NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE
Properties of nucleus to give NMR signal:
All the nucleus their isotopes present in periodic table are not NMR active. For a nucleus to be NMR active it
should full fill/possess.
Non-zero Nuclear spin:
On the basis of spin number, nucleus can be divided into two types
Non-zero Nuclear Spin
Magnetic Nuclei Non-magnetic Nuclei

I 0 I=0
NMR active NMR inactive
Mass number of non-magnetic nuclei will be completely divisible by 4.
e.g. 16O, 12C, 32S
If not divisible by 4, then NMR active

To obtain a good quality NMR signal from magnetic nuclei
It should have good natural abundance and less quadrupole moment.
On the basis of these two factors, magnetic nuclei can be classified as

2 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
The NMR signal of non-quadrupole magnetic nuclei will be sharp
In case of qudrupole nuclei due to less relaxation time, the NMR signals will be broad and sometimes it will
not appear all.
(band width)
If more, less t relaxation time v constant

frequency (signal width)
t = more then v = less.

For quadrupolar nuclei t = very less. So, transition occurs so fast that signal becomes so broad.
If t = more i.e. relxation time is more then sharp signals.

Quadrupole enhances relaxation:

The signal width in NMR is associate with the relaxation time of nucleus with exclusion principle.
Presence of quadrupole moment creates fast relaxation of nucleus (less t ) resulting broad ............... of
NMR signals.

The nuclei having spin number more than i.e. I are known as Quadrupolar nuclei.
2 2
Recording of NMR spectrum for quadrupolar nuclei is always challenging.
Since, the quadrupolar moment of nucleus causes broadening of NMR signal.
The broadening of NMR signal is due to very less relaxation time t for quadrupolar nuclei
The quadrupolar nuclei having less quadrupole moment less broadening.

Quadrupole effect is only when there is gradient (concentration difference i.e. asymmetric electric field) in
electric field.
If symmetrical electric field no quadrupolar effect.
For example:
(i) The effect of quadrupolar broadening becomes negligible. If the nuclei is present in spherical electronic
environment.
(ii) 15N-NMR spectrum of NH3 shows broad (Quartet) signal due to axial electronic environment.
But 15N-NMR of NH +4 shows sharp signal.

In the absence of external magnetic field the nuclear spin energy level remain degenerate. As we apply the
external magnetic field the degeneracy of spin energy level get break. The nucleus which are aligned with
external magnetic field will remain in lower energy level and the nucleus apposing the ext. magnetic field will
be in higher spin energy level.
The distribution of nucleus into lower and higher energy level will be according to Botlzmann equation.

Figure : Splitting of nuclear spin energy levels in a magnetic field of strength B
The separation of energy levels E will be directly proportional to the applied magnetic field. The popu-
lation difference [number of nucleus in ground state and number of nucleus in excited state] between the
energy levels will be directly proportional to the applied magnetic field strength.
The NMR signal strength will be directly proportional to the population difference.
Apart from spin motion, the nucleus starts precessional motion due to external magnetic field, which is also
known as gyroscopic motion.
The frequency of gyroscopic motion will be known as pressional frequency.

For generating NMR signals we needs to apply radio frequency pulse perpendicular to direction of exter-
nal magnetic field.

In NMR the energy gap between spin energy level is lowest compared to other spectroscopy due to least
energy gap the (appr. 8 ppm/tesler)
Population difference is also very small but it is much sufficient to produce NMR signal.
Due to least energy gap the spin energy levels are very sensitive for saturation so we always apply the
radio-frequency in the form of pulse.
During pulse time spin transition will occur resulting the NMR signal and during pulse interval relaxation of
nuclear spin will happence to recreate the population difference.
A good quality NMR signal can be obtain as average signal of 15-50 pulses for H-NMR

SOLVED PROBLEMS

In NMR the sensivity of nucleus can be reflected as result of sample requirement and NMR recording time.
For high sensitive nucleus the sample requirement and NMR recording time will be higher
The two major factor decide the sensitivity of nucleus
(i) -Gyromagnetic
(ii) N.A. (natural abundance)
The nucleus having higher gyromag. ratio and higher N.A. are more sensitive.
If is higher then separation of energy level for Tesla mag. field will be high.

C = 10.705, 1.1% H = 42.57, 99.85%
resulting higher population difference, high number of possible transition and intense NMR signal.
Higher natural abundance of nuclei will provide high conc. of NMR active nuclei in the sample to produce
high instance signal.

The most sensitive NMR nuclei is proton [H] because it has maximum and almost 100% natural abun-
dance.
As a standard way we always report the sensitivity of NMR active nuclei with respect to proton and which
is known as relative sensitivity.
Nomenclature of NMR instrument:

Nomenclature of NMR instrument is on proton.
TMS = Tetramethyl Silane Proton = 400 MHz
The nomenclature of intrument as per standard system can be given according to precessional frequency of
TMS protons on that instrument.
400 MHz instrument means TMS protons resonate at 400 MHz precessional frequency on this instrument.
Problem: The operating frequency of NMR instrument is 500 MHz. Calculate the precessional frequency of
13
C, 31P, 19F on this instrument.
Soln. Operating frequency = 500 MHz for proton.

PF for 31P = 11.7 17.235 = 201 MHz
PF for 19F = 11.7 40.053 = 468 MHz
Now, maximum 900 MHz NMR instrument is available
Therefore, magnetic field is fixed. So, we cannot make instrument upto 1800 MHz.
Why magnetic field fixed
Therefore, maintaince is very high i.e. we have to pay for it.
Classical Magnet (Superconductivity): Large size magnet
After this discovery we can generate high magnetic field.
Liq. He

Superconductivity is not equal to zero. So, we have to maintain the heat treatment.
Problem: It is possible to create 900 MHz operating frequency instrument for proton but it is impossible to
generate 900 M Hz operating frequency for 13C. Why?
Soln. 900 MHz instrument PF = B
900 MHz
B 21 Tesla

For 13C generate magnetic field = ?
900 MHz
B 84 Tesla magnetic field
10.705
(But limit is only 25 Tesla)
To resonate a proton at 900 MHz, we need 21 Tesla magnetic field which is the maximum limit of magnetic field
present available and to resonate 13C at 900 MHz, we need 84T magnetic field is practically impossible to
create.
Sensitivity of nucleus for NMR :
The nucleus C give large signal peak i.e. more sensitive.
The sensitivity of nucleus means intensity of signal with respect to applied magnetic field.
High sensitive nucleus gives intense signal with less amount of magnetic field. Proton is maximum sensitive i.e.
lucky for scieintist.
The factors affecting sensitivity:
(1) Gyromagnetic ratio (2) Natural abundance
(1) Gyromagnetic ratio:
The nucleus having higher gyromagnetic ratio (r)
E = 42.57 MHz E = 10.7 MHz
1 13
H at 1 Tesla C at 1 Tesla
(Almost 1/4th of 1H)
High ratio, sensitivity more.

Since, energy gap more. Population gap = more, number of transitions = more.
More intense signal.
Have higher separation between spin energy have resulting the higher population difference.
As per Boltzmann equation:
Signal intensity population difference
i.e. Sensitivity Gyromagnetic ratio
(2) Natural Abundance:

The nuclear having higher natural abundance will be more sensitive.
For e.g. 1H natural aboundance = 99.987
Natural Abundance Relative Sensitivity

H 99.98% 42.576 1

C 1.1% 10.705 1.710

C nucleus is almost 400 times less sensitive than proton 1H nucleus.
Proton is the maximum sensitive nucleus. Since, it has maximum gyromag. ratio (r) and almost 100% natural
abundance thats why the name of NMR instrument will be according to the operating frequency of proton (1H).

ating frequency 500 MHz. Calculate the Gyromagnetic ratio for the nucleus.

What happens when sensitivity increased
Since, on increase instrument sensitivity the amount decreases.
For e.g. 100 MHz 600 MHz

If magnetic field = increases population difference increases sensitivity increases.
Therefore, on increasing sensitivity on increases
Magnetic field we get spectra is less time.
i.e. sample quantity less and required time for spectra decreases
600 MHz instrument is important for dilute nuclei. Its cost is so much high as compare to 100 MHz.
The sensitivity of dilute nucleus can be enhanced by increasing the magnetic field. Increases in sensitivity
means requirement of less amount of sample and less NMR recording time.
For e.g. At 100 MHz instrument 13C = one 13C
NMR takes 45 minutes and 600 MHz takes 1015 minutes.
For working on cancentrated nuclei 300 MHz instrument is sufficient but for dilute nuclei = 600 MHz.
