NMR Spectrometer: 300 MHz WB CMX for Solids (and liquids)

Quick Specs

  • 300-MHz frequency
  • Capable of solid-state NMR and solution-state spectroscopy

EMSL's Varian Infinity CMX 300-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer is a wide-bore system equipped with a Varian Infinity CMX console. This system is capable of performing solid-state NMR experiments and solution-state spectroscopy. EMSL researchers use the solid state for a variety of applications, including multinuclear structural studies of catalysts and environmental species/coordination studies of natural products. The solution-state capabilities are primarily used for routine liquids NMR of organic synthesis samples.

The console is equipped with three radio frequency channels. The solid-state probes include a 5-mm HXY MAS probe (12-KHz spinning, extended tuning range on the Y-low frequency channel to 21.1 MHz) and a 7.5-mm HX probe (7-KHz spinning). The solution-state probes are comprised of 5-mm broadband (HX) and 10-mm broadband (HX) probes. The console is controlled by a Sun Ultra 5 computer connected to the network.

Researchers may operate this system independently and are provided as much training as necessary for independent operation.
