NMR Spectroscopy in Inorganic Chemistry

Abstract

Theory and applications of NMR spectroscopy with a focus of its use to problems in Inorganic Chemistry.The use of the Bloch Equations to describe broadband and selective excitation, measurement techniques and processing strategies of NMR data, applications of NMR to the study of molecular structure, chemical exchange processes, diffusion spectroscopy, and solid-state NMR techniques.

Objective

In depth understanding of both practical and theoretical aspects of solution and solid-state NMR and its application to problems in Inorganic Chemistry
