Introduction
• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy:
A spectroscopic technique that gives us
information about the number and types of atoms in a
molecule.
For example, about the number and types of
– Hydrogen atoms using 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
– Carbon atoms using 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
– Phosphorus atoms using 31P-NMR spectroscopy.
Basic Principle
• Every particle associated with spin and charge
can behaves as tiny bar magnet.
• In the presence of a strong magnetic field, the
tiny magnets due to spinning charged particles
aligns to be either with or against the external
magnetic field.
Nuclear Spin
• The nuclei of some atoms have a property called “SPIN”.
• Each spin-active nucleus has a number of spins defined by its
spin quantum number, I.

• More nucleons will be in the lower energy
state aligned with the magnetic field.
• A nucleon can absorb a quantum of energy in
the radio frequency range and align against
the magnetic field.
• It emits a radio frequency when it drops back
to its original position.

WHEN A SPIN-ACTIVE HYDROGEN ATOM IS
PLACED IN A STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD
….. IT BEGINS TO PRECESS
OPERATION OF AN NMR SPECTROMETER DEPENDS
ON THIS RESULT
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
• Resonance: In NMR spectroscopy, resonance is the
absorption of energy by a precessing nucleus and the
resulting “flip” of its nuclear spin from a lower energy
state to a higher energy state.
• The precessing spins induce an oscillating magnetic
field that is recorded as a signal by the instrument.
– Signal: A recording in an NMR spectrum of a nuclear
magnetic resonance.

DIAMAGNETIC ANISOTROPY
SHIELDING BY VALENCE ELECTRONS
Diamagnetic Anisotropy
The applied field
induces circulation
of the valence
electrons - this
generates a
magnetic field
that opposes the
applied field.

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.
CHEMICAL SHIFT
• To standardise measurements on different
NMR instruments, a standard reference
sample is used in each experiment. This is
tetramethylsilane (TMS).
This is a symmetrical and inert molecule. All H
atoms have the same chemical environment and a
single peak is produced from this molecule.
• The difference in energy needed to change the spin state in
the sample is compared to TMS and is called the CHEMICAL
SHIFT.
• The chemical shift of TMS is defined as zero
• The symbol d represents chemical shift and is measured in
ppm. The chemical shift scale is measured from right to left
on the spectrum.

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).

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 pi bond or pi system
greatly affects the chemical shift.
Benzene rings have the greatest effect.

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.

SPIN-SPIN SPLITTING
Often a group of hydrogens will appear as a multiplet
rather than as a single peak.
Multiplets are named as follows:
Singlet
Doublet
Triplet
Quartet
Quintet
Septet
Octet
Nonet
This happens because of interaction with neighboring
hydrogens and is called SPIN-SPIN SPLITTING.

rather there is a “triplet” and a “doublet”.

The coupling constant is the distance J (measured in Hz)
between the peaks in a multiplet.
J is a measure of the amount of interaction between the

APPLICATIONS
• GEOPHYSICAL: Used to determine the water
content in the geophysical samples.
• Engineering Applications: It is used to study the
Process engineering aspects like the kinetic and
equilibrium studies of Formaldehyde – water –
methanol systems.
• Non- destructive testing of DNA, proteins etc.
• This is very much useful in Data acquisition in
Petroleum Industry. Here NMR probes are
developed and Used.
MRI
• Magnetic resonance imaging, noninvasive
• “Nuclear” is omitted because of public’s fear
that it would be radioactive.
• Only protons in one plane can be in resonance
at one time.
• Computer puts together “slices” to get 3D.
• Tumors readily detected.
