Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra discussion

The IR spectrum provides little information about the hydrocarbon part of the compound. However, this is exactly the information provided by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, discussed in Chapter 14. The combination of these two types of spectroscopy is of enormous value in organic chemistry. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies on meso-ionic l,2,4-triazol-3-ones (200) were used to examine their relationship to the alternative l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-imine structure (153). The effect of solvent polarity upon the ultraviolet spectrum of anhydro-3-hydroxy-1,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazolium hydroxide (200, R = = Ph, R = H) has been discussed... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra may be so simple as to have only a single absorption peak, but they also can be much more complex than the spectrum of Figure 9-23. However, it is important to recognize that no matter how complex an nmr spectrum appears to be, it involves just three parameters chemical shifts, spin-spin splittings, and kinetic (reaction-rate) processes. We shall have more to say about each of these later. First, let us try to establish the relationship of nmr spectroscopy to some of the other forms of spectroscopy we already have discussed in this chapter. 

This chapter begins with a discussion of electromagnetic radiation and spectroscopy in general. Then infrared spectroscopy is presented. We will learn how the functional groups that are present in a compound can be identified by examination of its infrared spectrum. In the next chapter, we will see how nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy complements infrared spectroscopy by pro-... 

As we shall see, each of these two terms, one for each nucleus, describes a second-rank scalar interaction between the electric field gradient at each nucleus and the nuclear quadrupole moment. De Santis, Lurio, Miller and Freund [44] included two other terms which involve the nuclear spins. One is the direct dipolar coupling of the 14N nuclear magnetic moments, an interaction which we discussed earlier in connection with the magnetic resonance spectrum of D2 its matrix elements were given in equation (8.33). The other is the nuclear spin-rotation interaction, also discussed in connection with H2 and its deuterium isotopes. It is represented by the term... 

In terms of the structural features that are probed with various analytical methods, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) may be looked upon as representing a middle ground between IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction methods. The former provides a measure of essentially molecular parameters, mainly the strengths of bonds as represented by characteristic frequencies, while the latter reflect the periodic nature of the structure of the solid. For polymorphs differences in molecular environment and/or molecular conformation may be reflected in changes in the IR spectrum. The differences in crystal structure that define a polymorphic system are clearly reflected in changes in the X-ray powder diffraction. Details on changes in molecular conformation or in molecular environment can only be determined from full crystal structure analyses as discussed in Section 4.4. 

An extremely sensitive technique able to detect the nature of radical pairs in a photochemical reaction is called chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP), which depends on the observation of an enhanced absorption in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of the sample, irradiated in situ, in the cavity of a NMR spectrometer. The background to and interpretation of CIDNP are discussed by Gilbert and Baggott (28). 

Table 2.1 summarizes the regions of the spectmm and the types of energy transitions observed there. Several of these regions, including the infrared, give vital information about the stmctures of organic molecules. Nuclear magnetic resonance, which occurs in the radiofrequency part of the spectrum, is discussed in Chapters 3,4,5,6 and 10 whereas ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy are described in Chapter 7. 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra. In contrast to the behavior of regular aromatic compounds, the HNMR solvent shifts for phthalazine and other heteroaromatic molecules showed no correlation with reactivity parameters for simple compounds.The NNMR spectrum of phthalazine has been discussed in the context of other diazine spectra.
