Part 10: Fundamentals of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Esquema de sección
-
Learning Goals: Understand the fundamentals of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and which common nuclei are NMR active. NMR frequency depends to large extent on which nucleus is being observed and to a small extent on the chemical environment of the nucleus. Number of signals in 1H NMR = distinct H environments in the molecule structure. Areas of signals (integrations) proportional to numbers of H in a particular (homotopic or enantiotopic) environment.
Reading: Soderberg sections on NMR, chemical inequivalence, NMR experiments, and chemical shift. If you want another perspective on NMR, you could try the NMR chapter of Reusch's online organic chemistry text.
