A graduate-level course of around 12 lectures, commencing on Wednesday 18th October at 5.30 pm in the Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Rd (use the main entrance, where a sign will be posted directing you to the appropriate lecture theatre) Lecturers: Dr James Keeler (Dept. of Chemistry) and Dr Daniel Nietlispach (Dept. of Biochemistry)
This course is aimed a PhD students and Postdocs who wish to deepen their understanding of
modern NMR spectroscopy. The course will be aimed at giving an understanding of the basic
theory, and showing how this can be used to understand the key experiments; this is not a
course about how to use NMR, but a course about how NMR works. We will only consider
spin-half systems in liquids.
Topics to be covered will include: energy levels and NMR; the vector model; data
processing; introduction to product operators; two-dimensional NMR; relaxation and the
NOE. If there is interest, the course may be extended to more specialised areas such as
coherence selection, biomolecular NMR and more complex two-dimensional experiments. A
certain amount of mathematical knowledge will be needed, but when it comes to any
calculations the pace will be very moderate.
The course will follow closely the approach developed in the book Understanding NMR
Spectroscopy (James Keeler, published by Wiley, 2005). No pre-prepared notes will be
provided.
Each lecture will last around 90 minutes (with a break in the middle), and part of the
lecture will be devoted to working through the problems from Understanding NMR
Spectroscopy. Participants in the course will be encouraged to work through the problems as
the lectures proceed.
All are welcome. If you have any questions, please contact Dr Daniel Nietlispach,
