Description The CIREM provides NMR support to both academic and non-academic researchers. This includes routine 1D and 2D 1H-13C measurements for organic synthesis products analysis, purity assessment, quality control (QC), regulatory compliance (REACH) as well as custom advanced experiments for structure, thermodynamic, kinetic/dynamic characterizations. The CIREM currently holds four high-resolution NMR spectrometers dedicated to solution-state measurements. Two new systems (400 and 600 MHz) were recently installed. They are equipped with sample changers and allow a wide range of modern high-field experiments to be conducted at variable temperature, including 1H/19F/13C triple resonance experiments and low frequency nuclei observation (35/37Cl, 14N, 33S, 101Ru, … 103Rh). The High-Resolution NMR lab (https://nmrlab.ulb.be/), headed by Prof. Michel Luhmer, focusses on the development and applications of multinuclear solution-state NMR spectroscopy in the framework of structural, thermodynamic, kinetic and/or dynamic studies and deals with a large variety of systems. Major current research topics are (i) the characterization of supramolecular assemblies, (ii) the study of photochemical processes and, more recently, (iii) the characterization of electrochemical processes. A major achievement is the development of Photo-Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (photo-CIDNP) measurements for the characterization of photo-induced electron transfer processes with metal complexes.
