SIGNAL GENERATION IN NMR

  

We know that a spin active nucleus behaves as a tiny magnet under the influence of a strong magnetic field. Such nuclei have an intrinsic property of arranging themselves in all possible spin states in the presence of a magnetic field. The possible spin states can be calculated from the spin quantum number.

PRINCIPLE OF NMR SPECTROSCOPY

 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique employed for various analytical purposes, especially structural characterization of organic compounds.

NMR deals with the behavior of nucleus under the influence of a strong magnetic field and absorption of radiofrequency. Not all nuclei can be studied in NMR.

HOW TO DRAW A COUPLING/SPLITTING TREE IN NMR?

  

Coupling tree is a pattern developed as a result of the splitting of signals in 1H-NMR due to spin-spin coupling. The tree tells us about the splitting pattern of the signal and also helps in calculation of the coupling constant.

HOW TO CALCULATE COUPLING CONSTANTS IN NMR?

 

The signals of protons, which have other magnetically inequivalent protons at geminal or vicinal positions are split because of spin-spin coupling between these neighboring protons. The splitting of the signal can be measured by calculating the coupling constant of the concerned signal. Coupling constant is a constant value, independent of the magnetic field strength and it mostly depends upon the extent of interaction between two proton systems. Denoted by “J”, the values of coupling constants are calculated in Hz.
