Advanced NMR Workshop - June 15-16, 2016

Advanced NMR Workshop 

Wednesday June 15 and Thursday June 16, 9am to noon each day

This advanced workshop is available to undergraduate students and/or graduate students/postdocs who have already taken the Introductory NMR Workshop or who have completed the third year Spectroscopic Structure Identification course (59-330/332) and who have demonstrated sufficient competence to the NMR Facility Manager. No experience in solid state NMR is required.

The workshop will briefly cover the physical theory behind the advanced NMR experiments but the focus will be on demonstrating the uses of these experiments and practical aspects of experimental set up .The schedule will consist of a mixture of lectures and of hands-on sessions on the NMR spectrometers where participants will get the opportunity to set up experiments and collect data.

The topics covered include topics covered include:

  • DOSY

  • COSY
  • 
NOESY/ROESY

  • HMQC/HMBC

  • Differences between solution and solid state NMR
  • Solid State NMR sample preparation
  • Magic-angle spinning – MAS  (tuning the angle with KBr)

  • Cross-polarization (CP) MAS
  • Basic 1H and 13C SSNMR experiments
  • 
Pulse field gradients
  • Shaped Pulses

  • Selective 1D NOESY
  • HOMODEC

  • DEPTQ





Enrolment is free but numbers are limited.

CEMWOQ This Weekend!


The 3rd Crystal Engineering and Emerging Materials Workshop of Ontario and Quebec (CEMWOQ-3), is taking place at the Centre for Executive and Professional Education at the University of Windsor on May 14 -15, 2016.  The meeting will provide a forum for researchers with broad interests in the fields of Molecular and Molecule-based Materials, including:

* structure and dynamics in the solid state
* solid state (topochemical) reactions
* materials properties; conductivity, magnetism, multi-ferroics, optical properties.
* liquid crystals;
* metal organic frameworks;
* polymorphism and crystal engineering;
* synthetic methods; microwave, grinding and solvent-assisted grinding.
