| (*)The following skills will be provided:
• Students can describe the basis of NMR for isolated spins, such as populations, energy levels, rotations of spin and magnetization vectors using classical physics concepts (k1,k2).
• Students can describe the NMR phenomenon for spin-1/2 nuclei (1H, 13C, 15N, 31P) in quantum mechanical (QM) terms, including populations, coherences, superposition states, single quantum and multiple quantum transitions (k1,k2).
• Students are able to use the vector representation to explain simple NMR experiments like pulses and precession (k3).
• Students are able to use the PrOF to analyze basic pulse sequence blocks like the spin echo and polarization transfer (k4).
• Students understand the principles behind many popular 2D NMR techniques used in organic chemistry and can decide on a suitable experiment for a given question about molecular structure (k2,k5).
