CH 529 NMR Spectroscopy & Lab
The theory and principles of nuclear magnetic resonance and spectroscopy are presented to allow the physical and chemical properties of molecules, particularly organic, to be examined. Detailed information about molecular structure, dynamics, properties, and chemical environment not only in chemistry but also in biochemical and medical compound synthesis and applications are presented, analyzed, and discussed. The lab is a hands-on introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy. Students will gain experience with a wide range of techniques on a high field (400 MHz) NMR spectrometer. They will also have the opportunity to manipulate NMR data using provided software designed specifically for our spectrometer. By the end of the course the student will be proficient in use of NMR spectrometry as applied to a variety of organic compounds.
