1 H NMR BASICS

1 H NMR BASICS


Hydrogen NMR


There are three isotopes of hydrogen used in NMR spectroscopy: 
1Hydrogen, 2Deuterium and 3Tritium. Each isotope resonates at a 
very different frequency for example 
if 1H resonates at 400 MHz then 2H resonates at 61.402 MHz. 
Only one isotope is observed at a time
 because the spectrometer transmits and receives over a very limited frequency range. 
The chemical shift ranges for all three nuclei are virtually identical 
and can be used for preliminary analysis but there the similarity ends.
3Tritium is not commonly measured by NMR because it is radioactive.

Each type of signal has a characteristic chemical shift range (fig. 1)
 that can be used for initial assignment.

 R = alkyl or H, Ar = aryl.

1Hydrogen (Proton) NMR

The 1D 1H (Proton) NMR experiment is the most common NMR experiment.
The proton (1Hydrogen nucleus) is the most sensitive nucleus
apart from tritium) and usually yields sharp signals. Even though its chemical
 shift range is narrow, its sharp signals make proton NMR very useful.
A typical analysis of a 1H NMR spectrum may proceed as follows:
The number of protons of each type in the spectrum of a pure sample
can be obtained directly from the integrals of each multiplet.
This is only true if the multiplets are well separated and do not overlap the
solvent or residual water signals and provided that the molecule is
not undergoing slow conformational exchange.
A routine NMR spectrum yields integrals with an accuracy of +/-10%.
 Accuracies of +/-1% can be achieved by increasing the relaxation delay
 to five times the longitudinal relaxation time (T1) of the signals of interest.
Where multiplets overlap, the total integral of the spectral region may be used.
From the table of the proton chemical shifts one obtains information about
 each type of proton and can carry out a preliminary assignment.
Consider ethanol as an example (Fig. 2).
Using chemical shifts, the peak at 1.2 ppm is in the expected range for CH3
(methyl) and at 3.7 and 3.9 ppm are compatible with CH2 (methylene).
The chemical shift of OH is very dependent on solvent and other experimental
conditions so cannot be assigned by chemical shift alone.
Using integration, we expect CH3 to have an integral of three,
CH2 to have an integral of two and OH to have an integral of one.
This is the case and so the assignment is complete.

For other molecules this is not sufficient and the multiplet structure is needed to
complete the assignment. The multiplets (fig. 3) arise from spin-spin couplings
that are transmitted through chemical bonds and yield information
 about the immediate molecular environment.
 In the case of CH3 and OH, they are split by the two neighboring protons of the CH2
 to yield a triplet pattern called AX2. (Click here to see a list of common
 homonuclear splitting patterns and a description of heteronuclear coupling.)
The CH2 is split by the single OH proton and the three CH3 protons to form the AX3Y pattern.

spectrum of ethanol in CDCl3

Having determined the multiplicity, one may measure the coupling constants.
 These are measured in Hz (not ppm), as they are field independent.
If you find that two (and only two) multiplets contain the same coupling constant then
 you know that they arise from nearby protons. The coupling constant gives an
indication of the distance between the protons. In general 10 to 18 Hz means
two bond or three bond trans to a C=C double bond. Coupling constants between 1 to 10 Hz
 indicate three-bonds or more bonds if delocalized. Less than 1 Hz
usually means four or more bonds.
In addition to homonuclear couplings, the multiplets may be split by other nuclei such as 19Fluorine or 31Phosphorus. (If suchheteronuclear couplings are undesirable they may be decoupled.
The best pulse sequence in such a case is that for inverse gated decoupling.)

2Deuterium NMR

2Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) NMR is usually used for field frequency lock.
At natural abundance it has very low sensitivity but when enriched it is of
 medium sensitivity. Deuterium usually yields broad signals whose line width
typically varies between a few hertz and a few kilohertz.
 The spectrum has the same narrow chemical shift range as for  
1H but its low resolution and lower sensitivity make it a poor alternative.
Deuterium-deuterium couplings are about 40 times smaller that proton-proton
couplings and are therefore not observed.
 However, in partially deuterated molecules small proton-deuterium couplings can be obseved.
The main use of deuterium spectra is for determining the effectiveness of chemical deuteration (fig. 4).

3Tritium NMR

3T is the only nucleus more sensitive than proton
(1H). Being a spin-½ isotope of hydrogen, spectra of fully tritiated compounds
 look similar to 1H with effectively the same chemical shifts
 but with slightly higher sensitivity, dispersion and coupling constants. However,  
3T is very radioactive so most NMR studies are carried out with partially and specifically labeled compounds.
