•ELECTRONEGATIVITY
•HYBRIDISATION
•HYDROGEN BONDING
•ANISOTROPIC

PROBLEMS
•RECORRDING OF CARBON NMR (CMR) NUCLEI IS
DIFFICULT DUE TO FOLLOWING REASONS:
•NATURAL ABUNDANCE
•GYROSCOPIC RATIO
•COUPLING PHENOMENA

 GYROSCOPIC RATIO
•VERY LOW 1%
 NATURAL ABUNDANCE

NMR
• .
13 𝐶 GIVES INFORMATION ABOUT THE BACKBONE OF
MOLECULES.
• .
13
𝐶 IS EASIER TO ANALYSE THAN .

𝐻 SPECTRA
BECAUSE THE SIGNALS WILL NOT SPLIT.

2D NMR
•SET OF NMR METHODS WHICH GIVE DATA PLOTTED IN A SPACE
DEFINED BY 2 FREQUENCY AXES.
•TYPES OF 2D NMR:
COSY(CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY)
EXSY(EXCHANGE SPECTROSCOPY)
NOESY (NUCLEAR OVER HAUSER EFFECT SPECTROSCOPY)
J-SPECTROSCOPY

CONTD.
•2D NMR PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT A
MOLECULE THAN 1D-NMR SPECTRA.
•USEFUL IN DETERMINING THE STRUCTURE OF A
MOLECULE, PARTICULARLY FOR MOLECULES THAT
ARE TOO COMPLICATED TO WORK WITH USING 1D-
NMR.

2D CONCEPT
• IT CONSISTS OF A SEQUENCE OF RADIOFREQUENCY PULSES WITH DELAY
PERIODS IN BETWEEN THEM.
• 2D NMR HAVE 4 STAGES/ PHASES:
PREPERTION PERIOD- MAGNETIASTION COHERENCE IS CREATED
THROUGH A SET OF RF PULSES.
EVOULTION PERIOD- DETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME DURING WHICH NO
PULSES ARE DELIVERED & NUCLEAR SPINS ARE ALLOWED TO FREELY
ROTATE.
MIXING PERIOD- THE COHERENCE MANIPULATED BY ANOTHER SERIES OF
PULSES TO GIVE AN OBSERVABLE SIGNAL.

CONTD.
DETECTION PERIOD- FREE INDUCTION DECAY SIGNAL FROM THE SAMPLE
IS OBSERVED
• THE 2DS OF A 2D-NMR ARE 2 FREQUENCY AXES REPRESENTING A CHEMICAL
SHIFT
EACH OF THE 2 FREQUENCY IS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE EVOLUTION TIME
THE DETECTION TIME
THEY ARE EACH CONVERTED FROM A TIME SERIES TO FREQUENCY SERIES
USING A FOURIER TRANSFORM.

CONTD.
• IN TWO DIMENSIONAL EXPERIMENTS, BOTH THE X & THE Y AXES HAVE CHEMICAL
SHIFT SCALES & THE 2D SPECTRA ARE PLOTTED AS A GRID LIKE A MAP.
• INFORMATION IS OBTAINED FROM THE SPECTRA BY LOOKING AT THE PEAKS IN THE
GRID & MATCHING THEM TO THE X AND Y AXES.
• COSY - CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY
• BOTH AXES CORRESPOND TO THE PROTON NMR SPECTRA.
• THE COSY SPECTRA INDICATES WHICH H ATOMS ARE COUPLING WITH EACH
OTHER.
• AN EXAMPLE OF A COSY IS PROVIDED BELOW.
• HETCOR - HETERONUCLEAR CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY
• PROTON NMR SPECTRA ON ONE AXIS AND THE 13C NMR SPECTRA ON THE OTHER.
• THE HETCOR SPECTRA MATCHES THE H TO THE APPROPRIATE C.

COSY SPECTRA
• THE INFORMATION ON THE H THAT ARE COUPLING WITH EACH OTHER IS
OBTAINED BY LOOKING AT THE PEAKS INSIDE THE GRID. THESE PEAKS ARE
USUALLY SHOWN IN A CONTOUR TYPE FORMAT, LIKE HEIGHT INTERVALS ON A
MAP.
• IN ORDER TO SEE WHERE THIS INFORMATION COMES FROM, LET'S CONSIDER
AN EXAMPLE SHOWN BELOW, THE COSY OF ETHYL 2-BUTENOATE

CONTD.

CONTD.
• FIRST LOOK AT THE PEAK MARKED A IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THIS
PEAK INDICATES A COUPLING INTERACTION BETWEEN THE H AT 6.9 PPM
AND THE H AT 1.8 PPM. THIS CORRESPONDS TO THE COUPLING OF THE
CH3 GROUP & THE ADJACENT H ON THE ALKENE.
• SIMILARLY, THE PEAK MARKED B INDICATES A COUPLING INTERACTION
BETWEEN THE H AT 4.15 PPM & THE H AT 1.25 PPM. THIS CORRESPONDS
TO THE COUPLING OF THE CH2 & THE CH3 IN THE ETHYL GROUP.
• NOTICE THAT THERE ARE A SECOND SET OF EQUIVALENT PEAKS, ALSO
MARKED A & BON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIAGONAL.

HECTOR SPECTRA
•THE INFORMATION ON HOW THE H ARE C ARE MATCHED
IS OBTAINED BY LOOKING AT THE PEAKS INSIDE THE
GRID. AGAIN, THESE PEAKS ARE USUALLY SHOWN IN A
CONTOUR TYPE FORMAT, LIKE HEIGHT INTERVALS ON A
MAP.
•IN ORDER TO SEE WHERE THIS INFORMATION COMES
FROM, LET'S CONSIDER AN EXAMPLE SHOWN BELOW, THE
HETCOR OF ETHYL 2-BUTENOATE.

CONTD.

CONTD.
• FIRST LOOK AT THE PEAK MARKED A NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE GRID. THIS
PEAK INDICATES THAT THE H AT 4.1 PPM IS ATTACHED TO THE C AT 60
PPM. THIS CORRESPONDS TO THE -OCH2- GROUP.
• SIMILARLY, THE PEAK MARKED B TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT IN THE GRID
INDICATES THAT THE H AT 1.85 PPM IS ATTACHED TO THE C AT17 PPM. SINCE
THE H IS A SINGLET, WE KNOW THAT THIS CORRESPONDS TO THE CH3- GROUP
ATTACHED TO THE CARBONYL IN THE ACID PART OF THE ESTER AND NOT THE
CH3- GROUP ATTACHED TO THE -CH2- IN THE ALCOHOL PART OF THE ESTER.
• NOTICE THAT THE CARBONYL GROUP FROM THE ESTER HAS NO "MATCH"
SINCE IT HAS NO H ATTACHED IN THIS EXAMPLE.

NUCLEAR OVER HAUSER
ENHANCEMENT
•NEARBY ATOMS UNDERGO CROSS RELATION.
•NOE CROSS RELAXATION BETWEEN NUCLEAR SPINS
DURING MIXING PERIOD IS USED TO ESTABLISH THE
CORRELATIONS.
•SPECTRUM OBTAINED IS SIMILAR TO COSY WITH
DIAGONAL PEAKS & CROSS PEAKS.

CONTD.
•ALSO CONTAIN EXTRA AXIAL PEAKS WHICH DON’T PROVIDE EXTRA
INFORMATION & CAN BE ELIMINATED THEM BY REVERSING THE
PHASE OF THE FIRST PULSE.
•USED IN STUDY OF LARGE BIOMOLECULES SUCH AS IN PROTEIN
NMR.
•IMPORTANT TOOL TO IDENTIFY STEREOCHEMISTRY OF A
MOLECULE IN SOLVENT.
•USEFUL IN DETERMINING WHICH SIGNALS ARISE FROM PROTONS
THAT ARE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER IN SPACE EVEN IF THEY ARE
NOT BONDED.
