Deuterated solvents are a group of compounds where one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted by deuterium atoms. These isotopologues of common solvents are often used in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy .
Deuterium NMR has a range of chemical shift similar to proton NMR but with poor resolution, due to the smaller magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the deuteron relative to the proton. It may be used to verify the effectiveness of deuteration: a deuterated compound will show a strong peak in 2 H NMR but not proton NMR.
13 C NMR Spectrum of DMSO-d 6. Pure deuterated DMSO shows no peaks in 1 H NMR spectroscopy and as a result is commonly used as an NMR solvent. [2] However commercially available samples are not 100% pure and a residual DMSO-d 5 1 H NMR signal is observed at 2.50ppm (quintet, J HD =1.9Hz). The 13 C chemical shift of DMSO-d 6 is 39.52ppm (septet ...
For 31 P NMR, the range is hundreds of ppm. [22] In paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy, the samples are paramagnetic, i.e. they contain unpaired electrons. The paramagnetism gives rise to very diverse chemical shifts. In 1 H NMR spectroscopy, the chemical shift range can span up to thousands of ppm. [23]
Historically, deuterated solvents were supplied with a small amount (typically 0.1%) of tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard for referencing the chemical shifts of each analyte proton. TMS is a tetrahedral molecule, with all protons being chemically equivalent, giving one single signal, used to define a chemical shift = 0 ppm.
Deuterated chloroform is a general purpose NMR solvent, as it is not very chemically reactive and unlikely to exchange its deuterium with its solute, [9] and its low boiling point allows for easy sample recovery. It, however, it is incompatible with strongly basic, nucleophilic, or reducing analytes, including many organometallic compounds.
Deuterium is often represented by the chemical symbol D. Since it is an isotope of hydrogen with mass number 2, it is also represented by 2 H. IUPAC allows both D and 2 H, though 2 H is preferred. [8] A distinct chemical symbol is used for convenience because of the isotope's common use in various scientific processes.
Deuterated methanol (CD 3 OD), is a form (called an isotopologue) of methanol (CH 3 OH) in which the hydrogen atoms ("H") are replaced with deuterium (heavy hydrogen) isotope ("D"). [1] Deuterated methanol is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy .
