| Abstract |
|
Interpreting the information encoded in the structure of a multiplet representing a nucleus (e.g., a proton) in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows us to construct a detailed picture of the molecule to which the nucleus belongs. To gain this understanding, we can employ interactive, user-friendly software packages (such as WinDNMR) on a conventional personal computer to investigate the effect of changing the constituent coupling constants on the appearance of a multiplet. As an example, a multiplet representing a proton coupled to three neighboring environments (four-spin system) is treated in detail. Exercises similar to those presented in this work could be incorporated into a practical component of a course dealing with the basic theoretical concepts of one-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.
