• Protons and neutrons can be regarded as spinning about
their axis.
• In many atoms these spins are paired against each other
and so the nucleus has no overall spin (e.g. 12C).
• In some atoms (e.g. 1H and 13C) the nucleus has an
overall spin.
• A nucleus that spins generates a magnetic
field.
• The direction of the magnetic field depends
which way the nucleus spins.

• Usually the two possible spin states of the nucleus have
the same amount of energy.
• However, in a magnetic field, the two spin states have
different energies.

•
The spectra are recorded on a scale known as the
chemical shift (), which is how much the field is shifted
from the field for TMS compared to the field for TMS.
 = Field for TMS - Field measured x 106
Field for TMS
• The  is a measure in parts per million (ppm) of how far the
magnetic field required for absorption is shifted away from
that for TMS.

 chemical shift (ppm)
• The  depends on what other atoms/groups are near the H
– more electronegative groups gives a greater shift.

13C
NMR spectra are often simpler than 1H NMR spectra.
• They give a lot of valuable information about the chemical
environment of C atoms (e.g. the difference between C
atoms in C=O, C-N, CN, C-C, C=C, etc.).
• There is one signal for each set of equivalent C atoms.
• There is no coupling (unlike 1H NMR).
• The size of signal is not relative to the number of equivalent
C atoms (unlike H atoms in 1H NMR).
• As in 1H NMR, the chemical shift (d) is measured relative to
TMS.
• Although deuterated solvents are usually used, there will be
a signal for any C atoms in the solvent.
