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

Program Highlights

  • 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
