnetic quantum number (ml): Possible values are -l, ..., 0, ..., +l
- Spin quantum number (ms): Possible values are +1/2, -1/2
NMR Active Nuclei
- Nuclei with spin quantum number (I) = 0 have no angular momentum and aren't observable by NMR. (Examples: 12C, 16O, 32S)
- Common NMR-active nuclei in organic chemistry include 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P, 2H, 14N, 15N.
- 1H has a natural abundance of 99.9% and a strong magnetic moment, making it easier to observe.
- 13C has a lower abundance and weaker magnetic moment, but it is still widely used.
NMR Instrumentation
- Sample is dissolved in solvent.
- Sample is placed in a magnetic field (Bo).
- Short RF pulse is applied to the sample
- The sample rotates in the probe
- NMR spectrum is gathered by the receiver coil
- Data is analyzed and recorded by a computer.
Chemical Shift
- Different nuclei resonate at different frequencies, dependent on their chemical environment.
- The difference in NMR frequency is called chemical shift (δ).
- It's measured in parts per million (ppm).
- Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is the reference compound (δ = 0 ppm).
- Chemical shifts are typically in the range of 0-10 ppm for 1H and wider ranges for other nuclei.
- Nuclei in a deshielded environment resonate at a lower frequency than in a shielded environment.
- Chemical shifts are dependent on the electron density around the nuclei.
Spin-Spin Splitting
- Adjacent protons on a molecule can interact and cause splitting of signals in an NMR spectrum
- Splitting patterns can be predictable using the n+1 rule.
- n = the number of neighboring protons
Coupling Constant (J)
- The distance between the split lines in an NMR spectrum is the coupling constant (J).
- Coupling constant is measured in Hertz (Hz).
- Coupling constants can help identify some groups.
Multiplicity of Signals
- The shape and intensity of NMR signal lines give information about the groups present in a molecule.
- For simple molecules, the observed pattern is predictable using n+1 rule (number of neighboring protons)
