Magnetic Resonance Flashcards
How does magnetic field strength change gap between spin states?
As B increases the energy gap increases
@ high B the frequency required is higher
What does magnetic momentum interact with?
Interacts with applied field to give resonance
orbit:
μs~l = γel
e- spin: μs~g0s = 2γes
nuclear spin (with spin angular momentum, uppercase i):
μN= γI
How does value of I change magnetic moment of a particle?
Non-zero spin quantum number I required to have a non-zero spin angular momentum I and therefore a magnetic moment μ
What are the Zeeman Eigenstates?
A single-spin (1/2) has 2 eigenstates of angular momentum on z-axis
ψ = |I,mI>
ψ+/- 1/2 = |1/2, +/- 1/2>
where + is α and - is β
where I (uppercase i) = spin angular momemntum qn
mI = spin proj q.n
What are the eigenstates of the Zeeman eigenstates?
Izψ = mI hbar ψ
Izψ1/2 = +1/2 hbar ψ1/2
Izψ-1/2 = -1/2 hbar ψ-1/2
What is the interaction energy between a field and a spin?
Classic:
E = -γ(hbar)mIB
QM:
H^onespin = -γB0I^z
H^onespinψ results in
Eα = -1/2 (hbar)γB0
Eβ = 1/2 (hbar)γB0
What is the resonance frequency from state α -> β?
ν = γB0/2π
What are allowed transitions between spin states?
ΔmI = +/- 1
What is the difference in population between α and β states?
Nβ/Nα = exp(-ΔE/kT) ~ 1 - ΔE/kT
ΔE small so can make approx, and population difference is minimal
Therefore insensitive technique
How does population difference of spin states effect sensitivity and how is it effected by field?
Net absorption depends on difference in population - therefore NMR insenstitive
Population diff inreases with B or γ, and decreasing temperature
What is the origin of shielding?
Orbiting e- creates magnetic fields which can oppose or reinforce B0
What is difference in energy and transition freq including shielding?
ΔE = hbar γB0 (1-σ)
v = B0γ(1-σ)/2π
What is lenz’ law?
ε = -N(ΔφB/Δt)
Induced emf gives rise to a current whose mag field opposes original change in flux (is why -ve)
where ε is emf, and the next part is change in flux
What is diamagnetic and paramagnetic shielding?
Diamagnetic - opposes B and so causes shielding, due to spherical charge distribution
Paramagnetic - can add to B so deshield, due to non-spherical charge distribution
What is the Lamb formula for diamagnetic shielding?
σd = (μ0e2/3me) ∫ rρ(r) dr
where ρ(r) is e- density
Assumes spherical elec distribution
What are some features of diamagnetic shielding?
Caused by spherically distributed ground state atom/molecules (from s orbitals)
Opposes B0
Proportional to e- density
1/r dependence
What are some features of paramagnetic shielding?
Caused by non-spherical distribution, from p and d e-
Augments B0 (is -ve)
Proportional to 1/ΔE and 1/r3
What is chemical shift?
Measure to relative inner standard (usually TMS)
δ = 106(σref - σ) = 106 (v-vref)/vref
Independent of B0
How does paramagnetic cause different shifts in TM complexes?
Paramagnetic shielding dominates, proportional to 1/ΔE
where ΔE is usually between t2g and eg
As stronger field ligands then smaller chemical shifts
What are some contributions to shielding other than dia/para?
Neighbouring group anisotropy
Ring current effects
Elec effects
Intermolecular interactions - H bonds, solvent interactions, etc.
H is e- poor and ΔE large so must consider these effects
What is anisotropy?
Property of being directionally dependent
Includes p,d, and f orbitals
Opposite is isotropy
What is magnetisation dependent on?
M = χ H
where M is magnetisation, H is magnetic field strength, χ is susceptibility
χ is directionally dependent so magnetisation is too
chemical shielding of nucleus hence depends on it too
What are neighbouring group contirbutions?
Occur due to currents induced in nearby groups of atoms
Effect is shield/deshield nucleus depending on geometry of group/nucleus
How is a point dipole different in each axis?
Bμy = 0
Bμz is where the spin is quantised
What is μpar and μper?
μpar is parallel to symm axis (z), and is larger
μper is perpendicular to symm axis (z)
How do ring currents cause shielding/deshielding?
What is the neighbouring group anisotropy in alkynes?
What is the neighbouring group anisotropy in alkenes?
Protons are deshielded
Above/below is shielded
What is the shielding that occurs due to ring currents from an aromatic ring?
Protons above/below ring shielded
Protons in plane of ring are deshielded
What are electric effects in chemcial shielding?
Charged/polar groups modify diamagnetic and/or paramagnetic currents by polarising local e- distributions and perturbation of ground and excisted state wavefn
What occurs to give splitting due to scalar spin-spin proton coupling?
What is the E difference between two spin-spin coupled atoms?
If two nuclei A and X
E = hJAXmAmX
where J is spin-spin coupling const (can be +ve or -ve)
What is the spin-spin coupling const proportional to?
J α γA γX
γ can be +ve/-ve, so J can be too
What is the splitting for A and X nulcei?
Weak coupling regime
How does J relate to Δv for two nuclei in different regimes?
Weak coupling: JAX «_space; |vx - vA|
Mag equivalent:
JAX > |vx - vA|
Strong coupling:
JAX >= |vx - vA|
What is chemical equivalence?
2x nuclei which are:
1. spins of same isotopic species
2. molec symm which exchanges two spins
What is magnetic equivalence?
Nuclei which are:
1. Chemically equivalent
AND one of
all coupling const of nucleus i and j with all other nuclei of molecule l (this is an L)
Jil (that is an L) = Jjl
OR
No other spins in the molecule
What are the eigenvalues and splitting in weak coupling limit?
Result is two doublets
