Q

what happens in spin resonance spec

A

compound is placed in a strong external magnetic field.

25
what nuclear spin value must a nucleus have in order to show energy differences in a magnetic field
I value aka nuclear spin value must be larger than 0 aka +1/2 which can form +1/2 and -1/2 in a magnetic field
26
what spin do protons, neutrons and electrons all have
1/2 spin 💞💞
27
6 neutrons and 6 protons give the nuclear spin quantum value of …. and why
I = 0 they pair up and their spins cancel out
28
in 13C there is an unpaired neutron (7 total) meaning it has a nuclear spin quantum number of … meaning it is a
I = 1/2 magnetically active nucleus —> gives rise to signals in NMR spectra.
29
what is unfortunate about 13 C
although it is magnetically active, the proportion of 13C compared to 12C is incredibly low (1.1%)
30
what is special about 2H deuterium
it has an unpaired proton : 1/2 it has an unpaired neutron : 1/2 together it has I = 1
31
🔺E in magnetic spec issss
the energy difference between the 2 split spins this gets bigger when u increase the strength of the magnetic field.
32
what is the boltzmann distribution equation
N upper/ n lower = g up / g low x e ^( -🔺E / Kb x Temp) E is in J, Kb is in J, temp is in K
33
when the ratio between n up and n low is near 1 what does this mean
the population of the two energy levels is almost the same. this means the probability of observing a transition is low. sensitive equipment is needed to see this.
34
against the magnetic field
high energy
35
with the external magnetic field
lowest energy
36
what does quantum theory show about the nuclear spins
they can only align with the external magnetic field at certain, quantum angles. eg imagine a spinning door, u cannot pass through whenever, u need to wait till it’s at a good angle. think of a group of friends being split into single ppl and walking through the door at the right angle needed
37
larmor frequency
the nuclear spin precesses around the direction of the magnetic field. frequency of this precession is the lamour frequency. spinner spinning shoulder to shoulder to magnetic field 🩰⬆️
38
what happens when the EMS matches the lamor frequency
the nucleus comes into resonance with the EMS And absorbs energy this promotes the nucleus to a higher energy spin state. when energy is removed, it relaxes back to its original state and releases energy into the solvent.
39
how is nmr spectra recorded
sample is placed in a tube in a strong magnetic field. solvent is used to dissolve sample but this doesn’t give an NMR signal (no unpaired nuc or electrons?) EMS radiation irridates it and excites some nuclei to a higher energy state. energy given out when the nuclei returns to the ground state is detected on a sensitive radio frequency receiver.
40
equation for the energy difference between 2 spin states of I = 1/2
🔺E = yBh/ 2🥧 change in energy J = ( magnetogyric ratio x strength of mag field x planks) /// 2 🥧
41
relaxation time depends on
environment of the nucleus. gives good info time it takes for excited nucleus to return to ground state.
42
y (magnetogyric ratio) is different in what
different to diff nuclei
43
what does a different y (magnetogyric ratio) mean in terms of 🔺E
🔺E depends on what nucleus it is as the magentogyric ratio is different for each nuclei.
44
the larger the mag field, the larger the 🔺E between diff spin states meaningggg
higher EMS energy is needed to promote a transition.
45
magnet in NMR spec is usually described as an
operating frequency frequency of the radiation required to bring a 1H nucleus to resonance when it experiences the full applied magnetic field.
46
absorbed radiation of a nuclei is given by the energy difference between two energy spin states why is this
EMS can only be absorbed if it matches the energy difference between the 2 levels
47
the energy absorbed = the energy gap between the two levels meaning….
energy gap between 2 molecules = 🔺E
48
🔺E question for NMR
🔺E = yBh/ 2🥧
49
energy difference between the 2 spin states of a nucleus depends on
precise local environment of the nucleus
50
the mole of nuclei in the 1H atom all experience and therefore absorb energy at different frequencies, why is this
they are all in slightly different environments the energy absorbed is influenced by neighbouring atoms (not equal to the external applied magnetic field)
51
what does the applied magnetic field do to a molecule
induces the electron cloud in the molecule to start moving round and round like a cloud tornado from above
52
what does the external magnetic field inducing the electron cloud in a molecule mean
it means that it forms a smaller local magnetic field that acts against the external magnetic field + reduced the overall field a nucleus experiences. aka the local magnetic field due to the cloud protects/ SHIELDS the nucleus from the external magnetic field
53
the magnetic field a nucleus experiences is given by
applied magnetic field + local magnetic field depends on the electron density around the nucleus
54
value of energy absorbed by the nucleus is affected by
the electron density around the nucleus that forms a local magnetic field. this depends on the position of the h in the molecule (next to electronegative or not)
55
the greater the electron density near a nucleus the more …..
shielded it is can occur due to an electron donating group near the nucleus reduces the external magnetic field experienced + energy of radio wave radiation needed for resonance.
56
an electron withdrawing group near the nucleus decreases the amount of electrons near the nucleus andddd
reduces the local magnetic field + SHIELDING nucleus experiences larger external magnetic field energy/ frequency of radio wave radiation is INCREASED
57
poor shielding means
more energy/ frequency needed for resonance
58
better shielding means
less energy/ frequency needed to experience resonance. less external magnetic field is experienced
59
nuclei in diff environments absorb radiation at different energies giving rise tooo
NMR SPECTRA
60
how does NMR spectra usually displace resonance signals
in terms of their difference when compared to a reference compound TMS (tetra methyl silane) or CFCl3
61
why are TMS or CFCl3 used as reference compounds in NMR
symmetric ch3 arrangement around the Si means Hs are shielded well. their signal is out the range normally seen in other compounds. 12 nuclei are in the same environment and so only have 1 peak. 4 carbons have the same environment and therefore also only have 1 peak. different peaks = diff environments = diff shielding experienced due to the different environments.
