Special Events

The Local Section Annual NMR Symposium at the 236^th ACS National Meeting & Expo August 17-21, 2008 in Philadelphia, PA

The Local Section warmly invites students and faculty to a half-day symposium entitled "Innovation in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in the undergraduate curriculum" on the morning of Monday, 18 August 2008. It would be difficult to overstate the significance of the role played by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in advancing chemical knowledge to its present state. Chemists recognize the immense power of NMR spectroscopy as a tool for probing gases, liquids, and solids. As this important spectroscopic tool continues to evolve and gain power it is critical for the undergraduate curriculum to incorporate modern methods and applications of NMR. This session highlights recent curricular developments in the use of NMR to study structure, bonding, chemical environment, and dynamic processes (such as chemical kinetics or molecular motion) - especially in areas related to the areas of human health, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials science.
