Nuclear magnetic resonance 
spectroscopy 
• Def. :-known as NMR spectroscopy, is a 
research technique that exploits the 
magnetic properties of certain a certain 
atomic nuclei. 
• . It determines the physical and chemical 
properties of atoms in which they are 
contained.
•Basic NMR techniques:- 
1-The NMR sample is prepared in a 
thin-walled glass tube - a NMR tube. 
2-When placed in a magnetic field, 
NMR active nuclei (such as 1H 
or 13C) absorb electromagnetic 
radiation .
• Now we have to answer an important 
question, on which phenomenon it relies ? 
• As an answer for this question we will ay it 
depends on nuclear magnetic resonance. 
• Importance :- 
1-Can provide detailed information about the 
structure, dynamics, reaction state, and 
chemical environment of molecules. 
2-is used by chemists and biochemists to 
investigate the properties of organic 
molecules at a frequency characteristic of 
the isotope.
•Now it is time to talk about the chemical 
shift. 
• What is chemical shift? 
•Chemical shift:-is the resonant frequency of a 
nucleus relative to a standard, this standard 
is often tetramethylsilane, Si(CH3)4, 
abbreviated TMS.
Example of the chemical shift: 
• NMR spectrum of hexaborane 
B6H10 showing peaks shifted in 
frequency, which give clues as to the 
molecular structure. 
• Importance :-The chemical shift provides 
information about the structure of the 
molecule.
• Do you remember spin-spin coupling? 
• It a special type of it. This coupling arises 
from the interaction of different spin states 
through the chemical bonds of a molecule 
and results in the splitting of NMR signals. 
• Importance:-it provides detailed insight 
into the connectivity of atoms in a 
molecule.
NMR analysis applications 
1-Chemical structure analysis of liquids and 
dissolved solids 
2-Deformulation of products 
3-Quantification of mixture components
NMR analysis capabilities : 
1- Quantitative NMR Analysis (qNMR) 
2-solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 
3-Solution State NMR 
4-NMR Chemical Composition 
5-Elucidation
.NMR analysis expertise 
laboratories provide clients analytical 
data regarding the type, quantity and 
arrangement of atoms in chemical 
systems, liquids and solids.
1-Quantitative NMR Analysis :- 
Intertie NMR laboratories 
provide qNMR (Quantitative 
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 
Spectroscopy) analysis 
applications such as quality 
control, drug impurity 
analysis, and metabonomics 
in agrochemicals, chemicals, 
plastics processing and the 
pharmaceutical industry
2-Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 
Solid state Nuclear Magnetic 
Resonance (NMR) is a 
specialized characterization 
technique used to determine 
chemical composition or 
structural properties in a 
variety of industrially relevant 
materials. Solid State NMR 
brings the benefits of solutions 
NMR (detailed chemical 
structural information without 
the need for standards
Determination of catalyst 
Heterogeneous catalysts used for 
chemical manufacture, petroleum 
processes, purification, and air 
separation 
Determine framework 
composition of zeolites and changes 
with activation or use 
Identify adsorbed species in 
porous materials 
Characterize key functionalities in 
insoluble residues
• Correlation spectroscopy:- 
• 
is one of several types of two-dimensional 
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 
spectroscopy .This type of NMR experiment is 
best known by its acronym . 
• Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy:- 
• A-proteins:-Much of the innovation within 
NMR spectroscopy has been within the field 
of protein NMR spectroscopy, an important 
technique in structural biology .
• B-Nuculeic acids :- 
• is the use of NMR spectroscopy to obtain 
information about the structure and 
dynamics of polynuculeic acid, such 
as DNA or RNA. 
• Note :-Nucleic acid and protein NMR 
spectroscopy are similar but differences exist. 
Nucleic acids have a smaller percentage of 
hydrogen atoms, which are the atoms usually 
observed in NMR spectroscopy.
