- ¹H NMR spectra are obtained using samples dissolved in deuterated solvents or CCl₄.
- Use ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra and chemical shift data from the Chemistry Data Booklet to suggest possible structures or part structures for molecules.
- Use integration data from ¹H NMR spectra to determine the relative numbers of equivalent protons in the molecule.
- Use the n+1 rule to deduce the spin–spin splitting patterns of adjacent, non-equivalent protons, limited to doublet, triplet and quartet formation in aliphatic compounds.
