6. Condition for NMR active nuclei
Case-1 magnetic moment (I)=0 , NMR Inactive
Case-2 magnetic moment (I)≠0, NMR active
Even/Even protons and neutrons
An even numbers of protons and an even number of neutrons containing nuclei have
I=0 so NMR Inactive. Example 12C, 16O and 32S
Others nuclei are NMR active i.e. Odd/Odd or Odd/Even & Even/Odd
Odd number of protons and an Odd number of neutrons I that are positive integers
Example : 2H (I=1), 14N(I=1) and 10B(I=3)
All other nuclei (odd/even and even/odd) have spins that are half integral so NMR active
Example : 1H(I=1/2), 11B(I=3/2), 13C(I=1/2), 17O (I=5/2), 19F(I=1/2) and 31P (I=1/2)

10. Proton and Carbon NMR
1H ( simple proton and COSY)
Simple 1H only proton signals
COSY 1H corelation among the protons
13C ( simple and DEPT-45,90,135)
Simple13C NMR( all Carbons with +ve)
DEPT-45 (only H attached carbon with all +ve ),
DEPT-90 ( only quarternary C)
DEPT-135( CH,CH2,CH3 : even with -ve, odd with +ve)

13. How to find multiplicity ?
(2nI+1) rule
Where, n = no of neighbouring protons and I= magnetic moment value
Case1, if I=1/2 Multiplicity rule =n+1
Case2, if I=1 Multiplicity rule =2n+1

19. Why deuterated solvents are used in NMR spectroscopy ?
To avoid swamping by the solvent signal.
• There is usually much more solvent than sample in an NMR tube. An ordinary proton-containing
solvent would give a huge solvent absorption that would dominate the 1H-NMR spectrum.
• Most 1H- NMR spectra are therefore recorded in a deuterated solvent, because deuterium atoms
absorb at a completely different frequency. But deuteration is never complete, so in CDCl3, for
example, there is always some residual CHCl3.
• You always get a solvent signal from CHCl3 at 7.26 ppm.
To stabilize the magnetic field strength.
• The field strength of superconducting magnets tends to drift slowly.
• Modern NMR spectrometers measure the deuterium absorption of the solvent and adjust the field
strength to keep the resonance frequency (field strength) constant.
To accurately define 0 ppm.
• The difference between the deuterium frequency and 0 ppm (TMS) is well known.
• Modern spectrometers can "lock" onto the deuterium signal, so the addition of an internal
reference like TMS is not usually required.

22. What is FID file?
NMR data is collected through pulse-observe procedure.
GED phenomenon
a. Generation of brief pulse of radio energy.
b. Excitation of NMR active nuclei
c. Decaying back to equilibrium by releasing radio energy.
Hence
The released energy is called a free induction decay or FID.
