NMR Spectroscopy introduction level

Molecular Structure and Dynamics by NMR Spectroscopy in solution state

Course content:

The course contains 5 topics covering the followings

  1. Basic principles of NMR spectroscopy, the spectrometer
  2. Spectral parameters (chemical shift, couplings)
  3. Relaxation, 13C-NMR, Polarization transfer experiments,
    Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)
  4. 2D-NMR spectroscopy, Protocol for routine structure determination
  5. Dynamic NMR Spectroscopy

Additional to the lectures a significant amount of time will be spent on solving problems and answering questions.

Learning objectives:

It is a practice oriented course to develop knowledge and understanding of the application of various one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments to gives the skills to elucidate structures and solve kinetic problems in solutions of small organic molecules.
