ADVANCED STUDIES IN NMR SPECTROSCOPY

Graduate

This course covers the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometry used in the determination of structures in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Major topics include the theory and use of NMR spectroscopy, in particular the use of 2D experiments and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy. Particular emphasis is placed on developing the students’ ability to interpret spectra and elucidate the structure of a molecule based on this evidence beyond the undergraduate level, as well as the role NMR has played as a structural tool in the pharmaceutical industry and academia. Students will have a practical/hands-on component in this course. Cross-level listed with CHEM 4050. Credit cannot be received for both MMS 8050 and CHEM 4050 Restriction: Student must be admitted into a graduate program in Science. HOURS OF CREDIT: 3
