Ethanol ¹H NMR Spectrum

Explore the HQSpectrum-simulated ¹H NMR spectrum of ethanol at 80 MHz. Ethanol is also known as ethyl alcohol.

Which nuclei contribute to the spectrum?

HQSpectrum uses matching colors to connect selected nuclei in the molecule drawing to their simulated signals. The contribution view helps you see which nuclei contribute to a peak, including individual parts of peaks where signals overlap. It shows selected simulated contributions, not a complete atom-by-atom assignment.

The 80 MHz simulation shows three separated signal regions, including a closely spaced group at the low-ppm end.

Compare with your spectrum or explore another frequency

Both images show an 80 MHz simulation. Chemical shifts are expressed in ppm, while multiplet appearance can change with field strength, particularly at low field. Typical ¹H NMR frequencies include 60, 80, 300, 400 and 500 MHz.

In HQSpectrum, set a different spectrometer frequency to explore how the simulated pattern changes. You can also import your own experimental spectrum and compare it with a simulation. Simulated chemical shifts can differ from measured values, so HQSpectrum lets you examine the pattern and adjust the comparison in the tool.
