    NMR versus GC/MS, HPLC/GC, HCLtitration, meltingpoint test

    Is it true that only a NMR test is able to detect the effectiveness, quality, quantity of a product? That it is able to detect wrong raw material, over-reaction, or isomers occurring during synthesis? But what about the other tests like GC/MS, HPLC/GC, HCLtitration, meltingpoint test. Is one...

    NMR Theory, Relaxation and Precession

    Hello everyone, I'm having a really confusing time trying to get my head around these concepts, so I will try to explain what I can... So, in proton NMR we have nuclei that can be in either spin-up or spin-down states. Nuclei align with an external magnetic field but precess. (This precession...

    How Does Introducing a Second Magnetic Field Affect NMR and Quantum Behavior?

    Hello, I am writing an appendix to my thesis where i try to explain how nmr works but i am having trouble understanding something. Suppose that we have a sample with many nuclei with 1/2 spin precessing around an external magnetic field \vec{B_0} aligned with the z axis. At Boltzmann...

    What causes the tilt angle of a precessing proton to change in a magnetic field?

    What determines the tilt angle of a precessing proton in a magnetic field? Is it a constant the assuming no additional magnetic forces? In an NMR a perpendicular magnetic field is applied which rotates the precessing magnetic moment into the X-Y plane. After this perpendicular magnetic...
