Abstract: In this study, 1H and 13C NMR spectra of three cephalosporins, cefotetan disodium, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime, were acquired and assigned. It was observed that the 13C NMR spectrum of cefotetan disodium showed evident signal splitting when DMSO-d6 was used as the solvent and such signal splitting was absent with D2O as the solvent. The results of variable temperature 13C NMR spectroscopy further demonstrated that the splitting of cefotetan disodium 13C signals was caused by that fact the compound has different conformations in DMSO-d6.

Key words: NMR, chemical shift assignment, cefotetan disodium, ceftriaxone
