Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy multiplets

The instructor or a laboratory assistant will record the NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture. Submit a sample vial containing the mixture for this spectroscopic determination. The spectrum will also contain integration of the important peaks (Technique 26, "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy"). Compare the integral of the downfield peaks of the alkyl halide multiplets. The relative heights of these integrals correspond to the relative amounts of each halide in the mixture.

A measurement method that is often used to determine the C-labeling of metabolites is 2D [ C. H] correlation nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (COSY). This method yields relative intensities of multiplets in the NMR spectra that correspond to the relative amounts of groups of isotopomers in which the observed atom is C-labeled and the adjacent carbon atoms in the carbon backbone are either C-labeled or not (Szyperski, 1995). If the compound of which the labeling pattern is measured was synthesized by a microorganism growing on a mixture of uniformly C-labeled and naturally labeled carbon substrate, then the relative intensities of NMR fine structures can be calculated from the fractions of molecules that stem from one or more substrate molecule(s) in the feed medium. This is done using so-called probability equations (Szyperski, 1995) that require as input the fraction of uniformly C-labeled medium substrate and the fraction of naturally C-labeled carbon. 

Before the advent of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, nuclear spins and moments were determined almost entirely by optical spectroscopy. When a hyperfine multiplet is observed with good resolution, the value of the nuclear spin / is obtained immediately from the multiplicity, provided that / < J. In practice, the resolution has proved to be adequate for the stable isotopes of odd Z, that are all odd-proton isotopes Tb, Ho and Tm (each 100% abundant) La,...

The new techniques of phosphorescence-microwave multiplet resonance spectroscopy with optical detection have been reviewed by El-Sayed and Kwiram Such exciting experiments as the optical detection on electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and of electron-electron double resonance (EEDOR) in zero magnetic field have been achieved, and it is certain that much detailed knowledge concerning the phosphorescent states will evolve from this field.
