Molecular Structural Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops new analytical methods based on a deep understanding of NMR.
AboutAbout the lab
NMR is more than just an analytical tool.
The Molecular Structural Chemistry Lab studies the science of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Its work covers fundamental research on NMR phenomena and nuclear spin dynamics, development of NMR hardware and new methods, and applied research in solid-state NMR.
NMR is an indispensable analytical tool in modern chemistry, but the lab does not regard it as merely an analytical tool and seeks to understand NMR phenomena at a deeper level.
Key terms
- NMR
- A method that uses the properties of atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field to investigate the structure and motion of materials
- Nuclear spin
- A property of atomic nuclei that makes them behave like tiny magnets
- Parahydrogen
- A form of the hydrogen molecule in which the orientations of the two nuclear spins are in a particular combination
NewsLab news
A student received the Excellent oral presentation award for an oral presentation at the 15th ICEIM
A paper on ultra-efficient ortho–para hydrogen conversion by Ni-MOF-74 was published in ACS Appl. Energy Mater.
A paper on photo-polarized triplet electron spins and nuclear spin hyperpolarization of powders was published in Physical Review B
A paper on dipolar order of nuclear spins in a rotating solid was published in Physical Review Letters
ResearchResearch themes
Using NMR, the lab analyzes the structure and dynamics of powders and amorphous materials, for which other methods have difficulty providing information, and elucidates the mechanisms by which their properties and functions arise.
