Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Q&A Guide

This document provides a sample question and answer scheme for a past year exam question on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. It discusses the uses of deuterated solvents in NMR spectroscopy, including eliminating normal overwhelming signals, locking the frequency of the spectrometer, sharpening up signals, and avoiding solvent overlapping. It also lists the main components of an NMR spectrometer: the magnet, probe-head, transmitter, receiver, and computer.

QUESTION

CHAPTER 9 – NUCLEAR
MAGNETIC RESONANCE
SPECTROSCOPY
DECEMBER 2019
DECEMBER 2018

- Can eliminate the normal overwhelming signal (non-deuterated solvents will easily
overshadow any signals from the sample)
- To lock frequency of the spectrometer (In polysaccharide, the deuterated solvent
can exchange the protons of the OH-groups with deuterium, making the spectra's a
lot easier to interpret)
- Sharpen up the signals and allow larger to be studied
- To avoid swampling by the solvent overlapping

Magnet – Cryamoganets capable of a frequency up to 900 MHz in protons


Probe-head – Where the sample inserted
Transmitter – Radiofrequency (RF) generator and frequency synthesizer. Also capable
as pulse production
Receiver – RF voltage proportional to the transverse magnetization
Computer – Digitizes the information and Fourier transform it to readable data
