INTERACTIONS OF RADIATION AND MATTER • CONSERVATIVE DISRUPTS THE RADIATION, NOT THE MATTERX-RAY, UV-VIS, IR, MICRO, RF REFLECTION, REFRACTION, DIFFRACTION, ABSORPTION • DESTRUCTIVE CONVERTS RADIATION AND MATTER INTO PARTICLES FAR-UV, X-RAY, NUCLEAR IONIZATION
MAGNETIC FIELDS INTERACT • ODD SPIN NUCLEI ARE MAGNETIC • EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD NO EFFECT • ~20K GAUSE MAGNET SEPARATES SPIN ‘UP” AND “DOWN” ENERGY STATES
THE PLANK CONDITION IS MET FOR RF E = h for radio frequencies Absorption of rf radiation results in a momentary reorientation of magnetic nuclei. Each nucleus absorbs at a frequency determined by its chemical “environment.” These events are recorded as an NMR spectrum.
NMR Spectrum Intensity vs Chemical Shift Intensity ~ Number of protons with a given chemical shift Chemical shift = f (structure) Structure = Chemical “Environment” Electronic Stereochemical Nearby H atoms
The 0.00 is the defined Chemical Shiftfor TMS • TMS is an internal standard that is added to solutions. • ~95% of all protons in organic molecules have chemical shifts downfield if TMS
“Ring Current” from pi electron circulation is desheilding.
Coupling Constants • The separation between split peaks is the coupling constant. • The coupling constant indicates the strength of the splitting interaction. • It depends on distance and stereochemistry.
