Fast Visual Guide to process routine 1D-NMR datasets

You will find the quinine datasets by following the menu 'File/Help/Download Example datasets'.

Go through the following procedure to process a routine 1D-NMR spectrum:

1. Drag and drop the folder containing the FID file into Mnova to get your spectrum fully processed. If the folder contains a .mol file, the molecular structure will be also displayed. (You can also follow the menu 'File/Open')

2. If your spectrum is not referenced, you can calibrate it by clicking on the 'Reference' button (under the analysis Ribbon) and then selecting the peak you want to be a reference point.

3. Click on the 'Baseline Correction' icon to correct the Baseline of your spectrum.

4. To paste the Parameters Table on the spectral window, just follow the menu: 'View/Tables/Parameters' and click on the 'Report' icon. Please bear in mind that you can resize any object by just clicking and dragging on any border. In this case the spectrum has been resized in order to put the table at the right side of the page.

5. Apply an automatic multiplet analysis by clicking on the 'Multiplet Analysis' icon . It will apply an automatic Peak Picking analysis with solvent and impurities recognition. As you can see in the example below the CDCl3 signal has been detected and its peak label appears in red.

6. Double click on the multiplet box to normalize the 'multiplet integral' values:

7. To obtain the multiplet report list just right click on the multiplet box and select 'Report Multiplets':

Please bear in mind that you can freely move any Mnova object just by clicking&dragging. In the example above we have moved the molecular structure and the multiplet report

8. You can copy the multiplet report to the clipboard by right clicking on the multiplet box and selecting 'Copy Multiplets' (or by selecting 'Copy Text' on the Multiplet Table) and then paste the report in another document just by using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V in Mac).

9. Finally, you will be able to save, print or export to PDF, the document by clicking on the applicable icon under the 'file ribbon' (or on the toolbar):
