F3B5208 NMR Spectroscopy with Macromolecular Applications 6.0 credits

The course consists of regular lectures and exercises.

The course introduces the students to basic priciples of NMR  spectroscopy. The classical description incl the vector model, rotating frame, radiofrequency pulses and their effect, the time dependent signal, Fourier transformation, relaxation times, simple pulse sequences and instrumentation is discussed in detail and the quantum mechanical basis is sketched.  Applications are discussed and demonstrated.

The course requires a background equivalent to or better than courses covering the all basic aspects of physical chemistry such as thermodynamics, molecular structure, and chemical dynamics.

J. Keeler, Understanding NMR Spectroscopy

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Participation at the seminars and completed home exercise. the course will end with an oral examination.
