14C030 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Organic Chemists

Scope

Introduction to high-resolution NMR for structure determination of organic molecules using : 1D and 2D NMR experiments, and other spectroscopic methods.

Content

• Importance of NMR and the basic principles of NMR spectroscopy
• 1D ¹H, ¹³C, and X (X=¹⁹F, ²⁹Si, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se) NMR experiments for organic molecules in solution
• Probing covalent bonds and connectivity in organic molecules (homonuclear and heteronuclear correlation NMR experiments)
• Correlations through space (important to provide information of the 3D molecular geometry)
• Probing dynamics with NMR
• Identification of organic compounds using NMR and other spectroscopy/spectrometry methods available. (Brief overview of mass spectrometry (MS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy).
