Cappack Devices For The Evaluation Of Parameters And Pulse Performances In Liquid And Solid-State Nmr Spectroscopy, Lingyu Chi

Doctoral Dissertations

"NMR spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool to obtain explicit information about molecular structures, conformations, dynamics, and functions. To extract the desired information most accurately, NMR reference standards and devices are needed for calibrating the spectrometer hardware, generating reference data for the NMR software, and testing the applicability of pulse sequences. In this dissertation, the CapPack (Capillary-tube Package) platform is introduced which provides well-defined external reference and calibration standards for liquid and solid-state NMR applications. CapPacks consist of one or more permanently sealed capillary tubes that, depending on the intended application, come arranged in different geometries such as side-by-side or …
