Study Programmes 2016-2017
CHIM0220-1  
Recent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods in chemistry
Duration :
15h Th
Number of credits :
Master in chemistry (120 ECTS)2
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
Learning unit 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 learning unit :
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.
Recommended or required readings :
course CHIM-9291 (structural analysis)
Assessment methods and criteria :
Written report on the analysis performed by the students.
