7. Magnetic Moment of Proton
Spinning Proton (Charged)- Creates
Magnetic Field.
Hence, they are “Tiny Bar Magnets”
External Magnetic field (Ho/Bo), they align
against or toward this applied field.
𝜇 = 𝛾𝐼
ℎ
2𝜋
𝜇 is Magnetic Moment
𝛾 is gyromagnetic ratio.
I is spin quantum number.
h is planks constant
I=1/2 : charged, spinning spherical bodies
and give the best resolved spectra

Who can “Spin”?
P31, F19, N15, C13, H1
Because, Z and N should be odd in
number
Z = P + N
Nucleons
Protons
Neutrons
Low Energy, NS
High Energy, SN

9. Energy Gap and its importance 9

𝐻0
Energy difference corresponds to a frequency
More the magnetic field, more the energy gap
10. Resonance of the Proton
Axis of the spinning nuclei is not fixed in the magnetic field.
Hence, they Precess/ Wobble.

21. NMR Spectrum- Chemical Shift
Chemical Shift: Difference in parts per million between the resonance frequency of
the observed proton and TMS (Trimethyl silane) hydrogens.
TMS ppm is set to 0.
Shielding/ Deshielding of protons

Factors affecting the Chemical Shift:
1. Electronegativity
2. Magnetic Anisotrophy
3. Hydrogen Bonding

Electron density
Low

24. NMR Spectrum- Spin-Spin Coupling
Signals for different protons are split into
more than one
peak termed as Spin-Spin Coupling or
Splitting.
Spin-spin splitting occurs only between
nonequivalent protons on the same carbon
or adjacent carbons.
The frequency difference, measured in Hz
between two peaks of the doublet is called
the coupling constant, J
Multiplicity Rule
n+1 rule, where n is the number of
neighboring spin-coupled nuclei with the
same (or very similar) Js
24
25. NMR Spectrum- Interpretation
Number of signals: Indicates how many different kinds of
protons are present
Position of signals: Indicates Magnetic environment of the
signal
Relative Intensity: Proportional to number of protons present
Splitting: Indicates number of splitting Nuclei [Usually
Protons]

1D NMR
2D NMR: Data plotted in a space defined by
two frequency axes rather than one
