Description
Course content:
- Basic concepts
- Sample preparation and basic measurements
- Special techniques in 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopic measurements (coupled 13C, INEPT, DEPT, APT, solvent suppression etc.)
- 2D NMR spectroscopy (COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC etc)
- Stereochemical assignments (coupling constants, NOE related measurements)
- STD-measurements, DOSY, dynamic NMR
- Solid state NMR spectroscopy
- Heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy (P, F, N)
- Computational methods for NMR data processing
- Applications of NMR spectroscopy in structural elucidation of natural products, carbohydrates, biomaterials and polymers
