Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance signals

This low level of the NMR-active isotope of carbon makes it more difficult to obtain a suitable carbon nuclear magnetic resonance ( C NMR) spectrum. For example, whereas it is usually possible to measure a NMR spectrum in a few minutes, it may take tens of minutes or even hours to accumulate enough data to produce a NMR spectrum in which the signal-to-noise ratio is high enough for the resonances due to the carbon atoms to be seen. Nonetheless, modern spectrometers and the sophisticated computers associated with them allow acquisition of the data necessary for a NMR spectrum on samples of 1-5 mg, which is about an order of magnitude greater than the amount needed for a NMR spectrum.

Example Isotopic enrichment is a standard means to enhance the response of an analyte in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Such measures gain importance if extremely low solubility is combined with a large number of carbons, as is often the case with [60]fullerene compounds. [19] The molecular ion signals, IVT, of Qo with natural isotopic abundance and of C-enriched Cgo are shown below (Fig. 3.11 for EI-MS of [60]fullerenes cf. Refs. [20-22]). From these mass spectra, the enrichment can be determined by use of Eq. 3.1. For Qo of natural isotopic abundance we obtain Mrceo = 60 x 12.0108 u = 720.65 u. Applying Eq. 

The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to polymer systems has contributed to significant advances in understanding of their structure and dynamical properties at the molecular level. From the analytical point of view, NMR spectroscopy is particularly suitable for a determination of the polymer structure by direct observation of the protons and carbons in different structural moieties. However, until the mid-1970s the application of this technique was limited to polymer solutions and to some elastomers in the solid state with a relatively high degree of the molecular mobility which allows the observation of the motionally narrowed absorption signals.
