Description
NMR:
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) in liquid phase is an essential spectroscopic method of analysis for the chemist, allowing in particular to determine the structure of small organic molecules or macromolecules in solution, the study of dynamic phenomena... The objective of this course is to understand the phenomena involved in this technique and to relate them to the various structural information accessible by this method. The aim is to be able to exploit the spectral data resulting from this analysis to elucidate the structure and stereochemistry of organic molecules or polymer structures, or to carry out reaction monitoring.
X-ray diffraction:
X-ray diffraction is a powerful and non-destructive technique for characterizing the crystal structure of materials, but it is also able to provide crystallographic and structural information such as lattice parameters and atomic positions. This includes all crystallized materials such as ceramics, materials for energy and information storage and transformation as well as organic molecules and metal complexes (interatomic distances and angles, stereochemistry (chirality, stereoisomerism...), intra and intermolecular bonds...). The objective of this course is an introduction to crystallography and diffraction, with the aim of understanding the operation and characteristics of an X-ray diffractometer, as well as the interpretation of diffraction patterns (structural analysis, lattice parameters).
