Do you love chemistry as a school subject? Then why not join our ONLINE lectures on interesting topics in chemistry? Here, you’ll explore scientific phenomena in a way that’s easy to understand.
This will help you in school and may even pave the way for you to pursue a degree in the Natural and Environmental Sciences later on.
Spinning Atomic Nuclei—Structural Elucidation of Organic Compounds Using NMR Spectroscopy
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most important analytical method for structural characterization in organic chemistry.
This powerful method is based on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the atomic nuclei of a molecule, thereby providing us with valuable information about how the individual atoms are bonded together. The hydrogen and carbon nuclei thus allow us to determine the basic framework of organic structures.
Since its inception in the 1950s, NMR spectroscopy has undergone continuous development. With modern equipment, it is now even possible to study the structures of biomolecules such as proteins. Imaging variants of NMR spectroscopy are used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners in medical diagnostics.
You will learn about the design and operation of an NMR spectrometer and discover how to extract structural information from NMR spectra.
Our lecturer, Prof. Dr. Jan Mollitor, is a faculty member and researcher at HSZG in the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, specializing in organic chemistry and organic spectroscopy.
Class time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Please log in by 5:45 p.m.
Please register no later than one day before the event so that you can receive online access in time. The lecture will take place on the Big Blue Button platform (internet access required).
Participation will be confirmed with a certificate of attendance.
This is a joint event organized by the HSZG Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences and the State Office for Schools and Education, Bautzen branch. It is supported by the Chemical Industry Fund of the German Chemical Industry Association (Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V.).
