Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) laboratory
Research groups using the lab
The research groups that belong to the Synthesis, Photochemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry Areas of the Department of Chemistry and the research groups of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology access the laboratory and instrumentation.
Description
The laboratory is dedicated to the use of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance instrument that is used both for the characterization of organic substances, through one-dimensional proton and carbon analyzes, and for their structural determination, through two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear analysis. It can also be used for quantitative analysis of mixture components and for the analysis of substances containing heteronuclei (other than proton and carbon).
Instrumentation
NMR spectrometer Varian MR400
It is a superconducting magnet operating at 9.4 Tesla (400 MHz frequency on the proton core) equipped with a two-channel ATB probe capable of recording the resonance frequencies of many nuclei, among which the most commonly investigated are Proton and Carbon. Equipped with a Zymark model autosampler with 50 stations complete with robot, controller and calibration accessories.

Consultancy
The instrumentation present in the laboratory is also used for requests for analysis by other structures of the University, external firms and in various consultancy and / or commissioned research contracts.
Teaching and training activity
The instrumentation is used for the educational activities of the Organic Chemistry laboratory courses for the three-year and master's degrees in Chemistry. Furthermore, the same instrumentation is available to professors and PhD students of research groups that belong to the Areas of Organic Synthesis, Photochemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry and the research groups of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology
