CHM 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Advanced NMR Spectroscopy

4 credits (Fall)

Students will learn the theory behind NMR spectroscopy and to implement and interpret advanced experiments examining the dynamic structure of organic and inorganic molecules. Topics to be covered include vector and product operator descriptions of the NMR phenomenon, Fourier transformation and window functions, multi-dimensional spectroscopy, relaxation and the nuclear Overhauser effect, and coherence selection using phase cycling and gradients. The laboratory component will explore foundational experiments and the elucidation of complex structures using NMR spectroscopy.

Prerequisite: CHM 222 or CHM 232; with grade S, C, or better. CHM 363 recommended.
