C-13 nmr spectrum of benzene analysis of chemical shifts ppm interpretation of C-13 chemical shifts ppm of benzene doc brown's advanced organic chemistry revision notes

TMS is the acronym for tetramethylsilane, formula Si(CH₃)₄, whose ¹³C atoms are arbitrarily given a chemical shift of 0.0 ppm. This is the 'standard' in ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and all other ¹³C shifts, called chemical shifts, depend on the individual (electronic) chemical environment of the ¹³C atoms in an organic molecule - benzene here.

Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectrum of benzene C₆H₆

As you can see from the diagram above there is only one chemical shift line in the C-13 NMR spectrum of benzene (at 128 ppm) indicating only one chemical environment of all carbon atoms.

So, all six ring carbons are equivalent to each other.

This C-13 NMR spectrum of benzene fits in with modern view of it being a completely symmetrical planar hexagonal molecule with all the carbon atoms in the same chemical environment - all bound by the same symmetrical delocalised electron system of the pi orbitals (diagram below)
