Chemistry 627 Theory and Practice of NMR

(This was Chem 625 in previous years.) Coursework will consist of ~ 6 homework assignments (short), a written final, and 7 practical exams( 1-D proton, Cosy, 1-D carbon-13, dept on the "downstairs" AC and 1-D proton, 1-D carbon-13, and DEPT on the "upstairs" AC).

It is possible to obtain training on the NMRs without taking this class, but if at all possible, graduate students planning to use the NMR facility should take 627.
