Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Facility description
The Institute for Chemical Research (IIQ) manages the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Service at cicCartuja, providing specialised support to researchers in the fields of organic and biological chemistry, as well as inorganic and organometallic chemistry.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an essential analytical technique that enables the structural determination of chemical species, alongside the study of their dynamic behaviour and intra- and intermolecular interactions. This service plays a central role in the characterisation of chemical and biological systems.
Equipment
The service is equipped with four high resolution NMR spectrometers:
- Bruker Avance NEO 500
- Bruker Avance NEO 400, fitted with an autosampler
- Bruker Avance III 400
- Bruker Avance NEO 300
All instruments are equipped with state of the art multichannel probes for liquid state NMR.
In addition, the service includes a Magritek Spinsolve 80 Ultra multichannel benchtop NMR, suitable for rapid and routine measurements.
Operating standards
- All instruments operate under a time booking system and are used in self-service mode by authorised cicCartuja users.
- Specific rules apply regarding the maximum booking durations, which depend on the type of experiment (routine measurements or long duration experiments on the higher field instruments). For full booking rules, please refer to the NMR booking page on the institute’s intranet.
- Only trained users, authorised by the service’s technical staff, may operate the equipment.
- Extended reservations may be arranged subject to prior consultation with the technical staff and equipment availability.
