NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE MENU

The sections on C-13 NMR and proton NMR are written so that they are entirely independent of each other. Obviously I have no way of telling whether you need one of these or both - and if both, what order you need to do them in. That means that you will find quite a lot of duplication in the "Background" pages for both techniques.

If you have a choice, start with C-13 NMR. The spectra are a lot easier to interpret!

C-13 NMR

Background to C-13 NMR. . .

An explanation of how a C-13 NMR spectrum arises, and the meaning of the term "chemical shift".

Interpreting C-13 NMR spectra . . .

How a C-13 NMR spectrum gives you information about the structure of a molecule.

Proton NMR

Background to proton NMR. . .

An explanation of how a proton (¹H) NMR spectrum arises, and the meaning of the term "chemical shift".

Low resolution NMR spectra . . .

How a low resolution NMR spectrum is used to identify where the hydrogen atoms in a molecule are. Read this before you go on to high resolution spectra.

High resolution NMR spectra . . .

Looks at the additional information which you can get from a high resolution NMR spectrum.

Integrator traces . . .

How to find the ratio of the numbers of differently placed hydrogen atoms from an integrator trace.
