Course content

The course presents an overview of the (fundamental) principles of modern NMR (spectroscopy) and its application within organic chemistry. NMR puls techniques are presented. Multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and NMR applications within static and dynamic structure derterminations are reviewed. Selected examples of published applications are discussed.

Learning outcome

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has become of tremendous importance for the structure elucidation of complicated structures both in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is in particular due to the development of new methods for recording of spectra. The course gives an introduction to advanced NMR techniques and their practical application.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures (3 hours per week) and exercises (1 hour per week). For extraordinary or re-sit examinations, written examination may be changed to oral examination. Lectures and exercises are in English. The examination paper will only be given in English, and the answers have to be given in English as well.

Required previous knowledge

The course KJ2022 or corresponding courses.
