5. Spin-spin Coupling:-
• Spin-Spin coupling:- Also known as spin-spin splitting, It is a
phenomenon in which multiple peaks are obtained (multiplicity)
corresponding to the NMR signal of a group of chemically equivalent
protons.
• The multiplicity observed in 1
H NMR spectra is governed by the N+1 rule,
where N is total number of chemically equivalent protons on adjacent
(neighbouring) carbon atoms. Thus if a proton has one proton (n=1) on its
neighbouring carbon, its peak will be split into 1+1 = 2 peaks.

• The N+1 rule is actually a specialized application of a more general
formula to the proton system. The actual formula applicable to all
nuclei is 2nl+1, where l is the spin quantum number of the nucleus.
• In case of proton, l is ½, so the formula simplifies to N+1 is case of
proton NMR.
• Ex. CH3CH2OH give 3 peaks for CH3 and give 4 peak for CH2 but
give only 1 peak for OH because the H on –OH group doesn’t interact
with the H of Neighbouring carbon. This is due to the rapid exchange
of hydrogen atoms on the –OH group with water molecule or other
alcohol molecules.

Theory of Spin-spin splitting:-
• Spin-spin splitting arises because protons in a molecule can discern
each other’s presence nearby. If there are two Ha and Hb proton
present on two adjacent carbons, the Ha can sense the spin direction of
the proton Hb and vice versa.
• Pascal’s Triangle: it is a mathematical way of determining the
intensity ratios of component peaks of the multiplets derived by the
application of n+1 rule. The general formula of calculations in the
Pascal’s triangle is (a+b)n
where, ‘n’ represents the number of
equivalently coupled protons.

6. Coupling constant (J):-
• Coupling constant J is a measure of interaction between two
chemically inequivalent nuclei or sets of nuclei.
• Values of the coupling is indicative of how strongly, one nucleus is
affected by the spin state of another nucleus.
• Coupling constant is determines from the distance between the
individual peaks in a multiplet.
• Spacing between the component peaks of a multiplet is measured on
the frequency scale of the chemical shift and is always expressed in
Hertz (Hz)

Types of Coupling
• Geminal Coupling
• Vicinal Coupling
• Long Range Coupling

• Geminal Coupling:- It is the coupling between proton on the same
carbon atoms (geminal protons). Thus, it involves the protons of CH2
groups.
• In other words it is observed between the protons separated by two
bonds (two bond coupling 2
J) HA-C-HB.
• Coupling constant values are very high and ranges from 2
J=10-12 Hz.

Cont…
• Vicinal Coupling:- It is the coupling between proton on vicinal
(adjacent) carbon atoms. In other words it is observed between proton
separated by three bonds (three bonds coupling 3
J): HA-C-C-HB.
• Coupling constant value ranges from 3
J = 0-12 Hz.
• Long Range Coupling:- It refers to proton coupling extending
beyond three bonds 4
J or longer. It is extremely small( 1 Hz) but in
˂
rigid systems link alkenes, alkynes, aromatic and heteroatomic
compounds, small strained ring structures, it may become significant
to observed in the spectrum.

• Allylic coupling:- (HA-C-C=C-HB) J ranges from 1-3
Hz. Here, π-electrons of the double bond help in
transmitting the spin information from one nucleus to
the other.
• When the allylic C-H bond is aligned with the plane of
the C-C bond, maximum overlap of the σ orbital (of C-
H bond) occurs with the π orbital resulting in
maximum 4
J values of nearly 3Hz.
• Conversely when the two bonds are perpendicular,
minimum overlap is there and allylic coupling becomes
very small (≈0 Hz).
M. Pharm- Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis

Cont…
• Alkynes coupling:- Alkynes also show an interaction
between the σ orbital of the C-H bond with the π orbital
of alkyne system resulting in propargylic coupling.
This is a five-bond coupling but values are as high as 2-
3 Hz.
• This is because alkynes have one important difference
from the alkenes in having two perpendicular π orbitals.
• As a result, the C-H σ orbital can always have a partial
overlap with the π orbital of alkyne system thus,
creating a cylinder of electron density surrounding the
C-C inter-nuclear axis.

• Aromatic coupling:- Meta and para
couplings are 4
J and 5
J couplings
respectively ranging from 1-3 Hz and 0-1 Hz
respectively.
