3. Differences between NMR and ESR
1)Resonant Frequency
One important difference between NMR and ESR is that in ESR the resonant frequencies tend to
be much higher, by virtue of the 659-times higher gyromagnetic ratio of an unpaired electron
relative to a proton. For example, a typical magnetic field strength used in ESR spectrometers is
0.35 T, with a corresponding resonant frequency of about 9.8 GHz. This frequency range is
known as "X-band", and the spectrometer as an "X-band ESR spectrometer". Such spectrometers
are readily available "off the shelf" from a (small) number of commercial sources.
X-band ESR spectrometers are typically used to study small solid samples, or non-aqueous
solutions up to a few hundred μL in volume. They cannot be used for biological samples, or for
in vivo studies, because of the strong non-resonant absorption of microwaves at 9.8 GHz. For
that reason, ESR spectrometers (and imagers) have been constructed to operate at lower
magnetic fields, and correspondingly lower frequencies, including at "L-band" (about 40 mT and
1 GHz) to study mice and "radiofrequency" (about 10 mT and 300 MHz) to study rats.
2) Relaxation Times
The second important difference between NMR and ESR is the typical relaxation times
encountered. In bio-medical proton NMR the relaxation times T1 and T2 are typically of the order
of 0.1 to 1 sec. In bio-medical ESR the equivalent electron relaxation times are a million times
shorter, i.e. 0.1 to 1 μsec! The extremely short relaxation times have important implications on
the way in which ESR measurements are carried out.

NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) involves the interaction of atomic nuclei with a magnetic field, providing information on the local chemical environment of molecules. ESR (electron spin resonance) studies the behavior of unpaired electrons in a magnetic field, offering insights into the electronic structure of molecules. Both techniques are powerful tools in chemical analysis, but they target different aspects of molecular structure.
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy measures the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by nuclei in a magnetic field, providing structural and chemical information about molecules. FT-NMR (Fourier Transform-NMR) is a technique that enhances the speed and sensitivity of NMR by using Fourier transformation to convert the time-domain signal into a frequency-domain spectrum, allowing for higher resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio. Essentially, FT-NMR is a more advanced and efficient method of performing NMR spectroscopy.
In NMR spectroscopy, HSQC and HMQC experiments are both used to correlate signals from different nuclei in a molecule. The main difference between them is that HSQC correlates proton signals with carbon signals, while HMQC correlates proton signals with other heteronuclei signals, such as nitrogen or phosphorus.
In NMR spectroscopy, HMQC and HSQC experiments are both used to correlate proton and carbon signals in molecules. The main difference between the two experiments lies in the type of nuclei they correlate. HMQC correlates protons with directly bonded carbons, while HSQC correlates protons with directly bonded heteronuclei, such as nitrogen or phosphorus.
Complex splitting in NMR can be explained and understood by considering the interactions between neighboring nuclei in a molecule. When neighboring nuclei have different spin states, they can influence each other's magnetic fields, leading to the splitting of NMR signals into multiple peaks. This splitting pattern can be analyzed using the concept of coupling constants, which describe the strength of the interactions between nuclei. By understanding these interactions and coupling constants, researchers can interpret complex splitting patterns in NMR spectra to determine the structure and connectivity of molecules.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a common organic solvent, whereas DMSO-d6 is a deuterated form of DMSO used in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent. The "d6" indicates that the hydrogen atoms in DMSO have been replaced with deuterium, making it suitable for NMR analysis due to the absence of NMR-active protons.

Proton nmr has spin half nuclei. Deuterium NMR has spin 1 nuclei. One difference would be that hydrogen signals would not be split by fluorine (or phosphorus) in a molecule if it was Deuterium nmr. Another key difference is if it was an unenriched sample, deuterium NMR would be very weak (way less sensitive) compared to proton as it is very much less abundant naturally than hydrogen (1% or so)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (NMR) is the term used in the sciences, e.g. in probing chemical structures, however the term "nuclear" is toxic to some people and the medical profession dropped the term and use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or MR when NMR is used to study the structure of organs in the body. The same physical priciples apply
basically, the higher the MHz value, the stronger the magnet, meaning less distortion and cleaner spectra.
they dont have a relationship at all.

Protons are abundant in organic molecules, which makes proton NMR more sensitive and commonly used. 13C nuclei have a lower natural abundance and are less sensitive in NMR, requiring longer acquisition times and higher concentrations for analysis. However, 13C NMR provides complementary structural information and can help in resolving complex spectra.

'COSY NMR' stands for 'Correlation Spectroscopy Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.' It is a technique used in NMR spectroscopy to establish correlations between different protons in a molecule, providing information about the connectivity of atoms within a molecule. This method is particularly useful in determining the structure of organic compounds.
The resonance frequency of hydrogen is approximately 1420.4 MHz when it undergoes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This frequency corresponds to the energy difference between the two spin states of the proton in the hydrogen atom. NMR is a powerful analytical technique used in chemistry and medicine for studying molecular structures and dynamics.
