Introduction to NMR in solid phase
Duration :
15h Th
Number of credits :
Master in chemistry (120 ECTS)2
Lecturer :
Christian Damblon, Philippe Lecomte, Bénédicte Vertruyen
Coordinator :
Philippe Lecomte
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 :
1. Revision of Background knowledge and introduction to solid-state NMR
2. Application to polymers (Philippe Lecomte), to inorganic materials (Bénédicte Vertryen)and to biological materials (Christian Damblon)
3. Lab visit and model experiments
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
· identify the interactions involved in solid state NMR;
· understand and explain the main techniques of solid state NMR (MAS, CP, decoupling) and some common pulse sequences
· analyse experimental procedures and results from the literature.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Basic knowledge of liquid state NMR
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Theoretical course + discussion of applications + 1 practical session
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings :
Lecture notes: a copy of the slides is available (paper or pdf files). Part 2 follows the review paper "Solid-State NMR Spectroscopic Methods in Chemistry", D. Laws et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2002, 41, 3096-3129.
