NMR is a recognised analytical tool. It is used every day by researchers to monitor reactions and to identify or verify structures.

The NMR facility is equipped for all routine experiments, in the liquid or solid phase, in 1D or 2D, at different magnetic fields. In addition to these activities, the NMR facility also offers more specific experiments, including:
- NMR of paramagnetic solids
- Follow-up of functionalisations
- Temperature NMR (-50°C to 600°C)
- Quantitative measurements
- MRI
- Spin relaxation and self-diffusion coefficient measurements
- …
The NMR facility benefits from the expertise of the CRM2 laboratory’s NMR Methodology team. The team specialises in methodological and instrumental developments in both liquid and solid phases. Its objective is to carry out structural and dynamic characterisations of various materials, including solid-phase NMR of biomolecules, NMR of paramagnetic solids or partially organised hybrid systems, spin relaxation and self-diffusion measurements, cyclic field relaxometry techniques, Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR), photo-NMR, and more.
Furthermore, the platform relies on the expertise of the LEMTA laboratory’s ‘MRI for Engineering’ team for all imaging-related aspects. For more detailed information, please refer to the dedicated pages for each laboratory.
Furthermore, we provide training in the operation of NMR equipment.
