Diamagnetic Anisotropy - H NMR Spectroscopy - Organic Chemistry
TLDRThis script delves into the concept of chemical shifts in H NMR spectroscopy for different types of molecules, focusing on benzene, ethylene, and acetylene. It explains how the chemical shift varies due to the difference in hybridization of carbon atoms and the influence of diamagnetic anisotropy. The script illustrates how the orientation of the induced magnetic field relative to the applied magnetic field affects the net magnetic field experienced by protons, resulting in varying chemical shifts. It concludes with an example of a molecule with two distinct signals due to the different environments of protons, highlighting the impact of molecular structure on NMR spectra.
Takeaways
- 🌀 The chemical shift in H NMR for benzene, ethylene, and acetylene is influenced by the type of carbon atom the protons are attached to, with sp hybridization in acetylene leading to a lower shift compared to sp2 in ethylene and benzene.
- 🧲 Diamagnetic and anisotropic effects explain the variation in chemical shifts; the net magnetic field experienced by protons differs based on their location within the molecule relative to the applied magnetic field.
- 🔍 In benzene, the pi electrons circulate around the ring, creating an induced magnetic field that opposes the applied magnetic field at the center but is parallel to it at the protons, resulting in a higher chemical shift.
- 📉 For ethylene, a similar situation occurs with the induced magnetic field reinforcing the applied magnetic field at the protons, leading to a relatively high chemical shift.
- 📈 In contrast, in acetylene, the induced magnetic field is anti-parallel to the applied field at the protons, resulting in a weaker net magnetic field and a lower chemical shift.
- 🔬 The orientation of the protons in space and their relationship to the applied magnetic field are critical in determining the chemical shift values observed in H NMR spectra.
- 🔄 The direction of the induced magnetic field around a molecule can vary, affecting the chemical shift of protons differently depending on whether it is in the same or opposite direction as the applied field.
- 📊 Chemical shifts are high when the applied and induced magnetic fields are aligned, creating a stronger effective net magnetic field, and low when they oppose each other, resulting in a weaker net field.
- 🌀 The presence of pi bonds and the movement of electrons in benzene contribute to the high chemical shift of its protons due to the alignment of the induced and applied magnetic fields.
- 🔴 In special molecules with two types of hydrogen atoms, like the one described, the chemical shift can vary significantly, with exterior protons showing a high shift and interior protons a low shift.
- 📝 Understanding the principles of diamagnetic and anisotropic effects is essential for interpreting the chemical shifts of protons in H NMR spectra and distinguishing between different molecular environments.
Q & A
What is the chemical shift range for protons in benzene in an H NMR spectrum?
-The chemical shift for protons in benzene is between 6.5 to 8 parts per million.
What is the approximate chemical shift range for the protons in ethylene?
-The chemical shifts for the protons in ethylene are around 4.5 to 6.5 parts per million.
Why is the chemical shift for protons attached to an alkyne like acetylene lower than that for ethylene and benzene?
-The chemical shift for protons attached to an alkyne is lower due to the sp hybridization of the carbon atom and the orientation of the induced magnetic field relative to the applied magnetic field.
What is the significance of hybridization in determining the chemical shift of protons in organic molecules?
-Hybridization affects the chemical shift because sp hybridized carbons, like in acetylene, lead to a different orientation of the induced magnetic field compared to sp2 hybridized carbons in ethylene and benzene.
What is diamagnetic shielding and how does it relate to chemical shifts in NMR?
-Diamatic shielding refers to the reduction in the net magnetic field experienced by certain nuclei due to the circulation of electrons. It affects chemical shifts as the net magnetic field influences the resonance frequency of the protons.
How does the induced magnetic field generated by pi electrons in benzene affect the chemical shift of its protons?
-The induced magnetic field generated by pi electrons in benzene is in the same direction as the applied magnetic field, resulting in a stronger net magnetic field and thus a higher chemical shift for the protons.
What is the effect of the induced magnetic field on the chemical shift of protons in ethylene?
-In ethylene, the induced magnetic field and the applied magnetic field are in the same direction, reinforcing each other and leading to a relatively high chemical shift for the protons.
How does the orientation of the induced magnetic field in acetylene differ from that in benzene and ethylene?
-In acetylene, the induced magnetic field is anti-parallel to the applied magnetic field, resulting in a weaker net magnetic field and a lower chemical shift for the protons.
What is the relationship between the net magnetic field and the chemical shift in an H NMR spectrum?
-A stronger net magnetic field acting on the proton results in a greater chemical shift, while a weaker net magnetic field leads to a lower chemical shift in the H NMR spectrum.
Why do the green and red protons in the special molecule mentioned in the script have different chemical shifts?
-The green protons are on the exterior of the molecule where the induced magnetic field is in the same direction as the applied magnetic field, leading to a high chemical shift. The red protons are in the interior where the induced magnetic field opposes the applied field, resulting in a low chemical shift.

🧪 Chemical Shifts and Hybridization Effects in Organic Molecules
The first paragraph discusses the chemical shifts of protons in benzene, ethylene, and acetylene as observed in H NMR spectroscopy. Benzene's protons show shifts between 6.5 to 8 ppm, ethylene's around 4.5 to 6.5 ppm, and acetylene's between 2 and 2.5 ppm. The difference in chemical shifts is attributed to the hybridization of the carbon atoms to which the protons are attached—sp hybridization in acetylene versus sp2 in ethylene and benzene. Additionally, the concept of diamagnetic and anisotropic effects is introduced, explaining how the position of protons within a molecule can affect the net magnetic field they experience due to the applied magnetic field and the induced magnetic field created by moving charged particles, such as pi electrons in benzene.
🌀 Understanding Diamagnetic and Anisotropic Shielding in NMR
This paragraph delves deeper into the effects of diamagnetic and anisotropic shielding on the chemical shifts of protons in molecules like benzene and ethylene. It explains how the pi electrons in benzene create an induced magnetic field that opposes the applied magnetic field at the center of the ring but is in the same direction as the applied field at the location of the protons, leading to a higher chemical shift. A similar situation is described for ethylene. In contrast, for alkynes like acetylene, the induced magnetic field is anti-parallel to the applied field at the position of the protons, resulting in a weaker net magnetic field and thus a lower chemical shift. The explanation includes a visual representation of the fields and their effects on the protons.
📊 Correlation Between Magnetic Field Alignment and Chemical Shifts
The final paragraph summarizes the relationship between the alignment of the applied and induced magnetic fields and the resulting chemical shifts in NMR spectroscopy. It emphasizes that a low chemical shift value indicates the applied magnetic field is opposite to the induced field, creating a weak net magnetic field, whereas a high chemical shift indicates the fields are in the same direction, resulting in a stronger net magnetic field. The paragraph also highlights a special molecule that exhibits two distinct chemical signals in its H NMR spectrum, one high and one unusually low and negative, and explains how the positioning of protons within the molecule affects which signal corresponds to which type of proton.
