Course objectives
The course objective is to provide theoretical description of nuclear magnetic spectroscopy and to make the student familiar with the following areas of the NMR Theory: Theoretical concepts of classical description using the vector model as well as of quantum mechanics needed for proper understanding of multi-dimensional NMR techniques are discussed. The product operator formalism is introduced to facilitate description of basic one and two-dimensional experiments frequently used in chemical research.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
1. understand theoretical description of NMR spectroscopy
2. understand principles of modern methods of NMR spectroscopy used in organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, strucutural biology and biophysics.
3. select the method suitable for given application.
4. analyze basic NMR experiments at the level of the vector model and of the product operator formalism.
5. identify parameters determining results of the experiments.
