Possibly rue: same rationale as c. ). he resonance/precession frequency of a 1 nucleus (ν 1 ) in a 14.09 (esla) magnet is 600.0 Mz. What is the resonance frequency of a 13 C nucleus (ν 13C ) in the same magnet? (γ 1 6.7519 x 10 7 rad/s, γ 13C 6.783 x 10 7 rad/s). b.

3). ow does the magnitude of the bulk/macroscopic magnetization compare for: 1 and 13 C spins? b. 1 and 13 C spins at natural abundance (assume the natural abundance of 1 is 100% and 13 C is 1.11%)? c. 1 and 17 spins? (γ 1 6.7519 x 10 7 rad/s, γ 13C 6.783 x 10 7 rad/s, γ 17-3.680 x 10 7 rad/s) M 0 Nγ I(I ( h here is h-bar, Planck s constant divided by π) M 01 M 0 13C Nγ 1 I 1 (I 1 Nγ 13C I 13C (I 13C γ 1 γ (6.7519 107 rad/s) 15.809 So, the bulk 13C (6.783 10 7 rad/s) magnetization is about 16 times as large for 1 compared to 13 C, or 13 C magnetization is about 6.3% that of 1. b.

For equivalent numbers of 1 and 13 C nuclei, how many more scans are necessary to produce 13 C spectra with signal-to-noise equivalent to 1 spectra? Problem Set #1, CEM/BCMB 4190/6190/8189
Sensitivity is proportional to the electromotive force (ε) induced in the receiver coil by the bulk magnetic moment. he magnitude of ε is proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic moment: ε dm/dt γm 0 B Remember, M 0 Nγ I(I ( h here is h-bar, Planck s constant divided by π), so ε γm 0 B Nγ 3 h B 0 I(I. So, whereas the magnitude of the bulk magnetization was dependent on γ, the sensitivity is dependent on γ 3. hus, ε 1 ε 13C Nγ 3 1 h B 0 I(I Nγ 3 13C h B 0 I(I γ 3 1 γ (6.7519 107 rad/s) 3 3 6.856 So, 1 13C (6.783 10 7 rad/s) 3 nuclei are about 63 times more sensitive than 13 C nuclei, or the sensitivity of a 13 C nucleus is about 1.59% that of a 1 nucleus. b. In NMR, signal-to-noise (S/N) improves with the square root of the number of scans (N 1/ ). So, since the 1 sensitivity S/N from a above is 6.856 times better that 13 C, it will take (6.856) 3951 13 C scans for every 1 scan to get equivalent S/N for equivalent numbers of 1 and 13 C nuclei. 5). A diagram of the Zeeman levels/states for 1 is shown to the right. ow do you determine the number of levels/states for a given nucleus? E b. ow many levels/states are there for 17? m c.

6). he frequency difference ( ν) between two 1 signals in a 1 spectrum is 3000 z when the spectrum is acquired with a magnetic field strength of 11.74 (corresponding to a 1 resonance/observe frequency of 500 Mz). What is the chemical shift difference ( δ) between the two signals? b. What would be the frequency difference between the two 1 signals if the spectrum was acquired with a 14.09 magnet? c. If the spectrum was acquired with a magnetic field strength of 14.09 (600 Mz 1 resonance/observe frequency), what would be the chemical shift difference? δ b. ν ν 3000 z 3000 z observe frequency 106 500 Mz 106 6.0 "ppm" ( parts per million ) 500 z δ observe frequency 6.0 600Mz 3600 z 10 6 10 6 c. he chemical shift difference would still be 6.0 ppm. he chemical shift is independent of magnetic field strength. ν 3600 z 3600 z δ observe frequency 106 600 Mz 106 6.0 "ppm" 600 z 7). he measured magnitude of J, for a particular AX spin system using a 500 Mz (11.74) magnet is 4.5 z. What is the magnitude of this coupling using a 600 Mz (14.09) magnet? he measured magnitude for the coupling is the same (4.5 z). he magnitudes of scalar couplings are independent of the B 0 field strength. 8). You have found that τ ρ (pulse width/length) for a 90 (π/) pulse for your sample is 10 µs. Sketch a bar graph of signal amplitude versus τ ρ for your sample for τ ρ values of 0, 5, 10, 15, 0, 5, 30, 35, and 40 µs. b. Explain, in general, the relationship between the transverse component of the bulk magnetization, My, τ ρ, the pulse angle α, and the NMR signal amplitude. signal amplitude 0 5 10 15 0 5 30 35 40 τ ρ (µs) Problem Set #1, CEM/BCMB 4190/6190/8189 4
b. he amplitude of the signal induced in the receiver coil of an NMR instrument is proportional to My, the transverse component of the bulk magnetization. In turn, both My and α are dependent on τ ρ. For a given pulse power, α increases from 0 to 90 with incremental increases in τ ρ and My increases as M sin α. 9. he 1 and 13 C NMR spectra for phenol are shown below. he chemical shifts for the 1 signals are 5.4, 6.8, 6.9 and 7.5 ppm. he chemical shifts for the 13 C signals are 115, 11, 130, and 155 ppm. he 1 and 13 C chemical shifts for benzene are 7.7 and 18 ppm respectively. Match the chemical shifts with the correct proton and carbon atoms: 1 1 13 C 1 1 13 C 1 3 13 C 3 1 4 13 C 4 1 5 13 C 5 1 6 13 C 6 b. Justify your answers to a. Draw resonance structures, state which nuclei are shielded or deshielded relative to one another and to benzene and why. 6 1 5 4 3 1 1 5.4 1 6.8 1 3 7.5 1 4 6.9 1 5 7.5 1 6 6.8 13 C 1 155 13 C 115 13 C 3 130 13 C 4 11 13 C 5 130 13 C 6 115 b. In the 1 spectrum, the signals around 7 ppm are due to the aromatic protons, as in benzene. he hydroxyl signal is the signal at 5.4 ppm, and is deshielded relative to aliphatic protons due to the attached (electronegative) oxygen atom. Likewise, in the 13 C spectrum, the signals at 115-130 are due to 13 C atoms -6, as in benzene, whereas the signal at 155 is due to 13 C 1, which is deshielded relative to benzene due to attachment to the oxygen atom. Resonance structures can be drawn (below) where the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen is donated to the C- bond, Problem Set #1, CEM/BCMB 4190/6190/8189 5
thus localizing a negative charge at either the ortho ( or 6) or para (4) positions. Because the charge density, and thus the shielding, at the ortho and para positions will be greater than at the meta position, the 1 and 13 C chemical shifts at the meta positions will be expected to be larger. hus, δ 1 3 δ 1 5 7.5, and δ 13 C 3 δ 13 C 5 130. Finally, one would expect that the charge density at the ortho position would be larger than at the para position because of its proximity to the oxygen and the C double bond, and thus would be more shielded. So, the 1 and 13 C chemical shifts at the ortho position (δ 1 δ 1 6 6.8, δ 13 C δ 13 C 6 115) are smaller than at the para position (δ 1 4 6.9, δ 13 C 4 11). 10). If the longitudinal relaxation time for a given nucleus is 10 seconds, how long after a 90 pulse will we have to wait until the magnitude of the z component of the bulk magnetization (M z ) is equal to 95% of the magnitude of the bulk magnetization before the pulse (M 0 )? We assume, as did Bloch, that this relaxation process is first order, and M z M 0 (1 e t / 1 ).
