31Phosphorus NMR
The 1D 31Phosphorus NMR experiment is much less sensitive than Proton (1H) but more sensitive than 13Carbon. 31Phosphorus is a medium sensitivity nucleus that yields sharp lines (fig. 1) and has a wide chemical shift range. It is usually acquired with 1Hdecoupling (fig. 2) means that spin-spin couplings are seldom observed. This greatly simplifies the spectrum and makes it less crowded. Where there are one-bond 31P-1H couplings present then the decoupling power needs to be at lest twice that needed for 13C because of the large coupling constant.

Integration is inaccurate (almost useless when there is one-bond coupling to 1H) in a regular decoupled 31P NMR spectrum because of uneven NOE enhancement of the signals by decoupling and long longitudinal relaxation times (T1's). Quantitative spectra may be obtained by inverse gated decoupling.
Gated decoupling may be used in order to observe proton couplings (fig. 4). If coupling constants are required then a phosphorus coupled proton spectrum (fig. 5) is much more sensitive than the phosphorus spectrum although the reduced chemical shift range may cause overlapping that make analysis more difficult. One-bond couplings are typically 600 to 700 Hz, two-bond 20 to 30 Hz, three-bond 5 to 10 Hz and four-bond <1 Hz. Couplings may be observed with other nuclei such as 19Fluorine.

A typical analysis of a 31P NMR spectrum consists of matching expected chemical shifts to the expected moieties. Each type of signal has a characteristic chemical shift range (fig. 6).

Choose the structure that most closely represents the phosphorus in question. R = alkyl or H.
The heteronuclear coupling patterns between phosphorus and proton can be used to assign the proton spectrum (figs. 7, 8).
