Structure:
A three day course with theoretical and practical sessions covering basic aspects of the technique and oriented towards both beginners and routine NMR users.
Topics:
Basic theoretical aspects of NMR. Introduction to the most commonly used 1D and 2D homonuclear and heteronuclear techniques. Data acquisition and processing with a “hands-on” approach.
Applications:
The course is open and free of charge, however the practical sessions are restricted to 12 students. To apply to this course please send an e-mail to lamosa@itqb.unl.pt stating your interest accompanied by a short CV. For PhD students the course will correspond to 1 ECTS.
