+ + Nuclear Spin Nuclei with an odd mass or odd atomic number, eg 1H, have “nuclear spin” (in a similar fashion to the spin of electrons). Since a nucleus is a charged particle in motion, it will develop a magnetic field. The magnetic fieldgenerated by a nucleus of spin +1/2 is opposite in direction from that generated by a nucleus of spin –1/2. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
+ + + + + Orientation The distribution of nuclear spins is random in the absence of an external magnetic field. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis

Relationships The frequency of absorbed electromagnetic radiation is different for different elements, and for different isotopes of the same element. For a field strength of 4.7 T (4.7 x 104 gauss):1H absorbs radiation having a frequency of 200 MHz (200 x 106 s-1) 13C absorbs radiation having a frequency of 50.4 MHz (50.4 x 106 s-1) The frequency of absorbed electromagnetic radiation for a particular nucleus (such as 1H) depends on its molecularenvironment. This is what makes NMR spectroscopy such a useful tool. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis

C H 3 H C Si C H 3 3 C H 3 Reference Molecule Tetramethylsilane, TMS, is used as a reference molecule. All the hydrogens are in an identical environment and, more importantly, are far enough apart (with a Si shielding them) to have no coupling effect on each other. TMS is given a value of 0. The values for hydrogen atoms in other molecules will be shifted, due to the deshielding effect of other atoms in the molecule. The values for equivalent hydrogen atoms can be slightly different due to the coupling effect of adjacent hydrogen atoms. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis

More Vocabularly It is often convienient to describe the relative positions of the resonances in an NMR spectrum. For example, a peak at a chemical shift, d, of 10 ppm is said to be downfield or deshielded with respect to a peak at 5 ppm, or if you prefer, the peak at 5 ppm is upfield or shielded with respect to the peak at 10 ppm. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
sigma orbital applied magnetic field induced magnetic field Shielding The electrons around the proton create a magnetic field that opposes the applied field. Since this reduces the field experienced at the nucleus, the electrons are said to shield the proton Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis

induced magnetic field applied magnetic field More Deshielding Pi electrons (in muliple bonds) are perpendicular to sigma electrons. The magnetic field goes down through the centre of the ring and up through the hydrogen atoms on the outside. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis

Integration Most of the time you can expect to be told the number of H atoms at each position. Alternatively, the relative heights of the integrations, (along with molecular formula), can be used. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
H-NMR Chemical Shifts In ‘Theory’ Shifts can be used to identify which type of molecule the hydrogens are in. In reality, IR spectroscopy will have identified the type of molecule. NMR is mainly used to help identify the position of the hydrogens. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
3H O 3H H 2H H H H H H H H d 3 2 1 0 Splitting - Coupling Protons have themselves small magnetic fields. These can increase, or decrease, slightly the magnetic field experienced by adjacent hydrogens. This is called coupling. Any effect on Hydrogens on the same carbon is already part of the d value measured by the NMR spectrometer, while Hydrogens 3 bonds away, —C—C—H, are too far to feel an effect. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
HA C HA HX C C or Coupling - 1 hydrogen An isolated H atom would produce a single peak If a single hydrogen is present on the adjacent carbon then two possibilities exist. The field of the hydrogen can align with or against the magnetic field - two slightly different shifts - a doublet. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
HA HX C C or or or HX Coupling - 2 hydrogens If two hydrogens are present on the adjacent carbon then four possibilities exist. These two combinations would have same effect. Three slightly different shifts - a triplet. Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
A Pattern Emerges 0 adjacent hydrogens - a singlet produced 1 adjacent hydrogen - a doublet produced 2 adjacent hydrogens - a triplet produced 3 adjacent hydrogens - a quadruplet produced 4 adjacent hydrogens - a quintuplet produced Unit 3.4 Structural Analysis
Information in NMR Spectrum • number of signals - number ofdifferent typesof hydrogens. • their intensity (as measured by relative areas under peak ….called integration,gives integral values) - number of each type of hydrogen. • their shift, d - proximity to electronegative groups/ pi electrons etc. • splitting pattern (coupling) - how many hydrogens on adjacent carbons.
