Nuclear magnetic resonance signals chemical shift

To detect dynamic featnres of colloidal preparations, additional methods are required. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows a rapid, repeatable, and noninvasive measurement of the physical parameters of lipid matrices withont sample preparation (e.g., dilution of the probe) [26,27]. Decreased lipid mobility resnlts in a remarkable broadening of the signals of lipid protons, which allows the differentiation of SLN and supercooled melts. Because of the different chemical shifts, it is possible to attribute the nuclear magnetic resonance signal to particnlar molecnles or their segments. 

Chemical shift The relative shift of a nuclear magnetic resonance signal relative to a reference point as a result of the local chemical environment. 

Since nuclear magnetic resonance is a scalar probe, enantiotopic nuclei are isochronous (i.e. have the same chemical shift) in achiral media. Such nuclei, however, become diastereotopic in chiral media and thus, in principle (though often not in practice) anisochronous. Among many examples 26,27) are the enantiotopic methyl protons of dimethyl sulfoxide, CH3SOCH3, which are shifted with respect to each other by 0.02 ppm 26c) in solvent QH5CHOHCF3. (Surprisingly the 13C signals of the... 

H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of donepezil were registered with a Varian Gemini 200 spectrometer (200 MHz). Chemical shifts were expressed in parts per million (ppm) with respect to the tetra-methysilane signal for 1H and 13C NMR (Figs. 3.3 and 3.4, respectively).
