2 Day Workshop: Introduction to Practical Aspects of Solution NMR for Chemists
Wednesday May 24 and Thursday May 25:
9:00 am to 12:00 pm each day
This introductory workshop is geared toward undergraduate students, and new graduate students with limited NMR experience, but who are expected to make use of the NMR spectrometers as part of their research projects.
The workshop is meant as a supplement to the "one on one" training that new NMR users receive and will allow an opportunity to go into greater depth on many topics, therefore students who have recently started to use our NMR instruments are especially encouraged to attend. There will be an Advanced NMR Workshop offered later in the summer.
The schedule will consist of a lecture to start each day followed by hands-on learning sessions where participants will get the opportunity to collect and process NMR data.
The topics covered include:
- How an NMR spectrometer works
- NMR Magnet Safety
- Preparation of NMR Samples
- Set up of 1D 1H and 13C NMR Experiments
- Processing and Presentation of NMR Data
The workshop is free of charge to members of the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry; however, enrolment is limited, so please register soon!
Please note that a separate Intro Workshop will be held for MMB students in July so MMB students should not register for this workshop.

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.

NMR Workshop
The NMR facility is offering an Introductory Workshop for both graduate and undergraduate students, on the mornings of Thursday May 22 and Friday May 23 2014, from 9-12 each day.
This introductory workshop is geared toward undergraduate students, summer students and/or graduate students with limited (or no) NMR experience, who are expected to make use of the NMR spectrometers as part of their research projects. The workshop is meant as a supplement to the "one on one" training that new students receive and will allow an opportunity to go into greater depth on many topics. The schedule will consist of a lecture to start each day followed by hands-on learning sessions where participants will get the opportunity to make NMR samples as well as to collect and process NMR data.
The topics covered include:
- How an NMR spectrometer works
- NMR Magnet Safety
- Preparation of NMR Samples
- Set up of 1D 1H and 13C NMR Experiments
- Processing and Presentation of NMR Data
The workshop is free of charge to members of the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry; however, enrollment is limited, so please register soon!
