A 900 MHz NMR instrument with a 21.1 T magnet at HWB-NMR, Birmingham, UK. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique based on re-orientation of atomic nuclei with non-zero nuclear spins in an external magnetic field.
NMR is extensively used in medicine in the form of magnetic resonance imaging. NMR is widely used in organic chemistry and industrially mainly for analysis of chemicals. The technique is also used to measure the ratio between water and fat in foods, monitor the flow of corrosive fluids in pipes, or to study molecular structures such as ...
In addition to chemical shift, NMR spectra allow structural assignments by virtue of spin–spin coupling (and integrated intensities). Because nuclei themselves possess a small magnetic field, they influence each other, changing the energy and hence frequency of nearby nuclei as they resonate—this is known as spin–spin coupling .
The difference between the chemical shift of a given nucleus in a diamagnetic vs. a paramagnetic environment is called the hyperfine shift.In solution the isotropic hyperfine chemical shift for nickelocene is −255 ppm, which is the difference between the observed shift (ca. −260 ppm) and the shift observed for a diamagnetic analogue ferrocene (ca. 5 ppm).
Solid-state 900 MHz (21.1 T [1]) NMR spectrometer at the Canadian National Ultrahigh-field NMR Facility for Solids. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) is a spectroscopy technique used to characterize atomic-level structure and dynamics in solid materials. ssNMR spectra are broader due to nuclear spin interactions which can be categorized as dipolar coupling, chemical shielding ...
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.
Electroanalytical methods measure the electric potential in volts and/or the electric current in amps in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These methods can be categorized according to which aspects of the cell are controlled and which are measured.
This usually involves measuring relaxation times such as T 1 and T 2 to determine order parameters, correlation times, and chemical exchange rates. NMR relaxation is a consequence of local fluctuating magnetic fields within a molecule. Local fluctuating magnetic fields are generated by molecular motions.
