NMR

The NMR facility in the Chemistry Department houses two high resolution NMR (Varian Unity Inova 400 and Bruker Avance 300) and a solid state NMR spectrometers (Bruker DSX 300).
In addition, the Department has full access to a Bruker 500 MHz NMR in the Coordinated Instrumentation Facility (CIF).

All the instruments are capable of collecting data for any nucleus of interest at temperature from -80 C to 150 C. The Varian 400 and Bruker DSX 300 are controlled by Sun and SGI Indy workstations, while the Avance 300 is controlled by Windows operating workstation.

The two workstations are networked making them easy to transfer data or finished spectra to students' lab computers for inclusion in reports, papers and dissertations. About 65 Faculty, staff and students from Tulane, Loyola and Xavier Universities use this facility.
