SPIN-SPIN SPLITTINGSPIN-SPIN SPLITTING

Often a group of hydrogens will appear as a multipletrather than as a single peak.

SPIN-SPIN SPLITTINGSPIN-SPIN SPLITTING

Multiplets are named as follows:

Singlet QuintetDoublet SeptetTriplet OctetQuartet Nonet

This happens because of interaction with neighboring hydrogens and is called SPIN-SPIN SPLITTING

1,1,2-Trichloroethane1,1,2-TrichloroethaneThe two kinds of hydrogens do not appear as single peaks,rather there is a “triplet” and a “doublet”.

The subpeaks are due tospin-spin splitting and are predicted by the n+1 rule.

THE COUPLING CONSTANTTHE COUPLING CONSTANT

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 two sets of hydrogens creating the multiplet.

NOTATION FOR COUPLING CONSTANTSNOTATION FOR COUPLING CONSTANTSThe most commonly encountered type of coupling is between hydrogens on adjacent carbon atoms.

C C

HH This is sometimes called vicinal coupling.It is designated 3J since three bondsintervene between the two hydrogens.

Another type of coupling that can also occur in special cases is

C H

H2J or geminal coupling

Geminal coupling does not occur whenthe two hydrogens are equivalent due torotations around the other two bonds.

( most often 2J = 0 )

3J

2J

Couplings larger than 2J or 3J also exist, but operate only in special situations.

Couplings larger than 3J (e.g., 4J, 5J, etc) are usually called “long-range coupling.”

CC

CH H

4J , for instance, occurs mainlywhen the hydrogens are forcedto adopt this “W” conformation(as in bicyclic compounds).

OVERVIEW

TYPES OF INFORMATION TYPES OF INFORMATION FROM THE NMR SPECTRUMFROM THE NMR SPECTRUM

1. Each different type of hydrogen gives a peak or group of peaks (multiplet).

3. The integral gives the relative numbers of each type of hydrogen.

2. The chemical shift (in ppm) gives a clue as to the type of hydrogen generating the peak (alkane, alkene, benzene, aldehyde, etc.)

4. Spin-spin splitting gives the number of hydrogens on adjacent carbons.

5. The coupling constant J also gives information about the arrangement of the atoms involved.

Generally, with only three pieces of data

1) empirical formula (or % composition)

2) infrared spectrum

3) NMR spectrum

a chemist can often figure out the completestructure of an unknown molecule.
