Abstract
Intramolecular dynamics are readily discernible by use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A relatively simple laboratory tutorial experiment demonstrating such motion, an internal interchange of conformations, in a readily available nitroaromatic hydrazine (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine in liquid solution) is presented and discussed. Simple computer analysis of the 1H line shapes taken on standard NMR equipment at several temperatures produces the activation energy (as well as the pseudothermodynamic enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free-energy changes) for the process. The molecular basis for the molecular motion is easily visualizable.

NMR Exchange Spectroscopy
Holly C. Gaede2007 969 (), 176-189NMR Exchange Spectroscopy
Holly C. Gaede2007 969 (), 176-189Two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) is a useful approach for studying dynamic processes with NMR. This method may be used in undergraduate laboratories as an alternative to the established techniques of line shape analysis or saturation transfer. ...

Eric Helms , Nicholas Arpaia and Melissa WidenerJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1328Assigning the NMR Spectrum of Glycidol: An Advanced Organic Chemistry Exercise
Eric Helms , Nicholas Arpaia and Melissa WidenerJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1328This exercise combines conformational analysis and 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopy to correctly assign the proton and carbon NMR spectra of 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol (glycidol). In the process, students learn how to read DEPT-135, HETCOR, and COSY spectra. One ...

Determination of Spin—Lattice Relaxation Time Using 13C NMR. An Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Laboratory Experiment
Zbigniew L. Gasyna and Antoni JurkiewiczJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (7), 1038Determination of Spin—Lattice Relaxation Time Using 13C NMR. An Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Laboratory Experiment
Zbigniew L. Gasyna and Antoni JurkiewiczJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (7), 1038A 13C NMR experiment is proposed in which spin–lattice relaxation time T1 is determined for carbon atoms in a sample of liquid n-hexanol. The effective correlation times for rotational reorientation are calculated to determine the relative mobility of ...
