This course is a practical guide to NMR spectroscopy and covers the basics concepts involved and extends to a very powerful exploratory tool in structure elucidation available to an organic chemist- C13 NMR Spectroscopy. The course is divided into three sections. Section 1 covers all the basics of NMR spectroscopy and builds up to Section 2 where we discuss the important concepts that will lead to an introductory module on C13 NMR spectroscopy in Section 3.
