Fair use rationale for Image:NMR table.JPG
Image:NMR table.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Vanillin is a horrible compound for an example of NMR because protons D and E are identical chemical shifts, yet different environments. A different example should be used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.22.193 (talk) 00:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The vanillin spectrum picture was deleted from Wikimedia because of questionable copyright status. I inserted two H-1 NMR spectra images into this article, one of menthols in the introduction and one of ethyl acetate further down.  H Padleckas (talk) 03:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Please clarify a paragraph
I'm having a hard time figuring out what is meant by this sentence (found in the "Spin-spin couplings" section):

The peak in the spectrum would be split into ten lines according to the (n + 1) rule of multiplicity.

Where did the number "ten" come from, and what is a "line" in this context? What is the "(n+1) rule of multiplicity"?

I just added a sentence below the pascal's triangle that clarifies. Or at least explains more:) DMacks (talk) 05:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That clarifies a bit (though I have since read it elsewhere). I still take issue with the use of the word "line".  Now that I've done further reading elsewhere, I understand how it is used, but in the context of this article, it is not explained that each "sub-peak" is referred to as a line.  When I first read the article, it didn't make sense to me. --68.20.214.52 (talk) 16:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I made a small additional change. The rest of the article uses "peaks" to describe the individual lines of a multiplet, and the sentence under discussion used "lines". I changed it to "peaks". I think most NMR spectroscopists (in fact all types of spectroscopists who observe sharp absorptions) use "lines" in this context, but to do so here would require switching to "lines" throughout the article. I also added a bit on when the simple first-order rules outlined in the section fail. There should probably be much more here, considering the importance of NMR spectroscopy in chemistry. May tackle it sometime, and also add some better spectra (I have plenty that are not copyright restricted).ChemistHans (talk) 19:02, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect info!
Can someone please clarify the "satellites are always caused by 13C nuclei" part - a blatant untruth! Nessa Carson (talk) 15:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
