KEMV992 CH2: Determination of Solution Phase Structures, 2 op [kotisivu]

Although solid-state structures, determined mainly by crystallographic methods, continue to be one of the major methods for the determination of three-dimensional structures of molecules and complexes, in many cases these methods are not applicable due to the lack of suitable crystals. In these cases, the best alternatives involve the determination of solution phase structures by a combination of NMR methods and molecular modeling. The aim of this course is to introduce the students to the basics of both methods and especially how their combination can be used as a highly powerful tool for assigning and determining the structures and conformations of small molecules and their complexes.

Basic knowledge of NMR spectroscopy. M.Sc. or equivalent in Chemistry. M.Sc. students in their final term in one of the subjects are encouraged to apply as well.

Obligatory attendance at lectures and homework.
