| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chemical Shift | Difference (ppm) between the resonance frequency of the proton being absorbed and that of TMS |
| Down Field | Lower value of the applied magnetic field, toward the left on the NMR spectrum, the more DESHEILDED a nucleus is, the farther down field it absorbs |
| Upfield | Higher value, toward the right, more sheiled a nucleus is, the farther upfield it absorbs |
| Complex splitting | Splitting by 2 or more different kinds of protons w/ different coupling constants |
| Integration | measurement of the area under a peak, proportional to the # of protons giving rise to that peak |
| Multiplet | group of peaks resulting from the spin-spin splitting of the signal from a single type of nucleus |
| Desheilded | Bonded to a group that withdraws part of the electron density from around the nucleus |
| Sheilded | Surrounded by electrons whose induced magnetic field opposes the externally applied magnetic field |
| TMS | Tetramethylsaline, an NMR standard absorption...0.00 |
| MRI | Medical term for NMR, avoiding the term nuclear. Use of field gradients in a large bore magnet to scan 2-D slices of the patient's body |
