NMR Spec
identifies C-H framework; uses radiation from radiofrequency region (radio waves); uses magnet which subjects sample to hig external magnetic field (Bext)
2 types of NMR spec
1H NMR (proton) and 13C NMR (carbon)
Proton NMR
determines number and type of H’s in a molecule
Carbon NMR
determines type of carbon atoms in a molecule
Source of NRG to excite
Radiation from radiowaves (long wave length, low frequency, and low NRG)
Changes nucleur spins of elements
NRG waves that interact with a molecule
2 variables characterize NMR
applied magnetic field and frequency of radiation used for resonance (v neded for rez and Bext are proportionally related)
Different isotopes
Different activity
what a nuclear spin generates (charged partices like protons spin on its axis)
small magnetic field
Spin up
alpha
Spin down
beta
2 different states of NRG for a proton
low and high
High NRG state
nucleus is aligned opposed to Bext
Low NRG State
nucleus is aligned in same direction as Bext
protons in different environments
absorb at diff frequencies and are distinguishable by NMR
Spin flip
when external NRG source (Hv) matches the NRG diff between these 2 states is applied, NRG will be absorbed causing molecules to spin flip from one orientation to another; nrg diff= low v radiation id radio region; nucleus is in resonance when it absorbs RF radiation and spin flips to a higher state
NMR tells you
number of peaks (signals), integration, location, and shape
number of peaks/signals
found from diff types of H in a molecule
integration
number of Hs in peak; will show as size ratio (integral); may show number at top or bottom
location
types of H the molecule has; tells you about neighboring environments; most EN or downfield is more left and farther away from EN then H+ will not be affected by Bext
shape
spin splitting pattern (neighboring environment or adjacent atoms); n+1: take # of adj H on next C and add 1
heterotopic/diastereotopic protons
chemically distinct protons (diff NMR)
Enantrotopic protons
distinct protons because theyre next to a stereocenter, are equivalent, and give off 1 NMR (diff NMR)
Homotopic proton
chemically equivalent protons (1 NMR)
