Nmr Analysis

NMR Spectrum Analysis

Process raw NMR free-induction decay (FID) data through apodization, zero-filling, Fourier transformation, and phase correction to obtain interpretable 1D and 2D spectra. Automate peak picking, chemical shift referencing, and J-coupling constant extraction using nmrglue and scipy.

When to Use This Skill

• You have raw NMR data in Bruker, Varian/Agilent, or JCAMP-DX format and need to convert it to a frequency-domain spectrum.
• You want to apply apodization (window functions) and zero-filling before Fourier transformation to improve resolution or sensitivity.
• You need automated peak picking on 1D or 2D NMR spectra and want results as a pandas DataFrame.
• You are performing chemical shift referencing against an internal standard (TMS, DSS, TSP) or a known solvent peak.
• You need to extract J-coupling constants from well-resolved multiplets using line shape fitting.
• You want to overlay, compare, or subtract spectra from different samples or experiments (titration, temperature series).

Background & Key Concepts

Free Induction Decay (FID)

The FID is the time-domain NMR signal recorded after a radiofrequency pulse. It is a sum of exponentially decaying sinusoids; each frequency corresponds to a resonance. The complex FID is Fourier-transformed to yield the frequency-domain spectrum.

Apodization (Window Functions)

Before Fourier transformation, a window function is multiplied with the FID to:

• Improve sensitivity (exponential multiplication — line broadening).
• Improve resolution (Lorentz-to-Gauss transformation — line narrowing).
• Reduce truncation artifacts (cosine/sine bells for 2D data).

Common window functions:

Zero-Filling

Appending zeros to the FID before Fourier transformation increases the number of spectral points and therefore digital resolution. Zero-filling by a factor of 2 is standard; zero-filling by 4–8 is used for high-resolution work.

Phase Correction

The spectrum has real (absorption) and imaginary (dispersion) components. Phase correction (zeroth-order P0 and first-order P1) ensures all peaks have pure absorption lineshapes, which are symmetric and integrable.

Chemical Shift Referencing

Chemical shifts in ppm are calculated relative to a reference compound:

• 1H / 13C: TMS (tetramethylsilane) at 0.00 ppm
• Aqueous solutions: DSS or TSP at 0.00 ppm
• 31P: H3PO4 at 0.00 ppm

J-Coupling Constants

Spin-spin coupling splits resonances into multiplets. The coupling constant J (in Hz) equals the frequency separation between adjacent lines of a first-order multiplet. Accurate J values require fitting each line of the multiplet with a Lorentzian.

Core Workflow

Step 1 — Load Raw FID and Inspect Parameters

print(f"FID dtype                    : {data.dtype}")

# Plot raw FID (real part)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 3))
ax.plot(data.real[:2048], lw=0.8, color="steelblue")
ax.set_xlabel("Point Index", fontsize=12)
ax.set_ylabel("Intensity (AU)", fontsize=12)

ax.grid(alpha=0.3)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("raw_fid.png", dpi=150)
plt.show()

Step 2 — FID Processing (Apodization, Zero-Filling, FT, Phase Correction)

import nmrglue as ng
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

DATA_DIR = "/path/to/bruker/experiment"
dic, data = ng.bruker.read(DATA_DIR)

# Remove digital filter group delay (Bruker-specific)
data = ng.bruker.remove_digital_filter(dic, data)

# ----- Apodization -----
# Lorentz-to-Gauss transformation: lb < 0 (line narrowing), gb > 0 (Gaussian)
data_apod = ng.proc_base.gm(data, g1=0.1, g2=0.1, g3=0.0)   # Gaussian multiply
# Alternative — exponential multiplication (sensitivity mode):
# data_apod = ng.proc_base.em(data, lb=0.3)   # lb in Hz

# ----- Zero-filling -----
# Double the number of points
n_td = data.shape[-1]
data_zf = ng.proc_base.zf_size(data_apod, n_td * 2)

# ----- Fourier Transform -----
data_ft = ng.proc_base.fft(data_zf)

# ----- Phase Correction (manual values) -----
# Determine P0, P1 empirically or from instrument file
P0 = 0.0    # zeroth-order phase (degrees)
P1 = 0.0    # first-order phase (degrees)
data_ph = ng.proc_base.ps(data_ft, p0=P0, p1=P1)

# ----- Reverse spectrum (if needed) -----
data_final = ng.proc_base.rev(data_ph)

print(f"Processed spectrum shape: {data_final.shape}")

# Build ppm axis using udic
udic = ng.bruker.guess_udic(dic, data_final)
uc = ng.fileiobase.uc_from_udic(udic)
ppm_axis = uc.ppm_scale()

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 4))

# Assume data_final and ppm_axis from Step 2 are available

    noise = np.median(np.abs(spectrum[baseline_mask]))
else:

Step 4 — Chemical Shift Referencing

import nmrglue as ng
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# Reference compound ppm value and expected ppm position
REF_COMPOUND = "TMS"
REF_EXPECTED_PPM = 0.00       # target ppm

# Compute the required shift correction
ppm_correction = REF_EXPECTED_PPM - REF_OBSERVED_PPM
print(f"Referencing against {REF_COMPOUND}: shift correction = {ppm_correction:.4f} ppm")

# Apply correction to ppm axis
ppm_axis_ref = ppm_axis + ppm_correction

# Apply correction to peak list
df_peaks["Chemical Shift Referenced (ppm)"] = (
    df_peaks["Chemical Shift (ppm)"] + ppm_correction
)

print("\nReferenced peak list:")
print(df_peaks[["Chemical Shift Referenced (ppm)", "Intensity"]].to_string(index=True))

# Verify reference peak is now at 0.00 ppm
ref_peak_corrected = REF_OBSERVED_PPM + ppm_correction
print(f"\nReference peak after correction: {ref_peak_corrected:.4f} ppm (expected 0.000)")

df_peaks.to_csv("peak_list_referenced.csv", index=False)

NMRPipe Format Export

import nmrglue as ng
import numpy as np

# Convert processed spectrum to NMRPipe format for further analysis
udic_pipe = ng.bruker.guess_udic(dic, data_final)

# Write NMRPipe file
ng.pipe.write("spectrum.ft2", ng.pipe.create_dic(udic_pipe), data_final.real)
print("Exported spectrum.ft2 in NMRPipe format")

Troubleshooting

FileNotFoundError: acqus or fid not found

# Ensure you point to the numbered experiment directory, not the sample directory
ls /path/to/bruker/sample/1/   # should contain: fid, acqus, procs/

# Correct path usage
dic, data = ng.bruker.read("/path/to/bruker/sample/1")   # experiment directory

Spectrum Appears Inverted or Backwards

# Reverse the spectrum if frequency axis runs backwards
data_final = ng.proc_base.rev(data_final)
# Or flip the ppm axis:
ppm_axis = ppm_axis[::-1]

Phase Correction Looks Wrong

Use an automated first-order phase correction algorithm:

# Automatic phase correction (entropy minimization)
data_ph, p0_auto, p1_auto = ng.proc_autophase.autops(
    data_ft, "acme", p0=0.0, p1=0.0
)
print(f"Auto P0={p0_auto:.2f}°, P1={p1_auto:.2f}°")

Peak Picker Finds Too Many or Too Few Peaks

Adjust the noise threshold multiplier:

# More conservative (fewer false positives)
threshold = 10.0 * noise

# More permissive (detects weak peaks)
threshold = 3.0 * noise

# Increase minimum inter-peak separation to avoid splitting broad peaks
peaks_idx, _ = find_peaks(spectrum, height=threshold, distance=15)

Bruker Digital Filter Removal Fails

# Fallback: skip digital filter removal and trim manually
data_trimmed = data[64:]   # discard first 64 points (typical for 500/600 MHz)

2D Spectrum Has Sinc Wiggles

Apply stronger apodization before FT:

# Stronger cosine bell for indirect dimension
data2d = ng.proc_base.sp(data2d, off=0.45, end=0.98, pow=2, dim=0)
