Modern Analytical Techniques II

Splitting, integration and the reference standard

  • 3 things to know
  • Papers 2 and 3

Overview

Recall questions on the n plus one rule, on reading an integration trace, on the deuterium exchange for OH and NH, and on why TMS is used as the standard.

Process

What does each feature of a proton NMR spectrum tell you?

Numbers

State the n+1 rule used in proton NMR spectroscopy.

Key term

What causes peaks in proton NMR to split into multiplets?

Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What causes peaks in proton NMR to split into multiplets?

    Model answer

    Spin-spin coupling between adjacent non-equivalent protons causes peaks to split into multiplets.

  2. 2

    State the n+1 rule used in proton NMR spectroscopy.

    Model answer

    A proton with n equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons will have its peak split into n+1 lines.

  3. 3

    How many equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons does a singlet indicate in proton NMR?

    Model answer

    Zero equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons.

  4. 4

    What splitting pattern is observed when a proton has one equivalent neighbouring proton on an adjacent carbon?

    Model answer

    A doublet.

  5. 5

    How many equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons produce a triplet in proton NMR?

    Model answer

    Two equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons.

  6. 6

    What splitting pattern indicates three equivalent neighbouring protons on adjacent carbons?

    Model answer

    A quartet.
