2. THIS IS A VAST TOPIC AND A SHORT
OVERVIEW IS GIVEN
AND
IN NO WAY COMPLETE JUSTICE CAN BE
DONE FOR THIS
3. DEFINITION
NMR is a phenomenon exhibited by when
atomic nuclei in a static magnetic field absorbs
energy from radiofrequency field of certain
characteristic frequency.
It results to give a spectrum with frequency on x-
axis and intensity of absorption on y-axis.
4. NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY
Proton (1H) and carbon (13C) are the most important nuclear
spins to organic chemists
Nuclear spins are oriented randomly= absence (a) of an
external magnetic field.

6. INTRODUCTION
Nuclear magnetic resonance concern the magnetic properties of
certain atomic nuclei. It concerns the atoms having spin quantum
number.
12C nucleus is not magnetically active the spin number I being
zero. But 13C Have I = ½
13C account for only 1.1% of naturally occurring carbon 13C- 13C
coupling is negligible and not observed.
The gyromagnetic ratio of 13C is one-fourth of that of 1H.
Each nonequivalent 13C gives a different signal.
A 13C signal is split by the 1H bonded to it according to the (n + 1)
rule.
The most common mode of operation of a 13C-NMR spectrometer
is a hydrogen-decoupled mode.
7. PRINCIPLE & THEORY
The nuclear magnetic resonance occurs when nuclei aligned with
an applied field are induced to absorb energy and change their spin
orientation with respect to the applied field.
The energy absorption is a quantized process, and energy
absorbed must equal the energy difference between the two states
involved.
E absorbed = (E-1/2state- E+1/2state) =hv
The stronger the applied magnetic field, greater the energy
difference between the possible spin states.
ΔE = ∫(B0)
8. PRINCIPLE OF NMR
When energy in the form of radiofrequency is applied
When applied frequency is equal to precessional
frequency.
Absorption of energy occures
Nucleus is in resonance
NMR signal is recorded.

9. NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY
Many nuclei exhibit NMR phenomenon
All nuclei with odd number
of protons
All nuclei with odd number
of neutrons
Nuclei with even numbers
of both protons and neutrons
do not exhibit NMR
phenomenon
Table-1
10.
11. ABUNDANCE
13C is difficult to record because of
1. The most abundant isotope of carbon that is
12C (99.1%) is not detected by nmr because it
has an even no of protons and neutrons 12C is
nmr inactive.
2. Magnetic resonance of 13C is much weaker.
Moreover, gyromagnectic ratio of 13C being only
one fourth that of proton, so the resonance
frequency of 13C is one fourth that of proton nmr.
12.
13. Advantages of 13C- NMR over 1H- NMR
1. 13C- provides information about the backbone of
molecules rather than the periphery.
2. The chemical shifts range for 13C- NMR for most
organic compounds is 200 ppm compared to 10 –15
ppm for H, hence there is less overlap of peaks for
13C- NMR.
3. Homonuclear spin-spin coupling between carbon
atoms is not observed because the natural abundance
of 13C is too low for two 13C to be next to one
another.
Heteronuclear spin coupling between 13C and
12C does not occur because the spin quantum
number of 12C is zero.
4. There are a number of excellent methods for
decoupling the interaction between 13 C and 1H.
14. SPIN –SPIN SPLITTING OF 13C
SIGNALS
Splitting take place acc. to 2nI+1 rule
Where n= no. of nuclei
I=spin quantum number
CH3 = 3+1=4 quartet
CH2 = 2+1=3 triplet
CH = 1+1=2 doublet
C = 0+1=1 singlet
CDCl3 gives three peaks because its I=1 so acc. to 2nI+1
2×1×1+1=3 so it gives 1:1:1 peaks
Solvents used are CDCl3, DMSO, d6acetone, d6 benzene
15. 13C chemical shifts
The most significant factors affecting the chemical shifts are:
Electro negativity of the groups attached to the C
Hybridization of C
The intensity (size) of each peak is NOT directly related to the
number of that type of carbon. Other factors contribute to the size
of a peak:
Peaks from carbon atoms that have attached hydrogen atoms are bigger than
those that don’t have hydrogens attached.
Carbon chemical shifts are usually reported as downfield from the
carbon signal of tetramethylsilane (TMS).
16. Why Carbon-13 NMR required?
Carbon NMR can used to determine the number of non-equivalent
carbons and to identify the types of carbon atoms(methyl, methylene,
aromatic, carbonyl….) which may present in compound.
13C signals are spread over a much wider range than 1H signals making
it easier to identify & count individual nuclei.
17. WHY 13C NMR REQUIRED ??
Proton NMR used for study of number of nonequivalent
proton present in unknown compound.
Carbon NMR can used to determine the number of non-
equivalent carbons and to identify the types of carbon
atoms(methyl, methylene, aromatic, carbonyl….) which may
present in compound.
13C signals are spread over a much wider range than 1H
signals making it easier to identify & count individual nuclei.
18. CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF 13C NMR
• The chemical shift of the CMR is wider(δ is 0-220ppm relative
to TMS) in comparison to PMR(δ is 0-12ppm relative toTMS).
• 13C-13C coupling is negligible because of low natural
abundance of 13C in the compound. Thus in one type ofCMR
• spectrum(proton de coupled) each magnetically non equivalent
carbon gives a single sharp peak that does undergo further
splitting.
19. CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF 13C NMR
The area under the peak in CMR spectrum is not necessary
to be proportional to the number of carbon responsible for
the signal. Therefore not necessary to consider the area
under ratio.
Proton coupled spectra the signal for each carbon or a
group of magnetically equivalent carbon is split by proton
bonded directly to that carbon & the n+1 rule is follwed.
13C nucleus is about one-fourth the frequency required to
observe proton resonance.
The chemical shift is greater for 13C atom than for proton
due to direct attachment of the electronegative atom to 13C

20. 13C CHEMICAL SHIFTS
are measured in ppm (d) from the carbons of TMS
• The correlation chart is here divided into sections
1) the saturated carbon atom which appear at Upfield,nearest to TMS(8-
60ppm).
2) effect of electronegative atom(40-80ppm)
3) Alkenes and aromatic carbon atom(100-170)
4) It contain carbonyl carbon bond. which appear at Downfield value(155-
200ppm).

Symmetry duplicates give same line- if there are more
carbons in your spectrum – symmetry

29. CHEMICAL SHIFT
Carbon-13 chemical shifts are most affected by,
Hybridiasation state of carbon & Electronegative group attached to carbon.
36. 1H AND 13C NMR COMPARED
13C signals are spread over a much wider range than 1H
signals making it easier to identify and count individual
nuclei
Figure #1 shows the 1H NMR spectrum of 1-chloropentane;
Figure #2 shows the 13C spectrum. It is much easier to identify
the compound as 1-chloropentane by its 13C spectrum than
by its 1H spectrum.

43. PROBLEMS OF 13
C
• Natural abundance-

C natural abundance is very low (1.1%).
Gyro magnetic ratio-

C nucleus gyro magnetic ratio is much
lesser than proton nucleus. 13
C-1.404; 1
H-5.585.
Coupling phenomenon-

C & 1
H have I=1/2 so that coupling
between them probably occur.

44. PROBLEMS IN NMR CAN BE OVERCOME BY
Fourier Transform Technique-
Decoupling Technique-
1) Broad Band Decoupling
2) Off Resonance Decoupling
3) DEPT (Pulse) Decoupling
Nuclear Overhauser Phenomenon-
45. SIGNAL AVERAGING AND FT-NMR
Low abundance of 13C is overcome by signal averaging and
Fourier-transform NMR (FT-NMR)
Signal averaging
Numerous individual runs are added together and
averaged such that random background noise cancels to
zero and NMR signals are enhanced, substantially
increasing sensitivity.
46. SIGNAL AVERAGING AND FT-NMR
FT-NMR: (Pulse FT_NMR)
Sample is irradiated with entire range of useful frequencies
13C nuclei in the sample resonate at once giving complex,
composite signal that is mathematically manipulated by Fourier
transforms to segregate individual signals & convert them to
frequencies.
Advantages-
More sensitive-
Very fast-

• Irradiation of all 1H nuclei by using

• 1H nuclei are saturated & C nuclei see
zero coupling
Proton or Noise
Decoupling
• Provides multiplet information keeping the
spectrum simple.
• Coupling between C & H attached directly
to it

Decoupling
• Involves complex program of pulse &
delay times in C & H channel
• C atoms attached to varying no. of H
exhibit different phases
DEPT
50. PROTON OR BROADBAND DECOUPLING
a sample is irradiated with two different radiofrequencies.
,
These rapid transition decoupled any spin-spin interaction
between 1H & 13C nuclei.
Due to rapid change, all spin interactions are averaged to
zero.
Appear only 13C spectrum
Disadvantage.-information on attached H is lost.
Pavia, Lampman, Kriz, Vyvyan; Spectroscopy, Cengage Learning, India edition,
2007, Pg. no. 181
1-to excite all C
nuclei
2-to cause all protons
-rapid transition
53. Broad band decoupling
1. It avoid spin-spin splitting of 13C lines by 1H
nuclei.
2. In this, all the protons are simultaneously irradiated with a
broad band radiofrequency signal. Irradiation causes the protons to
become saturated and they undergo rapid upward downward
transition among all their possible spin state. This is produced by a
second coil located in the sample probe.
3. Without decoupling 13C spectra would show
complex overlapping multiplets that would be hard to
interpret.
4. The spin-spin information get lost, but
we can use off-resonance decoupling to get spin-spin
shifts back
54. 13C OFF-RESONANCE DECOUPLING
In this technique the 13C nuclei are split only by the protons
directly bonded to them as a result the multiplets become
narrow & not removed altogether as in fully decoupled
spectra.
It simplifies the spectrum by allowing some of the splitting
information to be retained.
The N + 1 rule applies: a carbon with N number of protons
gives a signal with N + 1 peaks.
P.S.Kalsi; Spectroscopy Of Organic Compounds, Sixth Edition:2004, Page no.-377
56. OFF-RESONANCE DECOUPLING
Off-Resonance decoupling simplifies the spectrum by
allowing some of the splitting information to be retained.
In this technique only the 13C nuclei are split by the protons
directly bounded to them and not by any other protons i.e.,
one observes only one bond coupling 13C -1H
The coupling between each carbon atom and each
hydrogen attached directly to it, s observed acc to n+1 rule.
Use of off-resonance decoupled spectra has been replaced
by use of DEPT 13C NMR
59. Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)
A. Under conditions of broad band decoupling it found that the area of the 13C
peaks are enhanced by a factor that is significantly greater than that which is
expected from the collapse of multiplets into single lines.
B. This is a manifestation of nuclear overhauser enhancement.
C. Arises from direct magnetic coupling between a decoupled proton and a
neighboring 13C nucleus that results in an increase in the population of the lower
energy state of the 13C nucleus than that predicted by the Boltzmann relation.
D. 13C signal may be enhanced by as much as a factor of 3 x
E. Disadvantage –
1. Lose the proportionality between peak areas and the number of nuclei of that
type of 13C.
60. NUCLEAR OVERHAUSER ENHANCEMENT
NOE effect for heteronuclear nuclei: when one of two different
types of atoms irradiated & NMR spectrum of other type is
determined they show change in absorption intensities of the
observed atom, enhancement occurred, is called nuclear
overhauser effect & the degree of increase in the signal is called
nuclear overhauser enhancement.
Effect can be either positive or negative.
in 13C interacting with 1H effect is positive.
NOE is enhancement of signals,it add in to original signal
strength.Pavia, Lampman, Kriz, Vyvyan; Spectroscopy, Cengage Learning, India edition,
2007, Pg. no. 180
61. THEORY OF NOE
Consider a hypothetical
molecule in which 2 protons
are in close proximity . In such
compound, if we double
irradiate Hb,then this proton
gets stimulated and the
stimulation is transferred
through space to the relaxation
mechanism of Ha.
C C
Ha Hb
61
Thus, due to increase in spin lattice relaxation
of Ha, its signal will appear more intense by 15
to 50%. So, if the intensity of absorption of Ha
signal is increased by double irradiating Hb,
then protons Ha and Hb must be in close
proximity in a molecule
62. The carbon-13 spectrum from CH3I.
The NMR spectrum from the carbon-13 nucleus will
yield one absorption peak in the spectrum.
If the hydrogen spin system is saturated, the four lines collapse into a
single line having an intensity which is eight times greater than the outer
peak in the 1:3:3:1 quartet since 1+3+3+1=8 .
Adding the nuclear spin from one hydrogen
will split the carbon-13 peak into two peaks.
Adding one more hydrogen will split each of
the two carbon-13 peaks into two, giving a
1:2:1 ratio.
The final hydrogen will split each of the previous
peaks, giving a 1:3:3:1 ratio.
In reality, we see a single line with a relative intensity of 24.
The Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)
62
63. Off-resonance decoupling
1. The coupling between each carbon atom and each hydrogen
attached directly to it, s observed acc to n+1 rule.
2. Apparent magnitude of the coupling constant is reduced and
overlap of the resulting multiplets is less frequent
3. Set decoupling frequency at 1000 to 2000 Hz above
the proton spectral region which leads to a partial
decoupled spectrum in which all but the largest spin spin
shifts are absent.
64. HYDROGEN DECOUPLED
MODE(BROAD BAND DECOUPLED)
A sample is irradiated with two different radio frequencies.
One to excite all 13C nuclei.
A second broad spectrum of frequencies to cause all
hydrogen's in the molecule to undergo rapid transitions
between their nuclear spin states.
On the time scale of a 13C-NMR spectrum, each hydrogen is in an
average or effectively constant nuclear spin state, with the result
that 1H-13C spin-spin interactions are not observed; they are
decoupled.
Thus, each different kind of carbon gives a single, unsplit peak.

72. COSY SPECTRUM
2D NMR spectra have two frequency axes and one intensity
The common 2D spectra are 1 H -1H shift correlations known
as COSY Spectrum.
COSY identifies pair of protons which are coupled to each
other.
The compound is identified using a contour plot
One dimensional counterpart of a given peak on the
diagonal lies directly below that peak on each axis
The presence of cross peak normally indicates protons
giving the connected resonance on the diagonal are
geminaly or vicinally coupled.
74. HECTOR SPECTRUM
2D-NMR spectra that displays 13C – 1H-NMR shift correlations are called HETCOR
spectra. It shows coupling between protons and the carbon to which they are
attached. The HETCOR spectrum of 1-chloro-2propanol is shown in the fig.
The 2-D spectrum is composed only of cross-peaks, each one relating carbon to its
directly bonded proton(s).
The methyl doublet of 1H-NMR spectrum appears at δ 1.2 when drawn cross-peak
and then dropped down to the 13C spectrum axis indicates that the 13C peak at δ 20
is produced by the methyl carbon of 1-chloro-2-propanol(C-3)
The 1H -NMR signal at δ 3.9 is due to CH-OH (C-2 proton) tracing out to the
correlation peak and down to the 13C spectrum shows the 13C NMR signal at 67
arises from the C-2 carbon of the compound i.e., the carbon carrying the hydroxyl
group.
The 1H-NMR peaks at δ 3.4-3.5 for the two protons on the carbon bearing the
chlorine, the interpretation leads us to the cross-peak and down to the 13C peak at δ

78. APPLICATIONS OF 13C NMR
CMR is a noninvasive and nondestructive
method,i.e,especially used in repetitive In-vivo analysis of
the sample without harming the tissues .
CMR, chemical shift range(0-240 ppm) is wider compared to
H-NMR(0-14 ppm), which permits easy separation and
identification of chemically closely related metabolites.
C-13 enrichment, which the signal intensities and helps in
tracing the cellular metabolism.
CMR technique is used for quantification of drugs purity to
determination of the composition of high molecular weight
synthetic polymers.
79. Application’s
• C-13 enrichment, which the signal intensities and helps in tracing
the cellular metabolism.
• C13 nuclei are a stable isotope and hence it is not subjected to
dangers related to radiotracers.
• .CMR technique is used for quantification of drug purity to
determination of the composition of high molecular weight
synthetic polymers.
