CQM - Centro de Química da Madeira

Na sequência do grande interesse revelado pelo público (mais de 400 visitantes) pelas atividades A QUÍMICA É DIVERTIDA (22 e 23 de Novembro) e A NOITE DA QUÍMICA (24 de Novembro), assim como das limitações impostas pelo mau tempo do sábado passado, o  Centro de Química da Madeira informa que estenderá estas atividades de divulgação da Química, realizando mais uma sessão destinada ao público em geral, a qual decorrerá na próxima quarta-feira, dia 28 de Novembro, das 17 às 19h, no Edifício da UMa do Colégio dos Jesuítas (Sala dos Arcos).

About the course

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is a ubiquitous technique throughout chemistry, physics, medicine and inter-lapping fields like nanotechnology and biochemistry. This technique takes advantage of the differences produced when a nuclei, exposed to a magnetic field, absorbs and then re-emits radiation in the radio frequency. This course will show the basics of 1D and 2D NMR as well as hands-on training with a Bruker Avance 400+ spectrometer.

General Program

• General Concepts
• Theoretical aspects of NMR spectroscopy
• NMR spectrometer
• Sample preparation and acquisition
• 1D processing
• ¹³C experiment and the Nuclear Overhouser effect (or other non-H).
• Introduction to 2D techniques and practical aspects.

Lecturer
