Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The lecture "NMR spectroscopy" is intended for Ph.D. students of various chemical disciplines. It builds on the master's studies in chemistry with the aim to obtain an advanced understanding of the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance on the basis of classical physics and quantum mechanics. With the aim to use modern one- and multi-dimensional techniques of NMR measurements to study the structure of organic compounds and complexes, to study the modes of ligand coordination and dynamic processes.
Analyze 1D and 2D high-resolution NMR spectra to obtain information about structure and dynamics. Comparison of NMR spectra of complexes and ligands to obtain information about the type of coordination. Calculation of chemical shifts, interaction constants, integration intensities, relaxation times, etc.
Prerequisites
Master's degree in Chemistry (or related field of study).

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam

For successful completion, the student must be able to answer the questions in the discussion.
