Nuclear magnetic resonance coupling effect

A nucleus under study by nuclear magnetic resonance techniques is affected by other nuclei in the same molecule. This phenomenon is known as spin-spin coupling. The effect arises (in adjacent nuclei) from the two electrons joining the nuclei in a covalent bond. Suppose the energy of states in which the electrons in the bond have opposing spins is lower than the state in which the electron spins are parallel. Then the AE between the two states (in this case a negative number) is called the coupling constant, J, expressed in frequency units, Hz. Internuclear...

There are many more solvent effects on spectroscopic quantities, that cannot be even briefly discussed here, and more specialized works on solvent effects should be consulted. These solvent effects include effects on the line shape and particularly line width of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals and their spin-spin coupling constants, solvent effects on electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra, on circular dichroism (CD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), on vibrational line shapes in both the infrared and the UV/visible spectral ranges, among others. 

The flame retardant mechanism of PC/ABS compositions using bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP) and zinc borate have been investigated (54). BDP affects the decomposition of PC/ABS and acts as a flame retardant in both the gas and the condensed phase. The pyrolysis was studied by thermogravimetry coupled with fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FUR) and nuclear magnetic-resonance spectroscopy. Zinc borate effects an additional hydrolysis of the PC and contributes to a borate network on the residue.
