NMR spectroscopy is the most important analytical method for chemists, but also for other researchers working at the molecular level (e.g. in pharmacy, biology, biochemistry, physics) for determining the structure of molecules in solution as well as in the solid state. It also provides qualitative and quantitative information about the quality and nature of the starting materials, reaction progress and any intermediate products. For all these steps, prompt access to NMR spectrometers and their diverse repertoire of methods is of great importance. For this reason, the two Institutes of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry have pooled their equipment in a joint magnetic resonance center Morgenstelle and also make NMR spectroscopic services and expertise available to researchers throughout the university. As part of a joint innovation initiative, there are plans to upgrade three of the ageing NMR spectrometers by replacing one magnet (600 MHz) and two consoles (400 & 500 MHz) in order to ensure the long-term availability of the method.
