What is peak assignment?
Assignment maps each observed resonance to a structural proton environment. It is a hypothesis supported by shift, multiplicity, integration, and consistency across the molecule.
Assign proton NMR peaks to atoms using chemical shifts, multiplicity and interactive visualization.
Paste peaks — assign with evidence. You stay in control.

Evidence-first peak assignment for ¹H NMR
Assignment maps each observed resonance to a structural proton environment. It is a hypothesis supported by shift, multiplicity, integration, and consistency across the molecule.
δ reports the electronic environment. Oxygen-, nitrogen-, and aromatic-adjacent protons appear downfield; remote alkyl groups appear upfield.
Splitting encodes neighbouring equivalent protons (n+1). A quartet next to a triplet is classic for an ethyl group.
Relative integrals approximate proton counts. Use them to decide CH₃ vs CH₂ vs CH once impurities are removed.
1) Mark solvent/impurity peaks. 2) Assign distinctive singlets. 3) Pair coupled multiplets. 4) Leave ambiguous peaks tentative.
