For my Thesis I use the chemmacros Package to typeset my analysis. Unfortunatetly it is common in our group to have a different position when talking about H and C-NMRs. At the moment I have the following output, when compiling the code below:

1H-NMR: δ = 123 (H-10) 13C-NMR: δ = 123 (C-10)

What I would like to have is something like

1H-NMR: δ = 123 (10-H) 13C-NMR: δ = 123 (C-10)

I found that with version 4.3 you are able to define the atom position with the argument \@firstofone, but even with this information I was not able to achieve the goal, since I coudn't quite figure out what kind of argument this is. I also tried the solution proposed here Chemmacros Experimental Environment Superscript

But I also couldnt get the desired output. Thanks in advance!

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{chemmacros}

\chemsetup[nmr]{use-equal,format=\bfseries,pos-number=side}

\DeclareChemNMR\HNMR{1,H}
\DeclareChemNMR\CNMR{13,C}

\chemsetup[nmr]{use-equal,format=\bfseries,pos-number=side}

\begin{document}

\begin{experimental}

  \HNMR \val{123} (\pos{10})    
  \CNMR \val{123} (\pos{10})

\end{experimental}

\end{document}

    Hi and welcome to teX.SX. Do want this to aplly to only H? – Johannes_B Sep 15 '14 at 09:08

    Welcome to TeX.sx! This is not implemented in chemmacros as of now. I'll post an answer how to solve this as soon as I have the time. – cgnieder Sep 15 '14 at 09:10
  • Thanks for welcoming me, and yes for the H would be sufficient. The reasoning behind is, that H's are attached to the numbers whereas the C's are the numbers in the molecule. @cgnieder Thanks for your reply too, and if I put it in two environments, would that be possible then? – danleich Sep 15 '14 at 09:19

For this to work you'll need to redefine \chemmacros_nmr_position:n. Below I propose a solution that checks if the current nucleus is H and typesets the position accordingly. (But it leaves the pos-number option to have no effect any more.)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{chemmacros}

\NewChemNMR\HNMR{1,H}
\NewChemNMR\CNMR{13,C}

\chemsetup[nmr]{use-equal,format=\bfseries,pos-number=side}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\tl_const:Nn \c_danleich_hydrogen_tl {H}
\cs_set_protected:Npn \chemmacros_nmr_position:n #1
  {
    \tl_if_eq:NNTF
      \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl
      \c_danleich_hydrogen_tl
      {
        \__chemmacros_nmr_position:n {#1}
        -
        \chemmacros_chemformula:V \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl
      }
      {
        \chemmacros_chemformula:V \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl
        -
        \__chemmacros_nmr_position:n {#1}
      }
  }
\ExplSyntaxOff

\begin{document}

\begin{experimental}
  \HNMR \val{123} (\pos{10})    
  \CNMR \val{123} (\pos{10})
\end{experimental}

\end{document}

BTW: if you always put parentheses around \pos you could include them in the definition:

\ExplSyntaxOn
\tl_const:Nn \c_danleich_hydrogen_tl {H}
\cs_set_protected:Npn \chemmacros_nmr_position:n #1
  {
    \tl_if_eq:NNTF
      \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl
      \c_danleich_hydrogen_tl
      {
        (\__chemmacros_nmr_position:n {#1}
        -
        \chemmacros_chemformula:V \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl)
      }
      {
        (\chemmacros_chemformula:V \g__chemmacros_nmr_element_tl
        -
        \__chemmacros_nmr_position:n {#1})
      }
  }
\ExplSyntaxOff
