The amount of energy required to spin-flip a nucleus depends both on the strength of the external magnetic field and on the nucleus. At a field strength of 4.7 T, rf energy of 200 MHz is required to bring a \(\mathrm {^1H}\) nucleus into resonance, but energy of only 187 MHz will bring a \(\mathrm {^{19}F}\) nucleus into resonance. Calculate the amount of energy required to spin-flip a 19F nucleus. Is this amount greater or less than that required to spin-flip a \(\mathrm {^1H}\) nucleus?

Question
When measured on a spectrometer operating at 200 MHz, chloroform \(\mathrm {(CHCl_3)}\) shows a single sharp absorption at 7.3 \(\delta\).
(a) How many parts per million downfield from TMS does chloroform absorb?
(b) How many hertz downield from TMS would chloroform absorb if the measurement were carried out on a spectrometer operating at 360 MHz?
(c) What would be the position of the chloroform absorption in \(\delta\) units when measured on a 360 MHz spectrometer?
Solution
The first step in solving 13 problem number 34 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: When measured on a spectrometer operating at 200 MHz, chloroform \(\mathrm {(CHCl_3)}\) shows a single sharp absorption at 7.3 \(\delta\).(a) How many parts per million downfield from TMS does chloroform absorb?(b) How many hertz downield from TMS would chloroform absorb if the measurement were carried out on a spectrometer operating at 360 MHz?(c) What would be the position of the chloroform absorption in \(\delta\) units when measured on a 360 MHz spectrometer?
From the textbook chapter Structure Determination: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
