Information contained in an

NMR spectrum includes:

1. Position (chemical shift) of the peaks – amount of shielding.

2. Intensities of signals – number of protons producing each signal.

3. Splitting pattern – number of neighboring protons.

4. Number of signals – different types of proton present in the molecule.

- - protons that have different protons that have different chemical shifts are chemically chemical shifts are chemically nonequivalent – exist in different nonequivalent – exist in different molecular environment.molecular environment.

2. CHEMICAL SHIFTS All protons present in a molecule don’t produce a single NMR signal. Protons in different chemical environments produce signal at different positions on the spectrum. For example, CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl produce a set of four signals, one for methyl and three for

methylene protons. The position of signal’s appearance on NMR spectrum is known as Chemical Shift.

1010

Measurement of Chemical Shift

Position of resonance signals are measured relative to (CH3)4Si, tetramethylsilane (TMS), used as a NMR reference substance or standard. All 12 protons of TMS produce a single sharp line on NMR spectrum.

1111

Resonance frequency of nuclei depends on the applied magnetic resonance frequency. In order to make the chemical shift values independent of the magnet strength, a ppm scale is introduced. This dimensionless chemical shift is represented by is defined as follows.

(ppm) = Spectrometer frequency (MHz)

1H NMR Spectra of O-H, N-H proton containing molecules

The chemical shift for O—H and N-H is variable ( 0.5-5 ppm) and depends on temperature and concentration.

Splitting of the O—H proton is sometimes observed, but often is not. It usually appears as a broad peak.

Adding D2O converts O—H to O—D. The O—H peak disappears.
