Proton NMR Flashcards

1
Q

Similarities between proton NMR and carbon 13 NMR

A

One signal for each set of equivalent H or C13 atoms

The closer the atom to a very electronegative atom and/or double bond the greater the chemical shift (to the left)

Q

Differences between proton NMR and carbon 13 NMR

A

Proton NMR has a relative area of signals related to relative number of H atoms whereas carbon has no link
In proton the signal is split by neighbouring H atoms on adjacent carbons whereas carbon 13 has no splitting

16
Q

what is the chemical used to calibrate the proton NMR spectrum

A

tetramethylsilane

TMS

17
Q

why is TMS used to calibrate proton NMR

A

its signal is far away from other signals
it only gives one signal
its non-toxic
it is inert
it has a low boiling point so easily removed

18
Q

how many signals for each equivalent set of H atoms it represents in proton NMR

A

1

19
Q

what is the intensity of each signal proportional to

A

the number of equivalent H atoms it represents

20
Q

what does the area of a HNMR peak represent

A

the same area represents the same overall number of H atoms

21
Q

equation for spin-spin coupling in HNMR

A

number of H’s next door + 1

22
Q

name of spin-spin coupling with one peak

A

singlet

23
Q

name of spin-spin coupling with two peaks

A

doublet

24
Q

name of spin-spin coupling with three peaks

A

triplet

25
Q

name of spin-spin coupling with four peaks

A

quartet

26
Q

name of spin-spin coupling with multiple peaks

A

multiplet

27
Q

exceptions to spin-spin coupling in HNMR

A

H’s that are equivalent

H’s that are on O’s

28
Q

what is the spectra recorded on the scale of HNMR

A

chemical shift

29
Q

what does the chemical shift mean in proton NMR

A

how much the field is shifted compared to the field of TMS

30
Q

equation for finding the chemical shift of a peak in HNMR

A

((field for TMS - field measured) / field for TMS) X 10^6

31
Q

units for chemical shift HNMR

A

parts per million

32
Q

what changes the chemical shift of a peak

A

the more electronegative groups around the H the greater the shift

33
