Question

For a transition metal M, the correct order of

spectral shift [in ppm relative

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct option is A

12C being non-magnetic (spin number, I = 0) is NMR inactive. Like 1H nucleus, 13C has spin number, I=1/2, therefore principles governing 13C NMR are exactly similar to those of 1H NMR spectroscopy, but the scale of observed shifts and couplings is greater for 13C. Chemical shifts for 13C are measured (in ppm) from tetramethyl silane (TMS) as reference so that the same sample can be used to study both nuclei. The δ scale for TMS is 0.0, for 1H is 0-15 ppm and for 13C is 0-250 ppm. Because of the greater range of chemical shifts 13C spectra nearly always contain a separate and distinct resonance for each chemically shifted nucleus in the molecule.
Coupling between 13C and neighbouring protons exhibits in 13C NMR spectra. As in 1H NMR spectra, the pattern of coupling is also very diagnostic. A C-H fragment gives a doublet, CH2 gives a triplet and CH3 gives a quartet in the 13C NMR spectrum. This reveals the number of protons to which each carbon atom is bound.
The magnetic moment of 13C is about one quarter that of 1H, therefore, the signals in 13C NMR spectrum are weaker. 13C is 1.6% sensitive as 1H.
13C-13C coupling is negligible because natural abundance of 13C is only 1.1 per cent. Thus, in one type of 13C NMR spectrum (proton decoupled) each magnetically non-equivalent carbon gives a single sharp peak that does not undergo further splitting. If there are fewer than 100 carbon atoms in a molecule, then there will be, on an average, only one 13C nucleus in the molecule.
It is usually possible to get good proton decoupled 13C NMR spectra from most of the organometallic compounds. Approximate ranges of chemical shifts for 13C NMR spectra of certain groups in organometallic compounds are shown in Table.
