relaxation modes: 1. spin lattice-relaxation (T1): through bond thermal energy transfer. Usually between a C-H bond (most impt here)
2. transferal-relaxation (spin-spin relaxation) (T2): through space energy transfer of spin information. Usually H H.
no signal if # spin +1/2 = # spin -1/2 (saturation)! nuclei (to avoid, nuclei must return to ground state between Rf pulses)

1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
1H NMR Pulse Sequence
• A short (µs), powerful rf pulse (B1) of frequency ν1 is applied along x axis • Tips M0 (bulk magnitization vector) into xy plane for all protons at the same time • The detector is in the xy plane, so the “angle of the pulse” is important • Has implications for 2D NMR and other experiments
1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
What Happens During the Pulse?
• Consider an M0 for three individual net magnetizations (e.g., 3 protons), each with their own Lamor frequency (ω) • The 90º pulse tips all into xy plane, but each proton precesses at its own ω relative to ν1. This can be slower or faster than ν1. • Resulting raw data known as the FID (free induction decay)

Signal to Noise
!f = frequency n = # scans
How To Increase Sensitivity/Signal
• use larger sample, increase conc. (increase # of spins, N)
• increase # of scans (ns)
• ↑B0 (increases ν)
1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Sample Preparation
• 5–40 mg typical → only µg needed for 1H NMR
• solvents: typically deuterated to avoid overlap with sample peaks - CCl4, CDCl3, C6D6, acetone-d6, DMSO-d6, CD2Cl2, CD3CN, etc. - CDCl3 has become the “standard” solvent
- single peak observed, - relatively far away from other peaks (δ 7.27 ppm)
- best solvents are those that are volatile and not very hygroscopic - No-D NMR, see: Hoye Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 953.
• standard: varies with nucleus of interest - for 1H and 13C: SiMe4 (TMS) = 0 ppm - solvent peak
Collecting Spectra
1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Interpretation of 1H NMR Spectra
important features:
chemical shift: describes position of the absorption (aka: peak, resonance) provides information on the chemical environment
integration: indicates how many protons are represented by each signal multiplicity: aka spin-spin splitting
indicates how many protons are on neighboring carbons
