1.
The 13C free induction decay (FID) was acquired following a single 30o pulse to a sample of iodomethane. The spectrum following Fourier transformation (FT) is given on the right.
13C iodomethane spectra

 
Describe what would happen to the FID and to the spectrum obtained following FT when :
i)
The pulse angle was increased by a factor of 3.
ii)
The pulse angle was increased by a factor of 6.
iii)
The pulse angle was increased by a factor of 12?
iv)
100 FIDs were accumulated and added together before FT.
v)
The sample was dissolved in a viscous solvent before acquisition of the FID.
vi)
The proton spectrum was saturated for several seconds immediately before (but not during) the acquisition of the FID.
vii)
The 13C spectrum was saturated for several seconds immediately before acquisition of the FID.
viii)
The 1H spectrum was irradiated continuously with strong Rf radiation before and during the acquisition of the FID.
Answer


2.
The 1H free induction decay (FID) was acquired following a single 90o pulse to a sample of chloroform (CHCl3). The spectrum following Fourier transformation (FT) is given on the right.
1H chloroform spectra

 
Describe what would happen to the FID and to the spectrum obtained following FT when :
i)
The pulse angle was increased to 150o.
ii)
A small amount of an Fe(III) salt was dissolved in the solution before acquisition of the FID.
iii)
16 FIDs were accumulated and added together before FT.
iv)
A second FID was acquired using a 270o pulse instead of a 90o pulse and added to the first before FT.
v)
The sample was dissolved in a viscous solvent before acquisition of the FID.
vi)
The FID was accumulated for twice the acquisition time before FT.
vii)
The proton spectrum was saturated for several seconds immediately before (but not during) the acquisition of the FID.
What would happen to the spectrum if 16 FIDs were accumulated, each was transformed and the resulting spectra were added together to give the final spectrum ?
