Safety Rules
Before beginning work in the NMR facility laboratories, the following safety rules must be observed.
• Person with medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers and prosthetic parts must remain outside the 5-gauss perimeter.
• Metal object must remain outside the 5-gauss perimeter. Metallic paper clips and staples should not be brought in the labs.
• In the event of a “magnet quench” leave the area immediately, leaving the doors to the NMR lab open.
• Do not look down the magnet upper barrel if probe is in the place.• Cards with magnetic strips (ATM, credit, driver’s licenses) should
remain outside the 5-gauss perimeter. • Do not exceed boiling or freezing points of a sample. • Be very careful with sample tubes.

Determination of Structure and Dynamics of Organic Molecules in Solutions by NMR Spectroscopy
Techniques
The uniqueness of NMR spectroscopy techniques, when applied to studies of organic molecules, lies in the
fact that they can be used for both establishing molecular structure and investigation of molecular
dynamics.

Verification of proposed structure

Sample preparation
• NMR tube selection (Wilmad PP-528, PP-541; Shigemi)• Solvent selection (dilute samples – higher degree solvent deuteration) • Sample purity and concentration (optimal ~20-50 mM, avoid >100 mM)• Sample volume (0.6-0.7 mL for 5 mm tube, sample height ~5-6 cm)
Example: 20 mM sample with 1.4 mM impuritySample Ss/N = 100/1 in 30 secS/N ~ √n . c → Si/N = 100 . ci/cscs – sample concentration ci – impurity concentrationImpurity Si/N = 7/1

Elucidation Unknown Molecular Structures
As much information as possible should be gathered about the unknown structure before NMR studies.
• Molecular formula (elemental analysis or high resolution MS spectrometry)
• Identification of functional groups (IR, UV/Vis)
• Calculation of the degree of unsaturation, U, (number of rings and multiple bonds)U = C + 1 – 0.5.(H+X-N)
C and H are numbers of carbon and hydrogen atoms, respectively. X and N are numbers of heteroatoms with valence 1 and 3, respectively.
• Measurement and analysis of 1D 1H and 13C{1H} spectra, 2D COSY, TOCSY, HSQC (HMQC, HETCOR), HMBC, ROESY spectra
