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

For an example of qNMR, I want to talk about an analytical method – standard addition.  If you’re anything like me, you HATED standard addition in undergraduate analytical chemistry.

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.

Welcome back!  If you recall from our last blog, we followed a bench-top NMR electronics blueprint to highlight the technology that allows the generation of an excitation wave and tailors it to nutate our hydrogen nuclei in our sample.  Now, keeping with our goal of demystifying the technology of ...

Hello, my fellow Bench-top NMR enthusiasts!  If you’re like me and ever pondered your deeply burning engineering questions concerning NMR on the bench top, then look no further!

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.

NMR spectroscopy, as it is typically discussed, or at least how it is initially taught, tends to refer to static systems.  Chemical shifts, integrations and multiplicities are typically reported on
