The spectrum

However, the general appearance of a spectrum can give us lots of basic information about the sample.

The properties of solid-state spectra are more sample-dependent than solution-state ones.

Questions on what is possible to say about a sample using solid-state NMR can usually only be answered with confidence once a spectrum has been obtained.

Multi-component systems

Inevitably, the question of quantification will arise!

EPSRC UK National Solid-state NMR Service at Durham

Multi-component systems – quantification of a mixture

Spectra should be recorded so that both components are at full intensity (fully relaxed). RD = 5×T1

T1r

“Spin-lattice relaxation in the rotating frame”

Where T1 is the relaxation in the intense static field, T1r is the relaxation in the magnetic field associated with an RF pulse

Different components may have different properties so we need to model the behaviour of the intensity as a function of contact to extract S0.

S0 = S (t = 0) is the intensity in the absence of relaxation – and is the value we need to compare intensities from different components.

Intensity vs. contact time

Equal intensity

Multi-component systems - quantification

The alternative is to ignore differences between the components and plot a calibration graph based on samples with known composition.

Another inevitability: what are the errors?

Multi-component systems - quantification

Only by replicating measurements can you have real confidence in the errors.

Broad – motion?

To be consistent with the NMR data, the proton must jump from N1 to N2. This is accompanied by a rotation of the tetrazole ring – interchanging N3 and N4 (and making the start and finish arrangement indistinguishable by X-ray)
