NMR Solvent Impurities

Is there a peak in your NMR spectrum you cannot assign? NMR Solvent Impurities is a fully offline reference for quickly identifying the residual signals of deuterated solvents and the trace impurities commonly met in the lab.

PEAK SEARCH • Single peak: choose the solvent, the chemical shift (ppm, ± tolerance) and the splitting (singlet, doublet, triplet, quartet, multiplet…). Exact matches come first, compatible splittings next; incompatible ones are left out. • Multiple peaks: enter several peaks from your spectrum with their splittings, or paste a list such as "2.05 s; 4.12 q; 1.26 t". Impurities are ranked by the number of matching signals, closeness and splitting agreement. • The solvent's own residual peaks and the water peak are searched too.

SOLVENTS • 20 deuterated solvents: residual ¹H and ¹³C peaks, J(H,D) and J(C,D) values, water/HOD peak, density, melting and boiling point, dielectric constant and storage conditions. • Temperature-dependent HDO shift calculator for D₂O.

IMPURITIES • More than 3000 ¹H and ¹³C values for 86 common impurities in 12 deuterated solvents. • Search by English or Turkish name, abbreviation (EtOAc, DCM, THF…) or formula. • The source publication of every value is shown.

CHEM21 GREEN CHEMISTRY GUIDE • Safety, health and environment scores of 75 solvents and their ranking from "recommended" to "highly hazardous". • An explanation of how the scores are obtained.

RECORDS • Save search results with a sample name, analysis date and note, and mark the impurities you identified in the spectrum. • Come back to your records any time, edit them, or copy them as text into your report. • Records are stored only on your device.
