Background-free 19F Experiments
The Point: A new parameter set with a custom pulse sequence has been implemented on 400-1 that yields 19F spectra without the usual broad signal from the Teflon in the probe. This improves automatic phasing, provides flatter baselines, and sets the stage for...
Optimized Default 13C Parameters
The Point: A new set of default parameters, named “CARBON”, has been developed that increases 13C signal strength for all signals relative to traditional parameter settings. Some signal intensities are DOUBLED relative to results obtained with...
Optimized Default 1H Parameters
The Point: Everyday 1H NMR spectra should be acquired with default parameter sets; that’s the whole point of having them. Most data can be acquired in one scan (params = PROTON1). If you want more than one scan, you should use PROTON8, even if you’re going to change...
NMR Facility Shutdown – COVID-19
The NMR Facility will shut down for an undetermined period starting Friday, March 20 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See post for precise timing.
