Presentation Transcript

  1. NMR Samples • Types of NMR tubes • Sample preparation

  2. Types of NMR Tubes Solution NMR Sample Tube Spinners Solid State Sample Rotors NMR Sample Tubes with Caps

  3. NMR Sample Preparation • Use clean + dry NMR tubes and caps (tubes can be re-used, caps should not!) • 0.5 ml deuterated solvent (i.e. CDCl ,C D , acetone-d ,etc.) • substrate requirements for routine spectra: 10 mg for proton NMR 100 mg for carbon-13 NMR • min. filling height of tube: 2 inches (5 cm) • Cleaning of tubes: 1. rinse with solvent you were using 2. rinse with acetone 3. dry in (vacuum-)oven at low temperature 5 mm 3 6 6 6

  4. NMR Sample Preparation Clean clear solution Suspension or opaque solution Precipitate Not enough solvent Two phases Concentration gradient GOOD! B a d S a m p l e s !

  5. Good and bad NMR Spectra … are the result of: • Sample preparation • Choice of solvent • Homogeneity of magnetic field • Data acquisition parameters • Processing procedures

  6. Good spectrum ppm ppm

  7. Good spectrum ppm Peakpicking Integrals ppm ppm scale

  8. Good spectrum ppm ppm

  9. Bad spectrum ?

  10. Bad spectrum ! No units specified for axis and peak picking Signal/Noise ratio bad

  11. Bad spectrum ?

  12. Bad spectrum ! Tall signals are cut off

  13. Bad spectrum ?

  14. Bad spectrum ! Signals too small (only allowed to compare signal intensities between different spectra)

  15. Bad spectrum ?

  16. Bad spectrum ! Broad signals(bad sample, poor shimming, wrong processing parameters)

  17. Bad spectrum ?

  18. Bad spectrum ! Signals are distorted (automatic phase correction is often insufficient) Excessive peak picking (low p.p. threshold,also due to improper phasing)

  19. Bad spectrum ?

  20. Bad spectrum ? Areas without signals should be excluded. (If you want to print all your spectra with a default range, i.e. 0-10 ppm, don’t forget to print detailed expansions.)
