Default The Phase of an NMR Spectrum

The Phase of an NMR Spectrum

Most students know that the phase of an NMR spectrum has to do with the degree to which the NMR resonances are above or below the baseline of the spectrum (i.e. the amount of absorption and dispersion character). Most students have also learned that the phase of a periodic time domain function depends only on the value of the function at time zero. Thus, the only difference between a cosine and a sine function is where the function starts at time zero. A sine is said to be 90° out of phase with respect to a cosine. Many students do not understand the connection between the phase of their NMR spectrum and the phase of the periodic time domain function giving rise to their spectrum by way of a Fourier transform. The figure below is an attempt to make the connection. The left-hand portion of the figure shows equilibrium magnetization vectors being rotated by radio frequency pulses. 90° pulses along the x, y, -x and -y axes rotate the z magnetization vector to the -y, x, y and -x axes of the rotating frame, respectively according to the right-hand screw rule. After the pulse, the magnetization vector rotates in the rotating frame of reference at a frequency equal to the difference between the transmitter frequency and the frequency of the NMR resonance. In the figure, the magnetization is assumed to be rotating anti-clockwise representing an NMR resonance with a positive frequency with respect to the transmitter frequency. The NMR spectrometer measures the time dependent voltages on two of the four orthogonal axes of the rotating frame separated by 90° (quadrature detection). The time dependent voltages are proportional to the amount of magnetization on the axis as a function of time. One of the two time dependent voltages is called the "real" signal and the other is called the "imaginary" signal. Together these two signals make up the complex free induction decay (FID) which is Fourier transformed to produce the NMR spectrum. In the figure, the -y(t) voltage is the real FID and the x(t) voltage is the imaginary FID. The figure shows representations of the real and imaginary FIDs after the delivery of pulses along each of the orthogonal axes. Note that the phases of the real and imaginary FIDs depend on the pulse delivered. For example, after a 90°x pulse, the magnetization resides on the -y axis. The real FID (along the -y axis) starts at a maximum (cosine) and the imaginary FID (along the x axis) starts at zero (sine) and increases as the magnetization vector rotates anti-clockwise. The Fourier transform of the complex FID produces a real spectrum (typically the one displayed to the user) and an imaginary spectrum (typically not displayed to the user). Note that the degree of absorption vs. dispersion character in the spectrum depends on the phase of the FID signals. If an NMR spectrum is not in phase, perhaps due to a receiver dead time problem, it can be corrected after the collection of the data by calculating the phase angles needed to put the real spectrum enitirely in absorption mode and the imaginary spectrum entirely in dispersion mode.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] same parameters but difference in phase why?
same parameters but difference in phase why? hi, though this question seems to be easy for you but i am new for this software and to this field. Recently, i took silicon spectra in 500mhz(bruker) seems to be good (i.e.one silicon peak and one nmr tubes broad peak) but when i used same parameters for another sample where i got single peak as i expected but nmr tube peak is inverse this time. I just copied previous parameters only why i got such a inverse signal.If anybody know please help me. thank you Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] First-Order Phase Errors
First-Order Phase Errors The phase of a signal in an NMR spectrum is described here and is determined by the axis on which the magnetization vector resides after the observe pulse relative to the receiver. The phase of the spectrum is typically corrected such that the peak in the real spectrum is entirely in absorption mode while that in the imaginary spectrum is entirely in dispersion mode. The correction in phase is referred to as the zero-order phase correction. A zero-order phase correction applies to all peaks in the spectrum regardless of their offset, ?, from resonance. There are...

Within the bilayer form, laterally separated phases may be induced as a result of surface electrostatic associations, thermotropic behaviour, lipid-protein interactions or because of molecular mismatch between chemically distinct...
