Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (proton NMR, hydrogen-1 NMR, or 1 H NMR) is the application of nuclear magnetic resonance in NMR spectroscopy with respect to hydrogen-1 nuclei within the molecules of a substance, in order to determine the structure of its molecules. [1]
Paramagnetism diminishes the resolution of an NMR spectrum to the extent that coupling is rarely resolved. Nonetheless spectra of paramagnetic compounds provide insight into the bonding and structure of the sample. For example, the broadening of signals is compensated in part by the wide chemical shift range (often 200 ppm in 1 H NMR).
While 1D NMR is more straightforward and ideal for identifying basic structural features, COSY enhances the capabilities of NMR by providing deeper insights into molecular connectivity. The two-dimensional spectrum that results from the COSY experiment shows the frequencies for a single isotope , most commonly hydrogen ( 1 H) along both axes.
Chemical shift δ is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) by frequency, because it is calculated from [5] =, where ν sample is the absolute resonance frequency of the sample, and ν ref is the absolute resonance frequency of a standard reference compound, measured in the same applied magnetic field B 0.
Because of the magnitude and severity of the problems with chemical shift referencing in biomolecular NMR, a number of computer programs have been developed to help mitigate the problem (see Table 1 for a summary). The first program to comprehensively tackle chemical shift mis-referencing in biomolecular NMR was SHIFTCOR. [2] Table 1.
In order to simplify the spectrum, 13 C NMR spectroscopy is most often run fully proton decoupled, meaning 1 H nuclei in the sample are broadly irradiated to fully decouple them from the 13 C nuclei being analyzed. This full proton decoupling eliminates all coupling with H atoms and thus splitting due to H atoms in natural isotopic abundance ...
Triple resonance experiments are a set of multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) experiments that link three types of atomic nuclei, most typically consisting of 1 H, 15 N and 13 C. These experiments are often used to assign specific resonance signals to specific atoms in an isotopically-enriched protein.
NMR spectroscopy uses the net spin of nuclei in a substance upon energy absorption to identify molecules. This has now become a standard spectroscopic tool within synthetic chemistry. One major use of NMR is to determine the bond connectivity within an organic molecule. NMR imaging also uses the net spin of nuclei (commonly protons) for imaging.
