Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

Our research combines the development of new techniques with applications to particular chemical problems. Our focus is bringing together methodological development and practical application, with a particular interest in combining solid-state NMR with complementary experimental techniques, such as X-ray Power Diffraction, and computational methods such as Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics. 

The equipment required to fully exploit the technique is specialised, and considerable expertise is required to use the technique effectively. The Durham Solid State NMR Research Service provides both access to state-of-the-art solid-state NMR instrumentation and expertise in providing its users with detailed and interpreted results.
