Question

1. Which statement of carbon nmr is not true?


a) only the 1.1% of 13c present in organic molecules, and not the 98.9% of 12c, is observable by nmr.

b) carbon-carbon coupling in the spectrum gives information about adjacent carbons.

c) Carbon NMR spectra exhibit much lower sensitivity than do 1h nmr.

d) With proton-decoupling, carbon spectra exhibit a single peak for each type of carbon.

e) carbon chemical shifts cover a much wider range than do proton nmr spectra.

Explanation / Answer

1. D

2. 3
