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.
