The
Chemistry Department currently operates two state-of-the-art Bruker
Avance III NMR spectrometers, with proton frequencies of 400 and 600
MHz. The facility is located in the basement of the Physical Sciences
building and is open to authorized users around the clock. To increase
access to the instruments, they are configured to transfer data to other
personal computers and workstations within the department.
The Avance III 400
is equipped with a multi-nuclear probe with capabilities ranging from
high sensitivity observation of proton, carbon, phosphorous, and
fluorine to allowing observation of a large number of more exotic
nuclei. This instrument is set up for rapid throughput of routine
samples. It is capable of performing most modern liquid phase NMR
experiments including state of the art two- and three-dimensional
experiments with pulsed field gradients. It is available to departmental
users to solve structural problems requiring high resolution
capabilities.
Variable temperature operation is available on both spectrometers.
