6. MRI: A Medicinal Application of NMR Magnetic Resonance Imaging: MRI Scanner: large magnet; coils to excite nuclei, modify magnetic field, and receive Signals Different tissues yield different signals Signals are separated into components by Fourier transform analysis Each component is a specific site of origin in the patient  a cross-sectional image of the patient’s body How it works: Most signals originate from hydrogens of Water molecules Water is bound to different organs in different way  variation of signal among organs & variation between healthy and diseased tissue MRI showing a vertical Cross section through a Human head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

7. MRI: A Medicinal Application of NMR Some Magnetic Resonance Imaging Uses: Detailed images of blood vessels Examine the vascular tree Differentiate intracelluar and extracelluar edema  stroke patients Detecting cancer, inflammation, tumors Current research: 31 P nuclei analysis: investigate celluar metabolism (ATP and ADP) MRI showing a vertical Cross section through a Human head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

8. Spectroscopy 1 H NMR: Determine bond connectivities/pieces of a structure, whole structure 13C NMR: Types of carbons (DEPT) IR: Determine the functional groups present in a structure: -OH, C=O, C-O, NH 2, C=C, C  C, C=N, C  N

9. IR Spectroscopy Main Use: To detect the presence or absence of a functional group (specific bonds) in a molecule How It Works: 1. Bonds vibrate freely at specific wavelengths (wavenumbers) 2. Want to cause the bonds to increase the magnitude of this vibrational frequency 3. Subject compound to IR radiation, 4000-625 cm -1 cm -1 is the unit for wavenumber ( ) is directly proportional to energy (unlike wavelength) 4. Bonds absorb energy equal to their natural vibrational energy - it is quantized. This absorption of energy causes a change in dipole moment for the bond. 5. Upon absorption, bonds stretch and/or bend; the IR measures this absorption.

10. Vibrational Modes of Bonds Stretches are more noted than bends

11. Correlation Chart Specific bonds absorb specific IR radiation and signals will appear within certain wavenumber ranges (similar to NMR). Note: O-H stretches are broader than N-H stretches N-H Stretches: 1° Amines (RNH 2 ) has two peaks 2° Amines (RNHR) has one peak 3° Amines (NR 3 ) has no peaks

12. IR Correlation Chart Specific bonds absorb specific IR radiation and signals will appear within certain wavenumber ranges (similar to NMR).

13. A: O-H stretch (strong, broad) C: C-H stretch (strong, sharp) E: C  C or C  N stretch (sharp) F: C=O stretch (strong, medium to sharp) G: C=C stretch (sharp) J: C-O stretch (strong, medium) K: C-X stretch (sharp)

Refer to correlation chart. Broad peak at 3100-3400 cm -1  Strong, sharp peak at 1700 cm -1 
