nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as nmr spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. the sample is placed in a magnetic field and the nmr signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. the intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups. as the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds, in modern organic chemistry practice, nmr spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds. similarly, biochemists use nmr to identify proteins and other complex molecules. besides identification, nmr spectroscopy provides detailed information about the structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of molecules. the most common types of nmr are proton and carbon-13 nmr spectroscopy, but it is applicable to any kind of sample that contains nuclei possessing spin.

nmr spectroscopy of a sample produces an nmr spectrum, which is essentially a graph of signal intensity on the vertical axis vs. chemical shift for a certain isotope on the horizontal axis. the signal intensity is dependent on the number of exactly equivalent nuclei in the sample at that chemical shift. nmr spectra are taken to analyze one isotope of nuclei at a time. only certain types of isotopes of certain elements show up in nmr spectra. only these isotopes cause nmr coupling. nuclei of atoms having the same equivalent positions within a molecule also do not couple with each other. h (proton) nmr spectroscopy and c nmr spectroscopy analyze h and c nuclei, respectively, and are the most common types (most common analyte isotopes which show signals) of nmr spectroscopy.
