New NMR in Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry purchased a brand new JEOL 300 MHz NMR in April, 2009, which was installed during the summer.  The ECX300 Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer is a versatile, high performance, and easy-to-operate FT NMR system. It is designed to perform the latest NMR methods such as high-performance liquids, PFG (Pulsed Field Gradient), diffusion, LC-NMR and multi-dimensional (up to 8-D) NMR. Dr. Timm and his organic chemistry research team have been running samples all summer. He says, "This instrument will greatly expand our structural elucidation capacity with an easy to use, reliable research grade spectrometer. We are thrilled to have such a state-of-the-art instrument that will allow our students to actively acquire data and perform cutting edge chemistry."
