Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • analyse and make sense of a carbon-13 NMR spectrum for a simple molecule so as to deduce: (a) the separate environments that the carbon atoms in it occupy (b) the structures that are possible for the molecule
  • predict or explain how many peaks a given molecule gives in its carbon-13 NMR spectrum
