Definitions:

Nuclear Spin States

The quantum mechanical states related to the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of nuclei, which can influence the magnetic properties and behavior of atoms in a magnetic field.

90 MHz

Frequency commonly associated with the radio frequency range, specifically within the VHF band.

Chemically Equivalent

Describes atoms or groups in a molecule that are identical in their chemical environment, often resulting in indistinguishable spectroscopic signals.

Diastereotopic

Describes hydrogen atoms (or groups) in a molecule that are not equivalent in the three-dimensional space, causing different chemical shifts in NMR spectroscopy.
