Understanding the principles behind NMR spectroscopy is our starting point, followed by a deep dive into 1H (proton) NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Absolutely everything you need to know is covered in detail from identifying chemical environments to interpreting a spectrum, with practice questions and perfect answer templates 😊
Understanding NMR spectroscopy
Starting with the chemical principles that underpin nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, this post explains how we obtain and interpret an NMR spectrum.
Everything you need to know about proton NMR spectroscopy
From figuring out what the number and position of the peaks tell us about the proton environments in molecule to deciphering complex splitting patterns …
Everything you need to know about 13C NMR spectroscopy
Once you have got your head around 1H NMR spectroscopy, interpreting a 13C spectrum is straightforward!
With lots of exam Q&A as always 😎.
Mixed spectra long answer questions
This is a set of more difficult long answer exam questions that require you to use data from mass spectra, IR spectra, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra to deduce the structure of a molecule.
They are notoriously poorly answered by students, so hopefully the model answers and exam tips here will help you power through!
