Because almost all proton resonance frequencies are found downfield of the TMS signal, TMS is used as an internal reference. All peak positions are measured as frequencies downfield of TMS, with TMS at zero.
There is a problem however.. ν is proportional to Ho
Ho = 60 MHz, ν = 162 Hz downfield of TMS
Ho = 100 MHz, ν = 270 Hz downfield of TMS

Other nuclei - proton-proton coupling
Consider the vicinal protons in the molecule:
C
HA
C
HM
ClCl Br
Br
In the absence of any influence by HM, HA will resonate at νA.
But proton HM generates its own magnetic field which will affect νA. Is this field aligned with Ho or against Ho i.e. will it shield or deshield HA?
![Page 25: NMR Spectroscopy A proton NMR spectrum. Information from peaks: Size (integration), position and multiplicity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56649edb5503460f94bea5e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Remember that the population of the two spin states are nearly equal. In the total of all molecules, half of the HM protons will be aligned with Ho and half against.
So in half the molecules, HM shields HA and in half HM deshields HA. We therefore see two peaks for HA, of equal intensity; one upfield of νA and one downfield of νA.
We call this type of signal a … “doublet”.We say that HA is “split” into a doublet by HM.
This effect is referred to as … “spin-spin” coupling.

J AM
The distance between the two peaks in Hz is J, the coupling constant.
![Page 26: NMR Spectroscopy A proton NMR spectrum. Information from peaks: Size (integration), position and multiplicity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56649edb5503460f94bea5e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Important aspects of coupling:
• coupling always goes both ways. If HA is split by HM, then HM must also be split by HA and J must be equal in both cases. • coupling is a through-bond and not a through-space effect.
• coupling between shift-equivalent nuclei is not observed.
![Page 27: NMR Spectroscopy A proton NMR spectrum. Information from peaks: Size (integration), position and multiplicity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56649edb5503460f94bea5e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A few words about J.
The magnitude of J can be extremely useful in determining structure. It depends on:
• number of bonds between nuclei• type of bonds between nuclei• type of nuclei• conformation

J2 = 12-14 Hz

Because coupling is a through bond effect, the magnitude of J depends on the number of bonds between coupling nuclei.One bond couplings are larger than two bond couplings, two larger than three. In proton-proton couplings, four bond couplings are not usually observed.

If X is a strong electron-withdrawing group (carbonyl, nitro, sulfonic acid) then the ortho and para protons will be pulled downfield.
