NMR Spectroscopy

Our areas of expertise

Bruker 600 MHz NMR spectrometer

The expertise of the group focusses on the structural analyses of crystalline and disordered (amorphous) materials, of liquid samples including the validation of quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and on investigations of solid materials by Mößbauer spectroscopy. Being part of Division I.3, the group is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 by the German Accreditation System for Testing (Deutsches Akkreditierungssystem Prüfwesen, DAP).

Fields of activity

• Liquid date NMR

• Structural analysis of small and middle-sized molecules
• Determination of contents and purities of organic substances (i.e. phytopharmaca or fluorescence dyes)
• Studies of the sol-gel processes (phosphates, silicates, and aluminates)
• Validation of quantitative NMR
• Organisation of Round Robin Test

• Solid state NMR: Characterisation of

• Inorganic glasses and ceramics (aging of materials, crystallisation phenomena, etc.)
