Bruker at ACS Fall 2017 - Washington, DC

When:

Monday, August 21, 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Where:

Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 103A

Join us at our lunch workshop at ACS Fall. Lunch will be provided and then we will dive right into an exciting afternoon of the latest news and developments from our applications scientists.

NMR as a quantitative method and what can NMR do for the chemist?

Topics will include:
• A bit of theory, why is NMR quantitative
• Practical aspects of quantitative NMR: what do you need to worry about
• Internal versus external referencing: pros and cons of each
• Advantages and pitfalls: when and where can it go wrong

With the modern NMR hardware and software available today, many of the experiments that used to be considered complicated and unnecessary are now quite routine and extremely beneficial to the chemist.  This workshop will present an introduction to the alphabet soup of NMR experiments and explain what they are, what information can be obtained from them, and when to use one over another. 

Topics will include:
• 2D experiments commonly used for structure verification and elucidation such as COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC
• Examination of NMR active nuclei that might be of interest to the inorganic chemist and important things to consider when running these experiments
• Brief introduction to Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS and MAS) methods
• Quick look into the possibilities of triple resonance biomolecular NMR
