Information Content Available Using NMR

NMR spectroscopy can provide a wealth of information about the nature of solute molecules and solute-solvent interactions. At this point, it is best to highlight the simplest and most basic features present in typical solution state NMR spectra, especially those of 

Interferogram. A 2-D data matrix that has only undergone Fourier transformation along one axis to convert the time domain to the fj frequency domain. An interferogram will therefore show the frequency domain on one axis and the t, time domain on the other axis. 

frequency axis. The reference scale applied to the f, frequency domain. The f, axis may be labeled with either ppm or Hz. 

Integration. The measurement of the area of one or more resonances in a 1-D spectrum, or the measurement of the volume of a cross peak in a 2-D spectrum.
