NMR chemical shift
« on: April 03, 2012, 07:02:15 AM »
Hello,

I ran a reaction and followed is using NMR spectroscopy. Initially I got pure starting reactants and pure end products and ran the spectra to see what they would look like.

When I followed the reaction via NMR in the spectra you saw products and reactants. However thee products had a chemical shift downifled average 0.34 ppm, and the reactants had a shift upfield of about 0.6.

So I'm guessing it is to do with the pH..does anyone know how can I confirm this?

Maybe you should explain what you learned (if it is interesting) instead of deleting it.

Well I learned that when I use NMR I should take more care....my 1.reference spectrum was too basic and one was too acidic, so when I did the NMR for my real experiment there was shifts in either direction. So I learnt I should take more care when I do experiments lol
