French language

Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course is a discovery of new technical developments in NMR and their implementation on the spectrometer.
After a lesson summarizing the theoretical and practical principles of different NMR experiments , students will be asked to select the newly published experiments ( homonuclear decoupling , Ultrafast 2D, Diffusion-DOSY ...) and to implement them onto the spectrometer . The compounds used for testing these new experiments will be chosen according to NMR experiments and can be the molecules the student will synthetized during their end-of-study work .
 

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Objective 1: Acquiring the ability to record adequately all NMR experiments required for the analysis of an organic compound. Objective 2: To understand the spectral information obtained by applying a sequence of pulses. Objective 3: to choose experiences tailored to their research.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Course on structural analysis: CHIM-9291

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Practical work on the NMR spectrometers 400-700 MHz. Analysis of the spectra with appropriate computer programs : TOPSPIN-MNova

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The course schedule will be determined with the students according to the availabilities of each and the availability of the spectrometer.
