2. Coupling Constants
Geminal Coupling are usually negative: CH2
Vicinal coupling usually positive:
CH-CH
Why?
Coupling is through bonding electrons;
consider the following model
3. 2D NMR basically provides information about
connectivity and proximity
COSY spectroscopy (correlation spectroscopy)
(various pulse sequences are available
providing similar information)
11. 13
C NMR
Coupling is reduced, but multiplicity is retained; 1
H irradiation 1 ppm upfield from TMS;
to observe multiplicity at C-3, 1
H irradiation could be set to 10 ppm downfield from

31. NOE Difference Spectra
Some NOE operates through space as well as through bonding
electrons. The through space interaction decreases as the inverse of
the sixth power of the through space distance of the nuclei. The
through space interaction occurs between nuclei that interact by a
dipolar interaction
The NOE difference spectrum is obtained by subtracting a normal
spectrum from one in which a specific proton is irradiated. An
measurable interaction can be expected up to about 4Å.
