NMR spectroscopy is a sophisticated technology that utilizes low energy radio waves to excite energy levels in the nuclei of atoms. Various properties of the NMR signals can be used to report the molecular structure and the motional flexibility in atomic level detail so that molecular function can be understood.

The NMR Laboratories in the Department of Chemistry at Bowling Green State University is equipped with two NMR Spectroscopy instruments:

• Avance System —
  With an Oxford 7.0 Tesla magnet, the Avance system is dedicated for routine 1H/13C NMR experiments at room temperature. The Avance system is operated by WindowsXP running XWIN-NMR on a PC.
• Unity+ System —
  With an Oxford 9.4 Tesla magnet, Unity+ system is for advanced NMR research. The Unity+ system is hosted by a SUN Sparc10 workstation, which is internetted with Bowling Green State University's infrastructure. The Unity+ system is capable of running both solution and solid-state experiments with VT accessories. The Unity+ system is also equipped with z-axis pulsed-field gradient (PFG) and waveform generator.
