Lecturer :

Christian Damblon

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

The course is a discovery of new technical developments in NMR and their implementation on the spectrometer.
After a lesson summarizing the theoretical and practical principles of different NMR experiments , students will be asked to select the newly published experiments ( homonuclear decoupling , Ultrafast 2D ...) and to implement them onto the spectrometer . The compounds used for testing these new experiments will be chosen according to NMR experiments and can be the molecules the student will synthetized during their end-of-study work .

Learning outcomes of the course :

Objective 1: Acquiring the ability to record adequately all NMR experiments required for the analysis of an organic compound. Objective 2: To understand the spectral information obtained by applying a sequence of pulses. Objective 3: to choose experiences tailored to their research.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Course on structural analysis: CHIM-9291

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

Practical work on the NMR spectrometer. Analysis of the spectra with appropriate computer programs : TOPSPIN-MNova

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

The course schedule will be determined with the students according to the availabilities of each and the availability of the spectrometer.
