CHEMISTRY 781: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Theory and Practice (Semester 1, Fall 2004) |
Instructor: F. Holger Försterling, Room 341; Phone (414)-229-5896 e-mail: holger@csd.uwm.edu Days and Hours: Lectures: Tuesday, Thursday, 3:00 - 3:50 pm, CHEM 193 Lab: Individual shifts at convenient time First Meeting: Tu, Sept. 2, 3:00 pm Assignments: 5 lab reports Grading: There will be two tests (one mid-term test and one final test). The final grade will be made on the basis of these two tests (50%) and the average score of the overall performance in the lab (50%). recommended Textbook: J. W. Akitt and B. E. Mann; "NMR and Chemistry: An Introduction to Modern NMR Spectroscopy" Stanley Thornes, Cheltenham 2000 Midterm:in class presentations held on Oct.14, 19 and Nov. 2 Final Exam: take-home, due Thu, Dec. 16 COURSE SUMMARY The purpose of this graduate level course is to give an introduction into the application of NMR spectroscopy to those who use this method to solve problems in the fields of chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry. The importance of NMR stems from the fact that the extraction of a wealth of information can be readily achieved by the average chemist with a minimum knowledge in quantum mechanics or mathematics. The course consists of two lectures per week which will includer basic principles and theory of NMR, relating chemical shift and coupling constants to molecular structure, important one and multi dimensional experiments and discuss their application in assignment and structure determination problems. In addition the course involves a lab during which students will get hands on experience in acquiring NMR spectra, and perform on line processing and practice assignment and structure elucidation using one- and two dimensional NMR spectra. |
