NMR Spectroscopy: Learned and Delivered on the Internet

The NMR Collaborative Training Partnership is an NSF sponsored project that provides several nearby two-year and four-year institutions access to a 300-MHz FT-NMR. Using Web-based materials we teach students who do not have direct access to an instrument the basics of how an NMR spectrum is generated. We also have a Web server and remote software that allows students to generate real spectra from samples they have submitted to their instructor. In this way, students who do not have a local FT-NMR can gain experience with this important technique.
