The // nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of phosphine dissolved in liquid ammonia shows a chemical shift of 5h = + 1.66 ppm (relative to (CH3)4Si)... 

If the unknown, neutral, oxygen-containing compound does not give the class reactions for aldehydes, ketones, esters and anhydrides, it is probably either an alcohol or an ether. Alcohols are readily identified by the intense characteristic hydroxyl adsorption which occurs as a broad band in the infrared spectrum at 3600-3300 cm-1 (O—H str.). In the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, the adsorption by the proton in the hydroxyl group gives rise to a broad peak the chemical shift of which is rather variable the peak disappears on deuteration. 

Physicists have long been aware of the power and usefulness of high-resolution solid-state NMR. Even prior to the development of cross-polarization, in the early to mid-seventies, it was clear that, by recording the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum when the sample was spun at the magic angle (5 M1) to the magnetic field, chemical shifts could be readily identified... 

The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of lomefloxacin mesylate obtained in D2O at 25° C is given in Figure 5 (9). The spectrum was obtained on a Bruker AM-500 NMR Spectrometer operating at 500.13 MHz and was referenced to external TSP [3-(trimethylsilyl)propionic-2,2,3,3-d4 acid]. The chemical shifts and spectral assignments are provided in Table 2 (9,10). The effect of increasing concentrations of Al3+ on the... 

Fig. 10. Calculated nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of two interacting spin 4 nuclei with a relative chemical shift 28 and a coupling strength J, plotted as a function of the deviation A of the frequency of the driving field from the average frequency of the two nuclei. The spectrum is symmetric around, 4 = 0 and only the positive half is shown. The spectra are for R = <7/8 = 1 and for several values of the exchange rate T = 1/rJ (Alexander, 1962).

Fio. 4. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum taken in CCU solution with benzene as internal standard at a radiofrequency of 25 megacycles. The chemical shifts are given in cycles per second. 

If one wishes to obtain a fluorine NMR spectrum, one must of course first have access to a spectrometer with a probe that will allow observation of fluorine nuclei. Fortunately, most modern high field NMR spectrometers that are available in industrial and academic research laboratories today have this capability. Probably the most common NMR spectrometers in use today for taking routine NMR spectra are 300 MHz instruments, which measure proton spectra at 300 MHz, carbon spectra at 75.5 MHz and fluorine spectra at 282 MHz. Before obtaining and attempting to interpret fluorine NMR spectra, it would be advisable to become familiar with some of the fundamental concepts related to fluorine chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants that are presented in this book. There is also a very nice introduction to fluorine NMR by W. S. and M. L. Brey in the Encyclopedia of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.1...
