Abstract
Similar to the UV and IR spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is also an absorption spectroscopy in which samples absorb electromagnetic radiation in the radio-frequency region (3 MHz to 30,000 MHz) at frequencies governed by the characteristics of the sample. As the name itself implies, NMR spectroscopy involves nuclear magnetic resonances which depend on the magnetic property of atomic nuclei. Thus, NMR spectroscopy deals with nuclear magnetic transitions between magnetic energy levels of the nuclei in molecules. NMR signals were first observed in 1945 independently by Prucell at Harvard and Bloch at Stanford. The first application of NMR to the study of structure was made in 1951 and ethanol was the first compound thus studied. In 1952, Prucell and Bloch won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery.
