"Basics of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance" - "Université de Lille"

The NMR phenomenon is currently exploited for many purposes, including medical imaging using the MRI technique as well as the characterization of the structure and the dynamics of matter at molecular scale by NMR spectroscopy, which is a key tool in chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology and material sciences. "Basics of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance" is the first course of a comprehensive three-part online learning programme on NMR. It aims at providing students and professionals the basic knowledge about NMR. The MOOC sets out the principles of NMR in solutions as well as one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR experiments and their application to small organic molecules in solution. This course is intended for undergraduate and graduate students as well as educators and professionals who need to gain proficiency as routine users of NMR spectroscopy of organic molecules in solution. At the end of this course, you will be able to: - to understand the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the basic liquid-state NMR experiments; - to interpret one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) 1H and 13C NMR spectra of small organic molecules; - to determine the structure and purity of small organic molecules in solution using NMR spectroscopy.
