Build Your NMR Map from Your Notes

Start from your course material and let the AI organize the key ideas into branches you can explore.

Upload your lecture material

Add a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or text notes covering your NMR course, and the map follows your syllabus.

Branches for each NMR concept

Spin states, shielding, integration and multiplicity each get their own branch so you can see how they connect.

Quiz and flashcards from the map

Turn the finished map into a quiz to test spectrum reading, or make flashcards from the same notes.

How to Make an NMR Mind Map

Three steps take you from scattered notes to a map you can revise from.

  1. 1

    Add your notes or topic

    Upload your NMR slides or notes, or type a topic such as proton NMR interpretation.

  2. 2

    AI builds the map

    CogniGuide organizes the material into a branching map of concepts and their details.

  3. 3

    Study, expand and quiz

    Expand any node with AI, edit the text, export as PNG or PDF, or turn the map into a quiz.

NMR Spectroscopy Concept Map Overview

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy identifies molecular structure by measuring how atomic nuclei with spin absorb radio-frequency energy in a strong magnetic field. The main ideas split into the physics of spin, the chemical information in each signal, and the steps for interpreting a spectrum.

  • Nuclear spin: nuclei with odd mass or charge align with the field.
  • Chemical shift: the position of a peak reflects its local electronic environment.
  • Spin-spin coupling: neighboring protons split peaks into multiplets.
  • Integration: peak area shows the relative number of equivalent nuclei.
  • Spectrum interpretation: combining shift, splitting and integration to deduce structure.

Use this map to review before an exam, then check each branch against your own notes. CogniGuide can build a personalized NMR mind map from your files in a few minutes.

NMR Spectroscopy Questions

Answers to common questions about NMR and how to map it.

What does chemical shift tell you in NMR?

Chemical shift shows where a signal appears on the spectrum, measured in ppm relative to a reference such as TMS. It reflects how shielded a nucleus is by nearby electrons, which helps identify functional groups.

What is spin-spin coupling in NMR?

Spin-spin coupling happens when nearby nuclei affect each other's magnetic environment, splitting a peak into a multiplet. The number of peaks usually follows the n+1 rule for n equivalent neighboring protons.

Which files can I use to make an NMR mind map?

You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type a topic such as carbon-13 NMR and generate a map from that.

Can I turn my NMR map into a quiz?

Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself on shifts, couplings and spectrum interpretation. There is a free plan with 5 creations a week.
