  1. Chapter 19 NMR Spectroscopy

  2. Introduction... • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry is based on the measurement of absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency region of roughly 4 to 900MHz. In contrast to UV, IR and visible absorption, nuclei of atoms rather than outer electrons are involved in the process.

  3. In order to cause nuclei to develop the energy states required for absorption to occur, it is necessary to place the analyte in intense magnetic field.

  4. NMR spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available for elucidating the structure of chemical species. The technique is also useful for quantitative determination of absorption species

  5. History... • The theory of NMR was proposed by W. Pauli in 1924 who suggested that certain atomic nuclei should have the properties of spin and magnetic moment and that, as a consequence, exposure to a magnetic field would lead to the splitting of their energy levels.

  6. It was not until 1946, however, that Bloch at Stanford and Purcell at Harvard demonstrated that nuclei absorb magnetic radiation in a strong magnetic field as a consequence of energy level splitting that is induced by the magnetic field. The two physicists shared the Nobel Prize for the work.

  7. Theory of NMR... • To account for the properties of certain nuclei, we must assume that they rotate about an axis and thus have a property of spin. Nuclei with spin have an angular momentum, p. Furthermore, the maximum observable component of this angular momemtum is quantized and must be an integral or a half-integral multiple of h/2, where h is Planck constant.

  8. The maximum number of spin components or values for p for a particular nucleus is its spin quantum number 1. Th nucleus will then have 2I+1 discrete states. The component for angular momentum for these states in any chosen direction will have a value of I, I-1, I-2, …, -I. In absence of an external field, the various states have identical energies.

  9. The spinning charged nucleus creates a magnetic field that is analogous to the field produced when an electricity flows through a coil of wire. The resulting magnetic momemtum  is oriented along the axis of spin and is proportional to the angular momentum p.

  10. Thus,  =  p where:  is the proportionality constant and a magnetogyric ratio The relationship nuclear spin and magnetic moment leads to a set of observable magnetic quantum states m given by: M = I, I-1, I-2, …, -I

  11. Thus, the nuclei that we will consider will have two magnetic quantum numbers, m=+1/2 and m=-1/2.

  12. Types of NMR Spectra... • Wide Line Spectra • High Resolution Spectra

  13. Wide Line Spectra... • Wide line spectra are those in which the band width of the source of lines is large enough so that the fine structure due to chemical environment is observed. They are useful for quantitative determination of isotopes and for studies of the physical environment of the absorbing species. Wide line spectra are usually obtained in relatively low magnetic field strength.

  14. High Resolution Spectra... • Most NMR are high resolution and are capable of differentiating between very small frequency differences of 0.01ppm or less. For a given isotope such spectra usually exhibit several peaks resulting from the differences in their chemical environment.
