23
Q

resolution

A

ability to distinguish between 2 points

24
Q

what happens to the resolution as you increase the spec. frequency?

A

[increase in spec. frequency = increase in strength of magnet]

increases resolution

25
Q

advantage of using stronger magnet

A

higher resolution

greater sensitivity (can use less sample)

26
Q

diamagnetism

A

when e- placed in magnetic field, they will circulate -> generates electric current -> induces magnetic field

induced magnetic field opposes applied magnetic field (opposing directions)

27
Q

intramolecular factors that affect chemical shift

A

inductive effects

anisotropy

resonance

Van der Waals forces

isotope effects

28
Q

intermolecular factors that affect chemical shift

A

temperature

hydrogen bonds

solvent

29
Q

inductive effects

A

EWG remove e- density = deshielding = higher frequency

30
Q

isotropic effect

A

sub. with heavier isotope, NMR = lower frequency

exerts influence on all spatial directions

31
Q

anisotropic effect

A

exerts influence non-uniformly (has direction)

i.e. local magnetic fields induced by e- in particular parts of molecule

32
Q

chemical shift equivalent

A

when 2 protons are interchangeable by rapid process or symmetry operation

33
Q

symmetry operation

A

movement of an object so that new object is is indistinguishable from original

34
Q

homotopic

A

protons have identical chemical shift

35
Q

diastereotopic

A

protons are chemical shift INequivalent

any pair of protons next to chiral centre = diastereotopic

36
Q

what happens when the interchange of protons is rapid?

A

average of chemical shifts is taken

37
Q

resolving peaks

A

peaks are resolved as long as the rate of rotation is </= to rate of introversion

38
Q

why does coupling arise?

A

interaction of nuclear spins with electronic spins in the bond

39
Q

what can isolate a spin system?

A

heteroatom or quaternary carbon

40
Q

geminal

A

same carbon

41
Q

vicinal

A

on adjacent carbons

42
Q

long range

A

more than 4 bonds apart

43
Q

does strong coupling result in a small or large J value?

A

large J value

44
Q

what does the magnitude of J depend on?

A

geometry - e.g. cis/trans

no. of bonds - increase no. of bonds = decrease strength of coupling

heteroatoms

angle strain

bond strength

hybridisation

45
Q

first order splitting pattern

A

follows Pascal’s triangle

46
Q

STICK DIAGRAMS - when are the intensities all the same?

A

when I > 1/2

47
Q

second order

A

[occurs when δ is similar - ROOFING is observed]

diastereotopic protons

alkene systems with similar sub.

para sub. benzene

48
Q

when are 2 nuclei magnetically equivalent?

A

chemical shift is equivalent + coupled equally to other nuclei in spin system

49
Q

magnetic equivalence

A

2 nuclei have identical coupling with the same identical partner(s)

50
Q

coupling to protons on heteroatoms - OXYGEN

A

doesn’t generally occur

due to rapid proton exchange with H2O or impurities

51
Q

coupling to protons on heteroatoms - NITROGEN/AMINES

A

N has quadrupole moment (non-spherical charge distribution)

proton exchange = rapid (like OH)

52
Q

D2O shake

A

identifies OH, NH2 and amide protons

add + then rerun spectrum (peak disappears)

53
Q

satellites

A

coupling of protons to 13C (1.1% abundant) rather than other protons

54
Q

coupling to protons on heteroatoms - FLUORINE

A

19F = 1/2 I

100% abundant

large J values + long range

55
Q

2D NMR - COSY

A

coupling through bonds

56
Q

2D NMR NOESY

A
