Applications of NMR....
The ultimate use of NMR data
• ...to elucidate structures
– What is it? 1D/2D/nD
• ...to determine composition
– How complex is it? One vs. many
• ...to quantify
– How much of what is there?
– Relative composition
– Absolute content

• ns can be adjusted according to:
• Molar concentration
• Magnetic field strength
• Type of probe ( RT vs. Cryoprobe)
22
cenapt.pharm.uic.edu UIC
Example: Adjustment of NS
An 1H NMR spectrum was acquired with
• NS = 4 ( co-addition of 4 FIDs), and
• gave a S/N of 50 for the 1H resonance of
interest
Question how many scans (ns) should be
considered for a S/N of 250?
(S/N) ∝√ ns
(250 / 50)2 = 52 = 25
(S/N)2 ∝ ns
ns = 25 x 4 ≈ 100

– External Calibration Absolute Method (EC Abs-qHNMR)
– Combined External & Internal Calibration Absolute
Method (ECIC Abs-qHNMR)
• Required instrument validation and calibration
• qNMR beats (our) balances?!
– Uncalibrated Relative (100%) Method (Rel-qHNMR)
• No weighing involved, no weighing error
• Requires detailed interpretation of NMR data (education)

Free as in Beer!
• Price of quantitative conditions
in 1D 1H NMR (qHNMR): $0.00
– p90, D1, TD, etc. are a matter of
awareness, not cost
• HNMR is essentially already quantitative
ØAdjust parameters to run qHNMR routinely!
• Dynamic range
– Instrument time: 1H 5 min vs 2D/13C 5 hrs
– For ~1% level, need to detect 13C satellites
