Nitrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 103))

Abstract

Experimental aspects associated with the two magnetic isotopes of nitrogen, 14N (natural abundance = 99.6%, spin quantum number = 1) and 15N (natural abundance = 0.4%, spin quantum number = 1/2) are discussed briefly. General relationships of molecular structure to nitrogen chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants involving 15N are presented. The utility of nitrogen NMR for examining molecular dynamics is described. Illustrations are provided that are chosen largely from organic and biochemistry.
