The first ever LEGO NMR spectrometer!




Thanks to many of my friends and colleagues who forwarded this interesting item....

Some final papers to round out 2014: 45Sc and 35Cl SSNMR

Aaron Rossini’s and Marcel Hildebrand’s work on polymer-supported scandium triflate catalysts is now published in J. Phys. Chem. C. 2014, 118, 22649–22662. and features some beautiful 45Sc solid-state NMR spectra, for those who are interested. DOI: 10.1021/jp507470v




In addition, Chris O’Keefe’s work on 35Cl SSNMR of a series of transition metal complexes is now available in Inorg. Chem. 2014, 53, 9581–9597. Some nice examples of 35Cl SSNMR of Mo and W compounds are presented, along with those of a sample of a silica-supported catalyst. This work was done with our collaborators from the University of Lille, France. DOI:10.1021/ic501004u

Proton gyromagnetic ratio still safe!

Thanks to my colleague David Rovnyak for this interesting tweet....

Looking back on 2014 for NMR: the gyromagnetic ratio for 1H is still safe: http://t.co/116HoL3yXW
