1) NMR spectroscopy provides information about atomic nuclei by analyzing their magnetic properties when placed in a strong magnetic field. 2) For nuclei with spin 1/2 like 1H and 13C, NMR spectra show peaks representing different spin states that are split by spin-spin coupling with neighboring nuclei. 3) Nuclei with higher spin like 11B display more complex splitting patterns due to interactions between their multiple spin states and coupled nuclei.
