Have different energy levels depending on whether their spin is aligned with or against the applied magnetic field
what do you need to consider to determine the peaks?
symmetry
what is chemical shift dependent on?
if an carbon is attached to an electronegative, pulls electron density away from the carbon atoms (deshielded)
hybridisation: saturated carbon nuclei are more shielded. Electrons in a pi bond less effective at shielding the nucleus because electron distribution around nucleus (more deshielded)
carbon nuclei that are unsaturated and bonded to oxygen are even more deshielded
Peak c=o
200-150
c=c
150-100
o-c
100-50
saturated c
50-0
what does peak height tell us?
in c13 nmr
tells us the amount of carbons in an environment
Quaternary carbon atoms (fully substituted)
how does delocalization affect c nmr?
can lead to partial positive or negative character
