SEMINAR: CMCA - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at UWA – The Bayliss NMR Facility

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy provides insight into molecular structure, interactions and dynamics. It has applications in a wide range of disciplines including chemistry, soil science, botany, biochemistry, exercise physiology, pharmacy, marine archaeology, microbiology, engineering and medicine. Whilst most of our work relates to the study of organic and organo-metallic compounds in solution, we have undertaken a diverse range of research projects such as investigating the 31P chemistry of growing plants and studying the level of degradation of timbers from ancient shipwrecks. The talk aims to introduce NMR spectroscopy to those who may be unfamiliar with the technique and illustrate its capabilities with examples of work undertaken in the NMR facility.
