Elements with either odd mass or odd atomic number
have the property of nuclear “spin”.
The number of spin states is 2I + 1,
where I is the spin quantum number.

Spectrum of 1,2,2-trichloropropane
Chemical shift in Hz from TMS vary
according to frequency of spectrometer!
• Delta values (d) are independent of
frequency of spectrometer (ppm)
PEAKS ARE MEASURED RELATIVE TO TMS
Rather than measure the exact resonance position of a
peak, we measure how far downfield it is shifted from TMS.

Chemists originally
thought no other
compound would
come at a higher
field than TMS.
HIGHER FREQUENCIES GIVE LARGER SHIFTS
The shift observed for a given proton
in Hz also depends on the frequency
of the instrument used.
Higher frequencies
= larger shifts in Hz.

THE CHEMICAL SHIFT
The shifts from TMS in Hz are bigger in higher field
instruments (300 MHz, 500 MHz) than they are in the
lower field instruments (100 MHz, 60 MHz).
We can adjust the shift to a field-independent value,
the “chemical shift” in the following way:
parts per
million
chemical
=
shift
d
shift in Hz
= ppm
=
spectrometer frequency in MHz
This division gives a number independent
of the instrument used.
A particular proton in a given molecule will always come
at the same chemical shift (constant value).
1.6 The Chemical Shift
Generalizations
• electrons shield nucleus
• electronegativity: withdraws electrons to
deshield nucleus
• downfield (deshielding) = left side of
spectrum
• upfield (shielding) = right side of
spectrum
• delta values increase from right to left!
PROTONS DIFFER IN THEIR SHIELDING
All different types of protons in a molecule
have a different amounts of shielding.
They all respond differently to the applied magnetic
field and appear at different places in the spectrum.
This is why an NMR spectrum contains useful information
(different types of protons appear in predictable places).
DOWNFIELD
Less shielded protons
appear here.
SPECTRUM
UPFIELD
Highly shielded
protons appear here.
It takes a higher field
to cause resonance.

DESHIELDING AND ANISOTROPY
Three major factors account for the resonance
positions (on the ppm scale) of most protons.
1. Deshielding by electronegative elements.
2. Anisotropic fields usually due to pi-bonded
electrons in the molecule.
3. Deshielding due to hydrogen bonding.

Chlorine “deshields” the proton,
that is, it takes valence electron
density away from carbon, which
in turn takes more density from
hydrogen deshielding the proton.

ANISOTROPIC FIELDS
DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF PI BONDS
The presence of a nearby p bond
greatly affects the chemical shift.
Benzene rings have the greatest effect.

The chemical shift depends
on how much hydrogen bonding
is taking place.
Alcohols vary in chemical shift
from 0.5 ppm (free OH) to about
5.0 ppm (lots of H bonding).
R
Hydrogen bonding lengthens the
O-H bond and reduces the valence
electron density around the proton
- it is deshielded and shifted
downfield in the NMR spectrum.

In methyl salicylate, which has strong
internal hydrogen bonding, the NMR
absortion for O-H is at about 14 ppm,
way, way downfield.
Notice that a 6-membered ring is formed.
1.7 Integration
INTEGRATION OF A PEAK
Not only does each different type of hydrogen give a
distinct peak in the NMR spectrum, but we can also tell
the relative numbers of each type of hydrogen by a
process called integration.
Integration = determination of the area
under a peak
The area under a peak is proportional
to the number of protons that
generate the peak.
Benzyl Acetate
The integral line rises an amount proportional to the number of H in each peak
