Familiarity with NMR is important for almost all academic and industrial jobs in chemistry. 'NMR' is much more than one method, as it offers a dizzying array of experiments that allow structure determination, characterization of clusters and polymers, binding equilibria, measurement of dynamics and kinetics and elucidation of reactivity.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, or NMR, is invaluable for characterizing molecules we synthesize, and isolate from complex natural extracts.
