The C-13 NMR spectrum of the stereoisomer Z-pent-2-ene (cis-2-pentene)

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 - E-pent-2-ene and Z-pent-2-ene here.

Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectrum of E-pent-2-ene and Z-pent-2-ene

As you can see from the diagram above there are 5 different chemical shift lines in the C-13 NMR spectrum of both E-pent-2-ene and Z-pent-2-ene indicating 5 different chemical environments of the carbon atoms.

Both carbon-13 NMR spectra are quite similar, the CH carbon atoms of the C=C double bond both have a larger 13C chemical shifts close together, whereas the other three carbon atoms of the linear carbon chain have similar and smaller shifts, also relatively close together.

CH3CH=CHCH2CH3

(Note the 5 colours indicating the 5 different chemical environments of the carbon atoms in E-pent-2-ene and Z-pent-2-ene).

The carbon-13 NMR spectra a provides direct evidence of 5 different carbon atom environments in both E-pent-2-ene and Z-pent-2-ene molecule from 5 different chemical shifts (ppm).
