    Study Notes

    NMR Spectroscopy

    • An analytical technique providing information about a molecule's structure by analyzing the energy absorbed by different bond environments.
    • Different bond environments absorb different energies, resulting in distinct peaks on a spectrum.
    • Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is used as a standard reference point (∂=0 ppm).

    C13 NMR

    • Analyzes different carbon environments within a molecule, displayed as peaks at various ∂ values.
    • Carbon environments near oxygen are shifted to the right on the spectrum due to oxygen's high electronegativity.
    • Molecules with symmetry might exhibit fewer peaks than the number of carbon atoms present.
    • Requires the use of molecular formula to interpret the structure in such cases.

    H1 NMR (Proton NMR)

    • Analyzes different hydrogen environments in a molecule, displayed as peaks on a spectrum.
    • Heights of peaks indicate relative intensities, reflecting the number of hydrogens in that particular environment.
    • Samples are dissolved in non-hydrogen-containing solvents (CCl4 or deuterated solvents) to avoid interference.

    Peak Splitting and Interpretation

    • Peaks are split into smaller clusters indicating the number of hydrogens on the adjacent carbon atom.
    • Peak splitting follows the "n+1" rule, where "n" is the number of hydrogens on the adjacent carbon.
    • Singlet: No hydrogens on the adjacent carbon.
    • Doublet: One hydrogen on the adjacent carbon.
    • Triplet: Two hydrogens on the adjacent carbon.
    • Quartet: Three hydrogens on the adjacent carbon.

    Common Peak Combinations

    • A triplet-quartet splitting pattern is characteristic of a -CH2-CH3 fragment.
    • By analyzing the splitting patterns and intensity of peaks, individual fragments can be identified and pieced together to determine the entire molecular structure.

    NMR Spectroscopy

    • NMR Spectroscopy is an analytical technique that uses the energy absorbed by different bond environments within a molecule to determine its structure.
    • Different bond environments absorb different amounts of energy, resulting in different peaks on a spectrum.
    • The bond environment peaks are measured against a standard molecule, tetramethylsilane (Si(CH3)4), known as TMS.
    • TMS has four identical carbon and hydrogen environments and is seen as a peak at ∂ = 0 ppm on the x-axis.

    C13-NMR

    • C13 NMR analyses the different carbon environments in a molecule.
    • Carbon environments near an oxygen atom have ∂ values shifted to the right due to oxygen's electronegativity.
    • Symmetrical molecules may display fewer ∂ peaks than the number of carbon atoms.
    • It is crucial to refer to the molecular formula of the compound to decipher its structure in these cases.

    H1-NMR (Proton NMR)

    • H1-NMR analyses different hydrogen environments in a molecule and displays them as peaks on a spectrum.
    • The sample must be dissolved in a non-hydrogen-containing solvent like CCl4 or deuterated solvents.
    • The height of the peaks in H1 NMR spectra shows the relative intensity of each ∂ value, corresponding to the number of hydrogens in that environment.
    • Peak splitting patterns in H1 NMR indicate the number of hydrogens on the adjacent carbon atom, following an 'n+1' rule:
      • Singlet: no H on adjacent carbon
      • Doublet: 1 H on adjacent carbon
      • Triplet: 2 H on adjacent carbon
      • Quartet: 3 H on adjacent carbon
    • A triplet-quartet splitting pattern is common and represents a -CH2-CH3 fragment.

    Determining Molecular Structure

    • By analyzing peak combinations and splitting patterns, different fragments of the molecule can be identified and pieced together to determine the overall structure.
