Learning outcomes of the course unit

Concluding the course, the students will be able to interpret simple experimental EPR and NMR spectra, recorded by the study of dedined chemical and biochemical systems. This access represents good starting point for the solution more complex problems in the laboratory practice.

Prerequisites

basic knowledge on organic and inorganic chemistry, basic knowledge about magnetism and electrodynamics

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The evaluation is performed by the examination, which is composed of two parts. Within the practical part the student interprets the chosen experimental EPR and NMR spectra. Within the oral exam the knowledge, obtained during the lectures is verified.

Course curriculum

1. Basic principles of EPR spectroscopy (hyperfine structure of EPR spectra, line broadening, theory of g-factor, dynamic effects in EPR spectra).
2. EPR characteristics of basic types of radicals (alkyl, alkoxyl, alkylperocyl radicals, aromatic radicals - phenoxyl, nitroxyl, aminyl and hydrazyl radicals)
3. Special techniques in EPR spectroscopy (spin trapping method, spin labelling, construction of EPR spectrometers)
4. Basic principles of NMR spectroscopy (relaxation of nuclei and relaxation, chemical shift, spin-spin interaction)
5. Special techniques in NMR spectroscopy (1H NMR spectroscopy and its relation to molecular structure, 13C NMR spectroscopy),

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

Ph.D. students obtain the basic information on theoretical principles of magnetic resonance methods, and fundamental characteristics of EPR and NMR spectroscopy. Consequently, they will be able to inerpret the appropriately choosen experimental EPR and NMR spectra,
