No previous exposure to iNMR is required to follow this tutorial.The pictures you will see have been generated with version 2.4.2.With older incarnations of iNMR you can get the same results, but through a differentsequence of commands.
Our purpose is to measure the integrals of two multiplets on top of a hump (thewater signal). It can be argued that what we are doing is not necessary, becausethe eye of a spectroscopist can reach the sameresult in a fraction of second. This is a primer and the example had to be simple.The fact that visual inspection leads to the same results should increase your confidenceinto the method, therefore this is an ideal spectrum for a primer.Once you have mastered the tools described here, you'llbe able to solve more difficult cases.
The article includes step-by-step instructions,comments and further hints. It is easy-to-follow just because it's so long.The tutorial itself can be repeated in one or two minutes.It takes more to say it that to make it.
The pictures are conveniently small for a web site. When working at your computer,you are warmly invited to zoom all the windows up to their maximum allowed size.You can also close the iNMR palette, because we aren't going to use it, this time.iNMR is pleasure: the larger the windows, the bigger the pleasure.
Download this archive on your hard disc and decompress itwith a double click. It contains a Bruker spectrum (a folder) whose origin doesn't matter.It's a proton spectrum acquired in DMSO-d6. It's our raw material.

May 22, 2020 The iNMR reader is a steal at a total cost of 50 Euros, and the full version is worth the price for what it does. I love how quickly I can do line-listings in JACS format for H and CNMRs and how easy it is to process different spectrometer formats (Varian/ Bruker) (it's like the program doesnt even notice).

Open the Spectrum

Open iNMR and, through it, open any of the files of the decompressed folder.The spectrum has already been processed. A simple, first-order, baseline correctionhas been applied.The water signal is centered at 4.09 ppm.It is closely surrounded by the two multiplets we are going to integrate.All the integral regions are already defined and the integral values normalized.It's important to normalize the integrals before starting the line-fitting module, becausethe latter will automatically inherit the same normalization factorand the final results will be expressed in the sameunits. We'll be able to compare the results of best-fitting directly with theother integrals of the spectrum.When the integrals arenot normalized, the values are instead expressed as percentage of the total area.

Select the Region to Fit

Select the gray region shown below. To select a region click and drag the mouse. Artoon 1 11.

OPTIONAL: If you want to reproduce the same identical results of this article, there isa more complicated alternative to click-and-dragging:

• Open the console with the combination Cmd-zero and type:
• region( 3.6497, 4.5274 )
• Press <Return>; press <esc>; close the console.

Look how two tiny spikes on the tails of the water signalare left outside the selection.While it is advantageous, in general, to fit as many experimental points as possible, there is nonecessity to sample the whole line-shape. Our model spectrum will only contain peaks ofregular shape. It's impossible to formulate a model that explains the spikes, thereforeit's better to avoid them. We are still forced to sample the biggestspike at 4.24 ppm, unfortunately! When the selection is gray, issue the menu command“Simulate/Deconvolution”. A new window appears, containing the capturedregion.

Improve the Automatic Guess

The program suggests an initial number of peaks. This initial guess is terribly cursory,with a reason. iNMR tries, at the first attempt, to include not only the peaks, but also theshoulders into the model. Unfortunately, with such a noisy spectrum and such a broad peak, almost every point corresponds toa shoulder and iNMR gets fooled.We have the option, however, to generate the initial model froma smoothed version of the spectrum. Click the icon “smooth”. Click it again. Clickit a third time. Something happens each time. At the end your window will be exactlyas shown here:

Simulate the Water Signal

The number of peaks is now nearer to reality, but manually adjustment is still necessary. The upper part of the modulecontains a table. Select the row that begins with a “6” (click on the digit “6”).The correspondingpeak will become red. Four little square handles mark the peak and let you move or resize it.Drag the bottom handle to the left, until it corresponds to the center of the water signal:

Drag down the top handle, until it coincides with the top of the water peak. Drag either of theside handles to enlarge the red peak. We can't make it as large as we need:the maximum allowed by iNMR is less than the experimental width.Don't worry: it's enough for an initial guess.
