Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)

Our specialist facility houses seven high performance 400–700MHz multinuclear spectrometers for studying liquid samples. 

The Neo700MHz is equipped with a liquid Nitrogen cooled cryoprobe, providing greater sensitivity. We also have a high power 400MHz spectrometer dedicated to studying solid samples.

What problems can we solve?

  • Structure identification and confirmation
  • Composition of mixtures
  • Molecular conformation and dynamics
  • Polymer analysis
  • Reaction intermediate detection
  • Solid state structure and dynamics

Technical specifications

The Centre (based in the Department of Chemistry) offers an excellent array of instruments including:

  • 700, 600 (wide bore), two 500, two 400 and a 300MHz spectrometer
  • 400 MHz solid state magic angle spinning spectrometer
  • a Hypersense Dynamic Nuclear Polarizer – boosting weak NMR signals.
