NMR Experiments and Procedures | University of Kentucky College of Arts & Sciences

NOTE that these instructions are based on VnmrJ 2.2D with chempack active.

If you want to activate chempack (a package of programs for NMR experiments and macros that help set them up), draw down the "edit" menu, release on "applications". Look in the wide middle column named "Application Directory", look for "/vnmr/chempack". Check in the same row to the left of the chempack entry to see if it is "enabled". If not, use the arrowhead there to select 'enabled'. Click on "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box. Exit VnmrJ and relaunch it. This procedure is fully reversible, you can alsways disable chempack if you do not like it.

Prof. Miller is happy to provide guidance with any of the following, however her response time is often limited by additional commitments. Dr. Justin Mobley can be of assistance with running the following experiments. However, please notify Dr. Mobley in advance (i.e. please email Dr. Mobley 1 week prior to performing the experiments).

Selective pulses and selective 1D-TOCSY

(connectivity through bonds between 1Hs in a spin system)

This is a great way to identify resonances belonging to the same spin system as a given resonance that is well separated from others. Use care not to employ too strong or long a spin lock. Keep the spinlock power < 50 and duration mixT < 0.1 .
