For the majority of users conducting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy today, sample preparation follows a similar path: isolate a compound or compounds from a reaction mixture (or if ...

A general tip for safely using solvents is to try to reduce the severity of the effects by reducing the time of exposure, the amount you’re exposed to, and the concentration of what you are using.

NMR spectra are typically collected in solutions made up of deuterated solvents due to the fact that a protonated solvent will yield large solvent peaks which may hide the solute’s spectral features.
