Why Is Cdcl3 Used in Nmr

In proton NMR spectroscopy, deuterated solvent (enriched to >99% deuterium) must be used to avoid recording a large interfering signal or signals from the proton(s) (i.e., hydrogen-1) present in the solvent itself.

Can CHCl3 used in NMR spectroscopy?

The most widely used example of such a solvent is CDCl3 (chloroform-d, or “deuterochloro- form”), the deuterium analog of chloroform, CHCl3. This solvent is so widely used for NMR spectra that it is a relatively inexpensive article of commerce. Most of the spectra in this text were taken in CDCl3.

What kind of solvent is suitable for NMR spectroscopy?

Only the deutero-solvents are suitable for 1H NMR spectroscopy .
