Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Menu
The sections on 13C NMR and proton NMR are written so that they are entirely independent of each other. That means that you will find quite a lot of duplication in the "Background" pages for both techniques.
If you have a choice, start with 13C NMR. The spectra are a lot easier to interpret!

An explanation of how a 13C NMR spectrum arises, and the meaning of the term "chemical shift".
How a 13C NMR spectrum gives you information about the structure of a molecule.
Proton NMR
An explanation of how a proton (1H) NMR spectrum arises, and the meaning of the term "chemical shift".
How a low resolution NMR spectrum is used to identify where the hydrogen atoms in a molecule are. Read this before you go on to high resolution spectra.
Looks at the additional information which you can get from a high resolution NMR spectrum.
