NMR Spectroscopy for Visual Learners

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an extremely useful technique, but it has a steep learning curve. This video should hopefully give you a good understanding of the fundamentals, to help you get started with NMR. I cover the theory behind how NMR works, I explain where the spectrum comes from, and I go through examples where I analyse various NMR spectra.

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that I now have posters available for the reaction schemes in this video:

Aliphatic reactions: rdbl.co/47y5oAk
Benzene reactions: rdbl.co/41W1qQM
Phenol reactions: rdbl.co/3NZc8QE

Perfect for learning organic chemistry (and supporting the channel at the same time!) 👨‍🔬

"You're an exceptional educator who has managed to cover the basics while delving into intricate details within a remarkably short span of time. Your ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible insights is truly impressive. I've never seen anyone explain things so thoroughly and effectively in a single lecture. Your teaching style is not only informative but also engaging, making it easier for students to grasp and retain the information. Kudos to you for your outstanding effort!"

Beautifully explained. I appreciate how you actually go into reasoning on why and how things work rather than just stating definitions. Cheers.

I can confidently say that you’ve saved my grade, thank you!

[thepineappleman]

Excellent video. Thanks to it I finally understand NMR. :)

[farnazghoreishi]

had never learned and heard NMR as well as you taught . THANKS

[baytulhikma]

One of the best nmr videos i have ever seen

[amaanakhtar]

This is actually sooo good, brother saved my grade for spectroscopy test !!!

[sabascott]

this is helpful, literally explained in 15 minutes what my prof tried and failed to do in weeks of thank you!

[frisbe]

Great Video! I will sent it to other Students who Need help With NMR. Your explanation is very good and understandable !

[mariamassi]

Best explanation out there!!! Thank you endlessly

[The_CommunistDoge]

I really wanted to thank you for this clear and concise explanation. I have my O-chem exam in a couple of days and for the life of me i couldn't figure out how to piece together a molecoule from a specter and vice versa. I knew all the teoretical bits about stretching and HOMO and LUMO but this practical part really puzzled me. Thank you for your part in educating the future chemists of the world and keep up the good work!

[tejasreya]

Incredibly well executed video! Thanks a bunch:)

[johnchrisndubuisi]

I'm soo proud of myself for solving the example correctly before you. Thanks a lot

[aastha]

That's the best video for learning NMR from scratch. Thanks, it helped me so much!!

[ihorpemakhov]

The questions I had on this topic are gone now because of this video. Author, thank you very much!

[Ignite_of_Lyfe]

such an excellent and easy to understand explanation. Thank you. and keep going with your good work.

[laugherror-yy]

U made it easy to understand. Great one before exams 😊

[Erebos-tr]

Thank you so much for your concise explanation, it saves so much time! Perfectly done!
