Course content
Topics that will be discussed in the course:
– Nuclear spins, nuclear magnetic resonance, spin interactions, Fourier transformed NMR,
the NMR experiment.
– Single spin-1/2, ensemble of isolated spins-1/2, experiments on isolated spins-1/2,
homonuclear AX system, homonuclear many-spin systems, heteronuclear spin systems,
relaxation, slow motion and chemical exchange, introduction to multidimensional NMR
spectroscopy. Spectrometer “Spinsight” software.
– Solid state NMR, cross polarization with proton decoupling, chemical shift anisotropy,
magic-angle-spinning. Applications: inorganic, organometallic and biological materials,
studies on surfaces.
Realization
The course consists of 7 lectures, 1 seminar and 2 laboratory works (liquid and solid state
NMR experiments) on a Varian/CMX-360 NMR spectrometer.
Examination is done in the form of a written exam, 6 hours, 5 questions, 26 points (16 points
are needed to pass the examination), all notes and books are allowed, but no any
consultation is allowed during the examination.
