Industrial Affiliates Program Short Course: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
This two-part workshop is designed for Industrial Affiliates Program (IAP) members, industry partners, researchers, and technical professionals interested in understanding how magnetic resonance techniques can address real-world characterization challenges. Through practical examples, participants will discover how these methods can be applied to investigate material structure and interactions at the molecular level. Examples of investigation areas with NMR include material composition, crystallinity and polymorphism, phase behavior, molecular mobility and dynamics, diffusion and transport processes, three-dimensional structure, free radicals, transition metals, and material defects. No prior NMR experience is required to understand and enjoy this short course.
This two-part course begins with an engaging virtual classroom session that introduces the fundamentals of magnetic spectroscopy. Online session will cover the full breadth of NMR and EPR characterization capabilities, industrial applications, and advanced techniques including relaxometry, DOSY, multidimensional NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, HETCOR, NOESY), solid-state NMR, NMR crystallography, and EPR spectroscopy.
The in-person laboratory session will be split between the IMS NMR lab and the Chemistry Department lab. These sessions will cover both solid-state and solution state methods with complimentary EPR characterization. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the capabilities available at UConn IMS and how these tools can be leveraged to solve complex industrial characterization challenges.
Please note: Lab session attendance is limited to 24 participants. Register early to ensure your spot.
