13.18 Carbon-13 NMR
12C is not NMR-active I = 0
however…. 13C does have spin, I = 1/2 (odd mass)
1. Natural abundance of 13C is small (1.08% of all C)
2. Magnetic moment of 13C is small
13C signals are 6000 times weaker than 1H because:
SALIENT FACTS ABOUT 13C NMR
PULSED FT-NMR IS REQUIRED
The chemical shift range is larger than for protons
0 - 220 ppm

13C decoupled
from the protons
in some cases
the peaks of the
multiplets will
overlap
this is an
