Carbon-13 NMR satellite

Carbon-13 NMR satellite peaks are associated with the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of carbon-13, a stable isotope of carbon. In NMR spectroscopy, carbon-13 is commonly used to study the structure and dynamics of organic molecules because it provides valuable information about the environment of carbon atoms within a molecule. In a typical NMR experiment, each carbon-13 nucleus can interact not just with the magnetic field but also with neighboring nuclei, such as protons (hydrogens).
