Chem 335 - Winter 1999 -
Organic Chemistry II know the terminology:
electromagnetic radiation, frequency, wavelength, wavenumber
spectroscopy, absorption spectrum
index of hydrogen deficiency (degrees of unsaturation)
nuclear spin, precession, resonance
shielding/deshielding effects, chemical shift, TMS, ppm (delta)
spin-spin splitting, coupling constant, (n+1) rule
C-13 NMR, MRI
identify characteristics of electromagnetic radiation
identify types of molecular energy levels and the types of radiation that stimulate transitions within those energy levels
explain the concept of nuclear spin, the effects of a magnetic field, and the phenomenon of resonance
explain the basic workings of an NMR spectrometer
predict the number of peaks, their integrated area ratios, their approximate chemical shifts, and their spin-spin coupling patterns for a given compound in both H and C NMR spectra
identify the likely structure of a compound based on its
NMR spectrum,
possibly combined with other evidence
