Nuclear spin
The atomic nucleus is acomposite particle built from Zprotons and N neutrons, bothspin-1/2 fermions, which are inturn built from quarks.
Nuclei with even (odd) massnumber A = Z + N have integer(half-integer) spin I .
Nuclei with Z and N both evenhave I = 0, e.g. 12C, 16O, 56Fe.
Nuclei with Z and N both oddhave I > 0, e.g. 2H(1),10B(3),14N(1), 40K(4).

Larmor presession
The NMR experiment probes transitions between levels split bynuclear spin Zeeman interaction,
We place a nucleus of magnetic moment m = γIin a magnetic field B0 = B0n
The interaction spin Hamiltonian is given by
H0 = −m · B0 = −γI · B0
The time-evolution of the nuclear spin function is
ψ(t) = e−iHtψ(0) = e+iγB0t(n·I)ψ (0) = R I (−γB0t,n)ψ(0)
...corresponding to a rotation about the magnetic field vector n withangular frequency ω0 = −γB0.
Trond Saue (LCPQ, Toulouse) Nuclear magnetic resonance Virginia Tech 2015 4 / 51
Larmor precession
The time-evolution of the nuclear spin I can be followed using theEhrenfest theorem
d 〈Ii 〉dt
= −i 〈[Ii ,H0]〉 = +iγ 〈[Ii , Ij ]〉B0;j = −γεijk 〈Ik〉B0;j
which can be re-arranged to
d 〈I〉dt
= 〈m〉 × B0
...showing that the nuclear spin precesses aboutthe magnetic field vector with the Larmorfrequency ω0 = −γB0.
Most nuclei have positive γ such that theLarmor precession is clockwise.
In the following we will assume that the magnetic field is along the z-axis B0 = B0ez .

A poetic moment
I remember, in the winter of our firstexperiments,...,looking on snow with new eyes.
There the snow lay around my doorstep — greatheaps of protons quietly precessing in the earth’smagnetic field.

Rotating-frame Hamiltonian
We have seen that the time-evolution of the nuclear spin function in themagnetic field is
ψ(t) = R Iz (ω0t)ψ(0); ω0 = −γB0
We now transform to a frame rotating with angular frequency ωref aroundthe magnetic field.In this frame the nuclear spin function is
ψ(t) = R Iz (−Φ)ψ(t); Φ(t) = ωref t + φref
The time-dependent Schrodinger equation can now be expressed as
H0R Iz (Φ) ψ(t) = i
d
dtR Iz (Φ) ψ(t) = R I
z (Φ)
(ωref Iz + i
d
dt
)ψ(t)
Pre-multiplication with R I (−Φ) gives
H0ψ(t) = id
dtψ(t)
...where we have introduced the rotating-frame spin Hamiltonian
H0 = R Iz (−Φ) H0R I
z (Φ)− ωref Iz = (ω0 − ωref ) Iz

Radiofrequency probe
The system is now probed by a weak radiofrequency pulseperpendicular to the magnetic field (along the x-axis)
B1 = B1ex cos (Φp) ; Φp(t) = ωref t + φp
For computational convenience it will be split into two parts ofopposite circular polarization
B1 = B+1 + B−1
with
B±1 =1
2√
2B1 (e± exp [iΦp] + e∓ exp [−iΦp]) ; e± =
1√2
(ex ± iey )
The component B−1 describes circular polarization following the Larmorprecession, whereas B+
1 describes circular polarization in the opposite senseand can in most situations be discarded, as we will do in the following.The Hamiltonian describing the radio pulse is therefore given by
H−1 = −γI · B−1 = −1

Radiofrequency pulse in the rotating frame
Using the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff expansion
exp (A) B exp (−A) = A + [B,A] +1
2[B, [B,A]] + . . .
and the commutation relation
[Iz , I±] = ±I± : I± = Ix ± iIy
we find that
I−e+iΦp = R Iz (Φp) I−R I
z (−Φp) ; I+e−iΦp = R Iz (Φp) I+R I
z (−Φp)
such that the total spin Hamiltonian in the rotating frame becomes
H = (ω0 − ωref ) Iz + R Iz (−Φ) H1R I
z (Φ)
= (ω0 − ωref ) Iz −1
4γB1R I
z (−Φ + Φp) (I− + I+) R Iz (−Φp + Φ)

Radiofrequency pulse in the rotating frame
As a final step we employ our freedom in choosing the phase constantφref to bring the total spin Hamiltonian into identical form for bothpositive and negative gyromagnetic ratio γ:
H = (ω0 − ωref ) Iz + ωnutRIz (φp) IxR
Iz (−φp) ; φref =
π for γ > 0
0 for γ < 0
where we have introduced the nutation frequency ωnut = 12 |γ|B1.
The presence of
Ix =1
2(I+ + I−)
in the Hamiltonian adds a nutation to theprecession generated by Iz .

Radiofrequency pulse at resonance
H = (ω0 − ωref ) Iz + ωnutRIz (φp) IxR
Iz (−φp) ; φref =
π for γ > 0
0 for γ < 0
Consider now the application of a radiofrequency pulse of phaseφp = 0 at resonance, that is ωref = ω0.The spin Hamiltonian in the rotating frame is accordingly
H = ωnut Ix =1
2ωnutσx ; ωnut =

...and the time development of the spin function in the rotating frameis
ψ(t) = e−i Ht ψ(0) = e−i 12ωnutσx t ψ(0) = R
12x (ωnutt) ψ(0)
Let ψ(0) = |+z〉. We then see that

In general, however, the radiofrequency pulse has a specific durationτp which allows the selection of final state

2βp |+z〉 − i sin

where we have introduced the flip angle βp = ωnutτp
Examples are:
I a (π/2)x - pulse:
ψ(τp) =1√2|+z〉 − i√
2|−z〉 = |−y〉
I a (π)x -pulse:
ψ(τp) = −i |−z〉
...and so we see that the pulses have a straightforward geometricalinterpretation.

The NMR experiment
1 The sample is placed in a strong magnetic field which induces a longitudinalmagnetization
Mnucz (t) = Mnuc
eq (1− exp {− (t − ton) /T1})
where T1 is the longitudinal (or spin-lattice) relaxation time constant.
2 Transverse nuclear magnetization is induced by a weak radiofrequency pulseat resonance ω0
Mnucx (t) = Mnuc
eq sin (ω0t) exp {−t/T2}Mnuc
y (t) = −Mnuceq cos (ω0t) exp {−t/T2}
where T2 is the transverse relaxation time constant.
3 The NMR signal, that is the oscillating electric current [free-induction decay(FID)] induced by the precessing nuclear transverse magnetization isdetected.

Fourier-transform NMR
The magnetic field B0 is heldfixed and a short (1-10µs)square RF pulse is applied toexcite all nuclei in their localenvironments.
The free-induction decay isdetected andFourier-transformed to give thefinal spectrum.

Nuclear shielding
The principal chemical interest of NMR resides in the fact that thelocal magnetic field experienced by a nuclear spin is sensitive to itschemical environment. The nuclear spin Zeeman operator isaccordingly modified to
H0 = −mK · Bloc0
The local magnetic field can to a very good approximation beassumed linear in the applied external field
Bloc0 =
(I3 − σK
)B0; σK =
σKxx σK
xy σKxz
σKyx σK
yy σKyz
σKzx σK
zy σKzz
where we have introduced the shielding tensor σK of nucleus K .
Experiments in isotropic liquids give the isotropic shielding:
σiso =1
3
(σKxx + σK
yy + σKzz
)due to rotational averaging.
In general, the more electronegative the nucleus is, the smaller theshielding.Other factors, such as ring currents and bond strain, also play a role.

JKL: basis set requirements
The dominating contribution to JKL is JFCKL
Flexibility in the s orbitals required, as well as functions well aimed atdescribing the δ-function ⇒ Uncontracted s functions with additionalsteep functions needed

Relativistic effects
The NMR parameters probes the electron density around nuclei and istherefore quite sensitive to relativistic effects.
The effect on absolute shieldings is quite more significant than for chemicalshifts.
Spin-orbit effects can be quitesignificant on shieldings and mayinduce triplet instabilities.
