Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State

About the Course:In this course, after introducing NMR and the internal interaction parameters, I will discuss some advanced concepts and techniques, such as, relaxation phenomenon and their measurements, NOE and ROE, spin system nomenclature, quantum mechanical analysis of spectra, the polarization transfer mechanism, chemical exchange, pure shift NMR, diffusion ordered spectroscopy, spectra of many heteronuclei, two dimensional NMR and routine 2D experiments, product operator formalism, analysis of 2D spectra. The multiple quantum techniques, the solid state NMR, magic angle spinning and cross polarization, CPMAS techniques and solid state NMR experiments will be discussed in detail.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Postgraduates and Research StudentsPREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge of NMR Spectroscopy and Analysis of SpectraINDUSTRY SUPPORT: All pharma industries which have NMR facilities
