NMR animations

NMR animations using JSpecView applet with JCAMP-DX NMR files

The JSpecView applet can display spectra while molecular graphics can be displayed with MDL Chime, jmol and Marvin. To link between the two, it is possible to use JavaScripts, Rasmol or MDL Chime scripts to show the origin of the peaks.

The experimental NMR spectra were recorded and saved as JCAMP-DX files and scripts written to make the links between the spectrum and molecular graphic display. This process has been somewhat automated by using a set of authoring tools and the final display only requires the author to modify about 6 lines of a simple JavaScript file. Clicking on a peak in the NMR should highlight the peak and the appropriate C or H atoms.

Fully worked samples available so far include:

aspirin using MDL Chime
aspirin using jmol
aspirin using Marvin
aspirin using jmol (a quiz showing scores)
butyl bromide
cholesteryl acetate
ethyl benzoate using MDL Chime
eugenol, o-eugenol and iso-eugenol using jmol

A set of animations showing Mass Spectrum fragmentation and IR links using JSpecView has been developed as well.
