Location
The nuclear magnetic resonance platform aims to provide academic researchers and private sector stakeholders with a tool enabling them to identify, characterise, quantify and study the molecular dynamics of compounds of interest.
The service has four spectrometers (two 400 MHz and two 500 MHz). The two 400 MHz spectrometers are available for self-service use, after training and authorisation by the platform's engineers, for routine analyses in organic and organometallic synthetic chemistry or for monitoring the extraction/purification of natural molecules on the most common nuclei (1H, 13C, 31P, 15N, 19F, 11B, etc.). .
The other spectrometers are available for use by the platform's engineers and are mainly reserved for more complex studies in liquid NMR or 1D/2D HRMAS, at low and high temperatures on common and less conventional nuclei (29Si, 33S, 35Cu, 43Ca, 49Ti, 51V, 77Se, 89Y, 92Zr, 97Mo, 107Ag, 109Ag, 113Cd, 119Sn, 195Pt, 199Hg, 207Pb, etc.).
Main areas of application in liquid NMR or HRMAS (semi-solid materials: animal and plant tissues, gels, etc.): chemistry, life and health sciences, materials.
An EPR spectrometer completes the department's analytical capabilities. Main applications: chemistry and materials science.
