Carbon-13 NMR

13C is only 1.1% abundant with a low gyromagnetic ratio, so spectra need signal averaging and are run with broadband proton decoupling, collapsing every carbon to a singlet over a ~0-220 ppm shift range. Each line marks a distinct carbon environment; symmetry-related carbons overlap, and integrals are unreliable because relaxation and NOE differ per carbon.
