SIMPLIFICATION OF COMPLEX PROTON NMR - SPECTRA

1) INCREASED FIELD STRENGTH :-
    
                                   First order multiplicity is usually produced when ∆δ ≥ 6J. The chemical shift position is when measuring in Hz) are field dependent the methyl resonance in acetates appears at δ ≥ 2.0 or 2.2 parts per minute (ppm) from TMS. In a 100MHz instrument (2.3T) 2ppm corresponding to 200Hz. The coupling constant are, however, independent of field strength that the ratio ∆δ :J  it's effectively increased as the field strength is increased from 1.4 to 2.3T. If two apart coupling multiplicity overlap at 1.4T,  we can pulling the multiplets apart by increasing the magnetic field. The further we pulling the multiplets apart, the more likely is the spectrum to approaching the first - order, since we are effect increasing ∆δ with respect to J. 

2) SPIN DECOUPLING OR DOUBLE RESONANCE OR DOUBLE IRRADIATION :-

                                 The multiplicity of signals arises because neighbouring protons have more than one orientation parallel or antiparallel. In this below the figure, proton A appears as doublet because of the two spin orientation of X. If we irradiate X with correct radiofrequency energy, we can stimulating rapid transitions both upward and downward between the two spin states of X so that the life time of nucleus in any one spin state is very too short to resolve the coupling with A. If a proton A " sees" only one time- average view of X, then A will come to resonance only once, and not twice. 

By the same argument, if we irradiate proton A with the correct radiofrequency energy causes it to undergo rapid transitions between it's two spin states, proton X will only "see" one time- averaged view of A, and appeared only as a singlet. 
                        To perform this operation we require, in addition to the basic nmr instruments, a second tunable radiofrequency source to irradiate proton X at the necessary frequency near to it's precession frequency, while recording the remaining of the spectrum as before. Since we are making simultaneous use of two frequency sources, the technique is called double resonance or double irradiation. Since the nuclear spins during the process are less coupled than before, it's called spin decoupling. 

                      For the method to be successful, the chemical shift positions for the coupling multiplets should be no closer than ≈ 1ppm. Decoupling of non-first order spectra can frequently lead to first - order spectra, provided this condition is met. 

3) CONTACT - SHIFT REAGENT - CHEMICAL SHIFT REAGENT :-

The nmr spectrum of 6- methylquinoling is given below.

The lower spectrum is the normal record, the upper spectrum was recorded after the addition of a soluble (europium lll) complex to the solution, and the spectrum is pulled out over a much wider range of frequencies so that it's simplified almost to first - order. The paramagnetic europium (lll) ion complexs with the quinoline, and induces enormous downfield shifts in the quinoline resonances. Europium and other lanthanide derivatives are used as chemical shift reagents or contact shift reagents. 

                              For the method to succeed, the molecules must be able to donate nonbonding pairs to the europium ion so that, we are principally concerned with the following functional classes : amines, alcohols, ketones, and Aldehyde, ethers and thioethers, esters, nitriles, and epoxides. The most frequently used lanthanide complexs are those with two enolic β− diketones, dipivaloylmethane (DPM) and heptafluoro- dimethyloctanedione (FOD). Decafluoroheptanedione (FHD) is recently used which is soluble in CCl₄.

R₁ = R₂ = − CMe₃ ≡ Eu (DPM)₃
R₁= − CMe₃, R₂=−C₃F₇≡ Eu (FOD)₃
R₁= R₂= −C₂F₅≡ Eu (FHD)₃

In general, europium complexs produce downfield shifts, while praseodymimum complexs produces upfield shifts. 

The mechanism of contact shifts is two types. (1) unpaired electron spin in the paramagnetic ion for example Eu(lll) is partially transferred through the intervening bonds to the protons of the organic substrate : this is true contact shift. (2) The spinning paramagnetic ion also generates magnetic vectors which operating through space and create secondary fields arrounding the protons : this is called a pseudocontact shift, and predominates in the case of the lanthanide ions.
