NMR Spectroscopy Service

Services

The NMR facility in the Department of Chemistry is equipped with five instruments at 400MHz (4) and 500MHz (1), capable of performing a range of measurements, including:

• standard ¹H and ¹³C measurements
• multinuclear NMR (e.g. ²H, ¹¹B, ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si, ³¹P etc.)
• variable temperature (above and below ambient)
• 2D NMR (e.g. HSQC, HMBC, DOSY, etc.)
• routine solid state NMR 

We provide expert NMR services to both internal (Chemistry and other UoS Departments) users, as well as external clients (other Universities, commercial customers).
