Carbon-13 NMR Spectroscopy both give us information about the number of chemically nonequivalent nuclei (nonequivalent hydrogens or nonequivalent carbons) both give us information about the environment of the nuclei (hybridization state, attached atoms, etc.) H1 and C13 NMR Spectroscopy
SPIN PROPERTIES OF ATOMIC NUCLEI • What is spin? The Simple explanation • Spin is a fundamental property of nature like electrical charge or mass. • Spin is a measure of angular momentum (rotation about an axis) hence the term • Spin comes in multiples of 1/2 (0, 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2…) and can be + or -. • Protons, electrons, and neutrons possess spin. • Individual unpaired electrons, protons, and neutrons each possesses a spinof 1/2 • Atomic nuclei composed of neutrons and protons may also possess spin. • The spin of an atomic nucleus is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. • Atoms with an odd number of protons will have spin • Atoms with an odd number of neutrons will have spin • Atoms with an odd number of both protons and neutrons will have spin • Atoms with an even number of both protons and neutrons will not have spin • The value of nuclear spin is represented by the symbol I, the nuclear spin quantum number. (I = 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2….) • A nucleus with spin of I can exist in (2I+1) spin states. • The shell model for the nucleus tells us that nucleons (protons and neutrons), just like electrons, fill orbitals. When the number of protons or neutrons equals 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126, orbitals are filled. Because nucleons have spin, just like electrons do, their spin can pair up when the orbitals are being filled and cancel out. Odd numbers mean unfilled orbitals, that do not cancel out.

Features of 13C NMR Spectra • Each unique C in a structure gives a single peak in the spectrum; there is rarely any overlap. • The C NMR spectrum spans over 200 ppm; chemical shifts only 0.001 ppm apart can be distinguished; this allows for over 2x105 possible chemical shifts for carbon. • The intensity (size) of each peak is NOT directly related to the number of that type of carbon. Other factors contribute to the size of a peak: • Peaks from carbon atoms that have attached hydrogen atoms are bigger than those that don’t have hydrogens attached. • Carbon chemical shifts are usually reported as downfield from the carbon signal of tetramethylsilane (TMS).

Symmetry in C-13 NMR Each unique carbon in a molecule gives rise to a 13C NMR signal. Therefore, if there are fewer signals in the spectrum than carbon atoms in the compound, the molecule must possess symmetry. Examples:
EnantiotopicvsDiastereotopiccarbons’s * * * * *
Predicting 13C NMR Determine the number of signals in the proton-decoupled C-13 NMR spectrum of each of the following compounds:
13C signals are spread over a much wider range than 1H signals making it easier to identify and count individual nuclei The following slides show the 1H NMR and the 13C spectrumof 1-chloropentane. It is much easier to identify the compound as 1-chloropentane by its 13C spectrum than by its 1H spectrum. 1H and 13C NMR compared:

13C-NMR: Integration time for nucleus to relax from excited spin state to ground state • 1H-NMR: Integration reveals relative number of hydrogens per signal • 13C-NMR: Integration reveals relative number of carbons per signal • Rarely useful due to slow relaxation time for 13C
electronegativity of groups attached to carbon hybridization state of carbon 13C Chemical shifts are most affected by:
13C NMR Chemical Shifts Several functionalities appear directly on 13C NMR which are not ‘visible’ in 1H NMR: - Quaternary carbons - ipso carbons - Carbonyl carbons sp3 carbon sp3-EWG alkyne carbons alkene carbons aromatic carbons carbonyl carbons downfield d (ppm) upfield deshielded shielded higher DE lower DE
Chemical Shift - 13C-NMR • Trends • RCH3 < R2CH2 < R3CH • Electronegative atoms cause downfield shift • Pi bonds cause downfield shift • C=O 160-210 ppm

Spin-Spin Coupling in 13C NMR Homonuclear coupling of 13C-13C is possible in theory. However, due to the low natural abundance of 13C, it is rare to find two 13C’s in the same molecule, let alone adjacent to one another. No need to consider 13C-13C coupling except for enrichment studies! Heteronuclear coupling between 13C and the 1H atoms attached to them is observed (1H abundance ~99%). Because the 1H atoms are directly attached, the coupling constants (1J)are large, typically 100-250 Hz. When such spectra are observed, they are referred to as proton coupled spectra (or non-decoupled spectra).
