There is no course for doctoral students that covers NMR spectroscopy without extensive mathematics. This course fulfils a long-awaited need for chemists who use NMR spectroscopy but do not require the quantum chemical background provided in the KFKN01F course.

Judgement and Approach
For a passing grade the doctoral student must Choose the NMR technique that is best suited for studying a given structural or dynamic problem.
The aim is to provide fundamental knowledge in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and a solid understanding of how the technique can be employed to study the structure and dynamics of small molecules. The course covers methods focused on organic and organometallic molecules. The course begins with the fundamental theory of nuclear magnetic resonance. It is followed by lectures on chemical shift, nuclear spin interactions, spin dynamics, chemical exchange, relaxation, and multidimensional applications. Finally, each student completes a project where a molecule's structure is studied using various NMR methods. The focus of this project may vary depending on the student's specialization.
