NMR Deuterated Solvent Properties Reference Chart

Common Solvent Peak Coupling and Chemical Shift Values

Use the chart below to look up the coupling values — J_HD and J_CD(J_CF) distance between multiplet peaks in hertz (Hz) — and chemical shift delta values — ð_H(Mult)^b and ð_c(Mult)^b in parts per million (ppm) — of NMR solvents by name or CAS number. Molecular weight, density (25 °C), melting point (mp), and boiling point (bp) are also given.

NMR Solvents Reference Data

^a Melting and boiling points (in °C) are those of the corresponding natural abundance compound (except for D2O) and are intended only to indicate the useful liquid range of the materials. ^b The multiplicity “br” indicates a broad peak without resolvable fine structure, while “m” denotes a broad peak with fine structure.
