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.
