Dictionary A chemical-shift reference is used to define the (CH3)4SI positions of the resonances in the spectrum in terms of parts-per-million, or ppm, of frequency It is a material which is often directly added to the

3. 1 Chemical shift When an atom is placed in a magnetic field B its electrons circulate about the direction of the applied magnetic field. This circulation causes a small magnetic field at the nucleus which opposes the externally applied field The magnetic field at the nucleus(the effective field) is therefore generally less than the applied field by a fraction THNMR

What is nmr? g NMR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, is a phenomenon which occurs when the nuclei of certain atoms are immersed in a static magnetic field and exposed to a second oscillating magnetic field
