I got a stupid question @nmr900.bsky.social - bench top NMRs are at 125 MHz now??!?

Q Magnetics@qmagnetics.bsky.social · 8mo ago

At 125 MHz, benchtop NMR shows how the chiral center in (4S)-4-(propan-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one induces nonequivalence in nearby protons, producing diastereotopic splitting. As an Evans-type chiral auxiliary, it directs enolate geometry in asymmetric synthesis.🧪 #NMRchat #Flowchemistry #Chemistry

why does something always goes to shit when i wanna get some nice kinetics data uuuuuugh

Yesterday Dr Andres Garcia-Dominguez delivered a standout talk at the St Andrews Centre of Magnetic Resonance. Combining clever pulse sequences with sharp mechanistic thinking, he showed how NMR can support and challenge computation! #NMR #CMR #PhysicalOrganic #Chemistry

Looking forward to it!

Both Pedrou Helou de Oliveira and Annabel Flook (PhD students) will be presenting their work at the RSC Physical Organic Chemistry Postgraduate Meeting! Plus, posters from other group members will showcase even more of our molecular investigations! #NMR #ReactionMonitoring #PhysicalOrganicChemistry

In March, PhD students Callum Cushnie and Roisin O'Dea proved it's not just about fast chemical reactions - they're fast on their feet too! They both successfully completed the Inverness Half Marathon with speed and precision worthy of any lab experiment. #InvernessHalfMarathon

Massive congratulations to PhD student Callum Cushnie for absolutely smashing the activation barrier at the Edinburgh Marathon yesterday - flying across the finish line at 2:59:56! Now that's what we call a fast reaction rate! #EdinburghMarathon #FirstMarathon

Security at Bristol airport asked me if i had a body in my backpack bc it was so heavy. I said 'I'm not supposed to say yes to that, right?'. Apparently security did not like that...

Yeah... no

I don't want to cast doubt on the impeccable dependability of google AI, but I don't remember this particular plot twist in du Maurier's REBECCA

Which challenges physics more: five-sided snowflake or penta-tertbutylcyclopentadiene?

I had a great time in London at the joint NMRDG and BRSG winter meeting over the last couple of days. It was also fantastic to present one of my current projects there and a huge thanks for all of the interesting questions and comments that followed! @rsc-nmrdg.bsky.social

Congratulations to Roisin O'Dea and @annabelflook.bsky.social from the group who gave a great talk about how to get started with reaction monitoring using NMR to the newest chemistry cohort across Scotland at the latest SNUG meeting. #nmrchat

throwback to my most popular post from the Other Realm

It's a little bit late, but I'm really excited for my first paper! For reaction monitoring by NMR, signal-averaging can be applied *after acquisition*, and results in better S/N *and* data density without the typical trade-off. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #NMRchat #NMR @lloydjonesgroup.bsky.social

For any other #NMR enthusiasts out there, the team at Manchester put together the perfect advent calendar. Thank you! www.nmr.chemistry.manchester.ac.uk/advent24/

This was incredible to see (especially after I missed seeing them already that month...)

What better way to say hi here than with a picture from our most recent group trip, complete with an incredible light show!

I think about this a lot as I'm panicking in my shower.
