Characterization of organic and inorganic materials by Solid state NMR

Magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR (MAS SSNMR) is a well-established technique for the characterization of the atomic chemical environment in crystalline, non-crystalline and non-soluble large variety of materials such as simple molecules, drug formulations, glasses, ceramics, zeolites, perovskites, batteries and capacitors, powder formulations, nanocrystals and biological samples. There are numerous applications of solid-state NMR covering a large range of scientific disciplines. In our laboratory we have two high-field Avance III Bruker NMR spectrometers operating at magnetic fields of 14.1 Tesla (or the equivalent of a 600MHz 1H Larmor frequency) and 9.4T (400MHz), and several different probes suitable for measuring a large variety of atoms across the periodic table at varying experimental conditions and sample states. Examples are 1H, 13C, 31P, 15N, 7Li, 29Si, 27Al, 23Na, 11B, 133Cs etc.

Some recent reviews discuss the methodology and its applications, including https://doi.org/10.1021/ac504288u, https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s43586-020-00002-1

We offer services for the characterization of a variety of organic and inorganic solid materials. With solid-state NMR we can

Potential industries

Pharmaceutical industries seeking characterization of polymorphs.

Companies involved in the synthesis and design of solid materials, where characterization on the atomic level of many materials is not available from many other spectroscopic techniques.

The principal investigator heading the lab is Prof. Amir Goldbourt, with close to 30 years of experience in the field and >80 publications in peer-reviewed journals.

The design, application and analysis of experiments, as well as consulting services on the choice of experiments and the significance of results are offered at the highest professional levels.
