Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, nanobioscience or chemical engineering. NMR part of KE804 Spectroscopy and structural chemistry should be attended..

Course introduction
To apply NMR techniques to determine the structure of a.o. small molecules and biological macromolecules.

Expected learning outcome
At the end of the course the students should be able to:

• perspectivate common solid-state and solution NMR experiments (HNMR, CNMR, DEPT, INEPT, HETCOR, HSQC, HMQC, COSY, DQCOSY, INADEQUATE, NOESY, NOE-difference, CP, MAS) and discuss their application to structure determination.
• solve the Bloch-equations and employ these to explain NMR experiments by means of the vector model.
• discuss scalar-, dipolar- and quadrupolar interactions and their influence on the position, intensity, splitting and width of the lines in an NMR spectrum as well as relaxation times and NOE.
• apply the notion of chemical shift and employ chemical shifts to determine the stereo structure of a molecule. Calculate chemical shifts in order to differentiate between possible structures.
  
• use intensities in HNMR and CNMR and perspectivate factors that influence those (number of nuclei, NOE, relaxation times, exchange)
• analyze spin-spin couplings and use first order spin-spin analysis in order to determine the stereo structure of a molecule.
• Analyze second order effects and employ the concepts chemical and magnetic equivalence.
  
• recognize the influence the dynamics of a molecule has on the NMR line width.
