Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) is a double resonance pulse program that transfers polarization from an excited nucleus to another – most commonly 1H → 13C. This results in a sensitivity enhancement relative to the standard decoupled 1D carbon spectra (13C), which benefits only from the small Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) enhancements.

2,4-pentanedione (aka acetylacetone, acetylacetonato or acacH) is not only a ubiquitous ligand (AND ligand precursor!) for beautifully coloured organometallic complexes[1-3].. Read more.

In November 2014 Nanalysis was pleased to announce the expansion of their product line with the NMReady-60PRO.  With this we also extended our experiment library for the NMReady-60e

Sustainability has become a main focus of innovation.  Topics of green chemistry, and renewable feedstocks, are paramount in society today.  Biodiesel is one such example!  Read more.

Learning about the parameters that are vital for obtaining good spectra – a concept that I had learned about in a theoretical sense, but as a synthetic chemist rarely thought about when collecting routine data.

As we’ve previously discussed, the development of NMR technology has largely been geared towards improving magnetic field strength.  The original electromagnet spectrometers

Incorporation of NMR spectroscopy into an undergraduate lab provides an excellent method with which to provide students with practical experiments acquiring their own data and interpreting actual NMR spectra.

The basics of how to interpret an NMR spectrum.
