NMR Spectroscopy
Basic Principles
N.M.R. = Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopic technique, thus relies on the interaction between material and electromagnetic radiation
The nuclei of all atoms possess a nuclear quantum number, I. (I0, always multiples of .)
Only nuclei with spin number (I) >0 can absorb/emit electromagnetic radiation.
Even atomic mass & number: I = 0 (12C, 16O)
Even atomic mass & odd number: I = whole integer (14N, 2H, 10B)
Odd atomic mass: I = half integer (1H, 13C, 15N, 31P)
The spinning nuclei possess angular momentum, P, and charge, and so an associated magnetic moment, .
= x P
Where is the gyromagnetic ratio
NMR Spectroscopy
Basic Principles
B0
The spin states of the nucleus are quantified:
I, (I - 1), (I - 2), … , -I

NMR Spectroscopy
Basic Principles
In the ground state all nuclear spins are disordered, and
there is no energy difference between them. They are
degenerate.
Bo
Since they have a magnetic moment, when we apply a
strong external magnetic field (Bo), they orient either
against or with it:
There is always a small excess of nuclei (population
excess) aligned with the field than pointing against it.

NMR Spectroscopy
Basic Principles
Each level has a different population (N), and the difference between the two is related
to the energy difference by the Boltzmman distribution:
N/N = eE/kT
E for 1H at 400 MHz (B0 = 9.5 T) is 3.8 x 10-5 Kcal/mol
N/N =1.000064
The surplus population is small (especially when compared to UV or IR).
That renders NMR a rather insensitive technique!

The Chemical Shift
The NMR frequency of a nucleus in a molecule is mainly determined by its
gyromagnetic ratio and the strength of the magnetic field B
The exact value of depends, however, on the position of the nucleus in the molecule or
more precisely on the local electron distribution
this effect is called the chemical shift
NMR Spectroscopy
The Chemical Shift
E=h=hB/2
Nuclei, however, in molecules are never isolated from other particles that are charged
and are in motion (electrons!).
Thus, the field actually felt by a nucleus is slightly different from that of the applied
external magnetic field!!

Chemical Shift Anisotropy
Nuclear shielding, , is a tensor.
The distribution of the electrons about the nucleus is non-sperical- thus, the magnitude of the
shielding depends on the relative orientation of the nucleus with respect to the static field.
In isotropic cases: = (11 + 22 + 33)
In static cases, e.g. solid state

Sensitivity enhancement
NMR has poor sensitivity compared to other analytical techniques
The intrinsic sensitivity depends upon the gyromagnetic ratio, A greater contributes to:
a high resonant frequency- large transition energy difference- greater Boltzmann population difference
high magnetic moment and hence a stronger signal
high rate of precession which induces a greater signal in the detection coil
So, the strength of NMR signal is proportional to 3
Noise increases a square-root of observed frequency

Relaxation
When perturbed, the nuclear spins need to relax to return to their equilibrium distribution
E.g. when the sample is put into a magnet, the Boltzmann distribution of spins among the energy
levels changes due to a change in the energy of the various levels
E.g. after applying electromagnetic radiation, which induces transitions between energy levels,
the system returns to its equilibrium
This process is called relaxation

NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms
Nuclear spin relaxation is not a spontaneous process; it requires stimulation by
suitable fluctuating fields to induce the necessary spin transitions
Two main mechanisms
Dipole-dipole
Chemical shift anisotropy
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms
Longitudinal relaxation requires a time-dependent magnetic field fluctuating at the Larmor frequency
The time-dependence originates in the motions of the molecule (vibration, rotation, diffusion etc)
Molecules in solution “tumble”. This “tumbling” can be characterized by a rotational correlation time c
c is the time needed for the rms
deflection of the molecules to be ~ 1
radian (60°)
NMR Spectroscopy
Spectral density function
Rotational diffusion in solution occurs at a range of frequencies
1/c ~ rms rotational frequency (radians s-1)
The probability function of finding motions at a given angular frequency can be described by the
spectral density function J()
NMR Spectroscopy
Spectral density function
Frequency distribution of the fluctuating magnetic fields
NMR Spectroscopy
Spectral density function: Longitudinal relaxation
Spins are relaxed by local fields fluctuating at the Larmor frequency 0
So, the relaxation rate (R1) will be proportional to the J(0)
1/T1= R1 = 2 <B2> J(0)
Knowing the form of J() we can predict the dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1=1/
R1) on the correlation time c for a given NMR frequency 0
0c=1 ,J(0) = c= 1/0
and T1 is minimum (R1 maximum)
0c<<1 (small molecules), J(0) ~ 2c and T1
decreases (R1 increases) with increasing c
0c<<1
0c>>1
(e.g.by decreasing the temperature)
0c=1
0c>>1 (large molecules), J(0) ~ 2/02c
and T1 increases (R1 decreases) with
increasing c (e.g. by decreasing the
temperature)
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms: Dipole-dipole
Nuclei with non-zero quantum numbers have magnetic dipoles
They behave like small magnets and induce small magnetic fields that affect neighboring nuclei

e.g. KCH is 9000 Hz at 1.5 Å and 30 Hz at 10 Å
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms: Dipole-dipole
Splitting of the AX spectrum depends on In a crystal with fixed distances and angles the dipolar splitting vary with the crystal
orientation with respect to the external magnetic field
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms: Dipole-dipole
Molecules in liquids rotate, “tumble” rapidly with typical frequencies between 1012 to
108 Hz for small molecules and proteins, respectively.
Those frequencies are much larger than typical dipolar couplings (105 Hz)
The angular part of the dipolar splitting is averaged over all possible orientation to 0
Although they are not directly observed in solution, dipolar couplings play an important
role in spin relaxation
The local field experienced at one nucleus as a result of its neighbor will fluctuate as the
molecule tumbles
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms: Dipole-dipole
R1 depend of the gyromagnetic ratio of the nuclei (e.g. H-H relaxation more efficient than C-H)
NMR Spectroscopy
Relaxation mechanisms: Chemical shift anisotropy
The distribution of the electrons about the nucleus is non-sperical- thus, the magnitude of the
shielding depends on the relative orientation of the nucleus with respect to the static field.
As the molecule tumbles, it creates a fluctuating magnetic
field
NMR Spectroscopy
Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)
NOE: change in intensity of one resonance when the spin transitions of another are perturbed
from their equilibrium populations
perturbation: saturation or inversion

Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)
W1 tends to reduce the magnitude of the NOE
Saturating for a period of time that is long relative to the relaxation times allows a new
steady-state of populations to arise
IS, cross-relaxation rate: dictates the sign of the NOE
IS, dipolar longitudinal relaxation rate of spin I: it serves to reduce the magnitude
Thus, NOE is related to molecular motion!
