F3B5436 Molecular Structure and Dynamics by NMR Spectroscopy 7.5 credits

The course contains lectures and tutorials. The lectures cover the following:

Basics principles of NMR experiments, components of a modern FT NMR instrument.

NMR spectral parameters (e.g. chemical shift, scalar couplings, integrals), rules for spectral analysis. Relaxation and the Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE).

One-dimensional experiments using complex pulse sequences, (e.g. DEPT).

Two-dimensional NMR experiments (homo- and heteronuclear correlation experiments).

Dynamic NMR spectroscopy

A practice oriented course to develop knowledge and understanding of the application of various one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments in order to elucidate structures and kinetic problems.

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.
