IQ2: How is information about the reactivity and structure of organic compounds obtained?
Students:
● investigate the processes used to analyse the structure of simple organic compounds addressed in the course, including but not limited to:
– proton and carbon-13 NMR

This is a visual overview of some major features of NMR Spectroscopy.
This is a video by the Royal Society of Chemistry showing NMR Spectroscopy in action (and much more detail)
DoE Sample Spectral Data.docxThis is selection of sample spectra provided by the DoE.
USYD has some fantastic explanations of NMR Spectroscopy with annotated spectra as examples.
First you are given a structure and then need to predict the spectra (number of peaks and approximate shift). Then you need to identify which peaks belong to which protons.
More complex problems.
A selection of interactive NMR problems. In some instances, the formula is provided and you need to determine the structure.

Doc Brown is a British Chemistry Resource (GCSE). There is a wide range of C-13 Spectra explained here.
ChemSpider is an online database which allows you to search for molecules AND their spectra.
You can search by name or structure.
The Spectral Database for Organic Compounds is an excellent database allowing you to search compounds based on multiple factors and examine spectra.
By using the "Browse Spectra" function, you can draw many molecules and examine their IR, C-NMR or H-NMR spectra.
This is older and slower.
