NMR spectroscopy is the preeminent and most informative of the spectroscopic techniques employed in chemical research laboratories today. Additionally, an NMR spectrometer is one of the largest single investments in analytical instrumentation a laboratory is likely to make. For both of these reasons, it is important that a chemist, in order to promote his/her research, is able to exploit the full capacities of these spectrometers, and to be aware of the range of techniques that can be deployed. The aim of this course is to promote NMR spectroscopy as a tool in structure determination, including the determination of conformation and of relative and absolute configuration. The classes will include many practical examples, with opportunites to practise the interpretation of simple one-dimensional NMR spectra and the two-dimensional spectra: COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY.
