Fundamentals • Nuclear spin • Spin quantum number – ½ • Nuclei with spin state ½ are like little bar magnets and align with a B field. • Can align with (++) or against (+-) B • Small energy gap between + and – spin alignment (NMR insensitive/Boltzman dist) • Can probe difference with RW
(NMR insensitive/Boltzman dist) • Small population difference between +1/2 and -1/2 state • It is the small excess of nuclei in the -1/2 that produce NMR signal
Common NMR nuclei • Protons, 1H • 13C • 15N • 19F • 31P • Sensitivity depends on natural isotopic abundance and g DE = gћB0 , bigger magnet, greater sensitivity
The basis of the NMR experiment • Chemical Shift; Nuclei in different bonding environments have different DEs (electron density). • Spin-Spin Splitting; Adjacent nuclei split the signal into multiplets in a predictable fashion.
Chemical Shift • Shielding • Electrons have spin, produce local B environments • Protons in different electronic environments experience different B (Bm +Be), different precessing frequencies, DE = hu • Chemical shift proportional to size of magnet • ppm {(s-s0)/s0}*106
Spin-Spin Coupling • Adjacent nuclei have a 50/50 chance of being spin up (+1/2) or spin down (-1/2) • Each produce a small magnetic field that is either with or against B0 • 1 adjacent proton CHOCH3 • CH3 is a doublet at frequencies u0-ua, u0+ua (equal intensity), 1:1 • CH is a quadruplet 1:3:3:1
Splitting Patterns • J values • Quadruplet • Triplet • Multiplets 1 3 3 1 1 2 1 ¼ ½ ¼ ¾ 1 ½ ¾ ¾ 1 ½ ¾ ¼ ½ ¼ 1 2 1 3 6 3 3 6 3 1 2 1
FT pulse • Radiofrequency generator • A short, intense pulse generates a magnetic field in the x-y plane (excites all nuclei) • M0 of the nuclei interacts with the magnetic field produced by the pulse. • Tips M0 off axis Θ = gB1tp tp – length of pulse, 90 pulse
Relaxation • T1 spin-lattice (relaxing back to precessing about the z axis) • T2 spin-spin (fanning out)
Induced current in coil • After pulse, nuclei begin to precess in phase in the x-y plane • Packet of nuclei induce current in RF coil • Relaxation is measured by monitoring the induced coil • → FID (→ FT) NMR spectrum
Noise reduction and increasing resolution • Apodization: Multiply the free-induction decay (FID) by a decreasing exponential function which mathematically suppresses the noise at long times. Other forms of apodization functions can be used to improve resolution or lineshape. • Zero filling
13C NMR • 13C frequency • Different tuning folk • Broadband Decoupling of 1H • No spin-spin coupling • NOE effect • Assignments based on chemical shift • Wider frequency range
Obtaining a 13C NMR Spectrum • 1H Broadband decoupling • Gives singlet 13C peaks, provided no F, P, or D present in the molecule) • Continuous sequence of pulses at the 1H frequency causes a rapid reversal of spin orientation relative to the B0, causing coupling to 13C to disappear

13C Chemical Shifts • Reference is TMS, sets 0 ppm • A range of 200 ppm • Chemical shifts can be predicted • Empirical correlations • Ex. Alkanes di = -2.3 + 9.1na + 9.4nb – 2.5ng + 0.3nd + 0.1ne + Sij 2-methylbutane di = -2.3 + 9.1*1 + 9.4*2 – 2.5*1 - 1.1 = 22.0 (22.3)
Signal averaging • 13C experiment generally take longer than 1H experiments because many more FIDs need to be acquired and averaged to obtain adequate sensitivity. • NOE effect (enhancement/reduction in signal as a result of decoupling) N4 N4 13C W2 1H N2 N2 N3 N3 W1 1H 13C N1 N1
NOE effect • W2 (Enhancement) dominates in small molecules • Relevant for all decoupling experiments
Other more complex 1D Experiments • 1H NOE experiment • Inversion Recovery Experiment; Determination of T1 • J modulated Spin Echo • INEPT Experiment • DEPT Experiment
Targeted 1H Spin Decoupling • Continuous irradiation at a frequency (n2) that corresponds to a specific proton in the molecule during the 1H NMR experiment • All coupling associated with the protons corresponding to n2 disappears from the spectrum

NOE- nuclear Overhauser effect • Saturation of one spin system changes the equilibrium populations of another spin system • NOE effect can be positive or negative. In small molecules it is usually positive
Selective Heteronuclear Decoupling • Saturate at a specific frequency • Multiplets collapse reveal connectivity
More Complex NMR Pulse Sequences • J-Modulated Spin Echo experiment • Cq and CH2 down and CH3 and CH up • DEPT experiment • Q= 45, 90, 135 • CH3 [DEPT(90)], CH2 [DEPT(45)-DEPT(135)], CH [DEPT(45)+DEPT(135)-0.707DEPT(90)] • 2D-NMR • Het. 2D J resolved/Homo 2D J resolved • 1H-1H COSY • 1H/13C HETCOR
