Nuclei having the same
resonance frequency in nuclear magnetic
resonancespectroscopy and also identical spin-spin interactions with the nuclei of a neighbouring group
are magnetically equivalent. The spin-spin interaction between magnetically equivalent
nuclei does not appear, and thus has no effect on the multiplicity of the respective
NMR signals. Magnetically equivalent nuclei are necessarily also chemically equivalent,
but the reverse is not necessarily true.
