Multidimensional
NMR Methods for the Solution State
edited by Gareth A. Morris and James W. Emsley Hardcover: 580 pages Publisher: Wiley; June 2010 Language: English ISBN: 978-0470770757 http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470770759 http://www.amazon.ca/dp/0470770759 |
Wiley: "Multidimensional NMR methods have transformed the way in which solution state NMR is used to elucidate the structures of chemical and biochemical systems. The first book covering new developments in nearly a decade, this much-needed resource explains recent experimental methods for the rapid measurement of multidimensional solution-state NMR spectra. With articles written by key developers of the techniques, the coverage deals with both the theoretical tools and the latest practical applications, giving an unmatched guide to students, researchers, technicians, and anyone else working with NMR techniques today"

NMR
Crystallography |
Wiley: The term "NMR Crystallography" has only recently come into common usage, and even now causes raised eyebrows within some parts of the diffraction community. The power of solid-state NMR to give crystallographic information has considerably increased since the CPMAS suite of techniques was introduced in 1976. In the first years of the 21st century, the ability of NMR to provide information to support and facilitate the analysis of single-crystal and powder diffraction patterns has become widely accepted. Indeed, NMR can now be used to refine diffraction results and, in favorable cases, to solve crystal structures with minimal (or even no) diffraction data. The increasing ability to relate chemical shifts (including the tensor components) to the crystallographic location of relevant atoms in the unit cell via computational methods has added significantly to the practice of NMR crystallography. Diffraction experts will increasingly welcome NMR as an allied technique in their structural analyses. Indeed, it may be that in the future crystal structures will be determined by simultaneously fitting diffraction patterns and NMR spectra.
This Handbook is organised into six sections. The first contains an overview and some articles on fundamental NMR topics, followed by a section concentrating on chemical shifts, and one on coupling interactions. The fourth section contains articles describing how NMR results relate to fundamental crystallography concepts and to diffraction methods. The fifth section concerns specific aspects of structure, such as hydrogen bonding. Finally, four articles in the sixth section give applications of NMR crystallography to structural biology, organic & pharmaceutical chemistry, inorganic & materials chemistry, and geochemistry.

The
front page of the Summer 2009 issue of the "Canadian NMR
Research" news bulletin features a news report about a special
NMR symposium in honour of Professor Rod Wasylishen which was
held during the 55th International Conference on Analytical Sciences
and Spectroscopy (ICASS) at Queen’s University on August 9-12,
2009. The symposium was organized by Gang Wu and was attended
by more then 50 of Rod's colleagues and friends. Read more here.

Tenure-Track
Faculty Position, Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Chemical Biology, Carbohydrate Chemistry or a related field including the NMR of biomolecules and biologically oriented organic chemistry. Appointment will be made at the Assistant Professor level to an individual who complements the research interests of the department; an appointment at the Associate Professor level for an outstanding candidate may be considered.

If
you are planning on visiting Edmonton, don't miss a rare opportunity
to glimpse inside of a cut-open NMR magnet at the University of Alberta.
A well thought out and professionally arranged magnet display has been
recently opened to public in the Chemistry Department building. Not
only you have a chance to see what's inside of an NMR magnet, you will
also learn a great deal about NMR from a slide presentation that runs
continuously on the overhead monitor for your enjoyment. If traveling
to Edmonton is not in your plans, you can still see this presentation
online, courtesy
of Albin Otter, an NMR Facility Service Officer at the University
of Alberta, who coordinated efforts in putting this wonderful educational
display together (photo credit). |
Canadian Solid-State NMR research is front and center at the upcoming Gordon Research Conference at the University of New England, in Biddeford, Maine. Two key lectures in the “NMR of Materials” session are to be given by Rod Wasylishen (University of Alberta) and Joe Zwanziger (Dalhousie University). To register by May 24:

The 55th International Conference on Analytical Sciences and Spectroscopy (ICASS) will be held at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) on August 9-12, 2009. The conference will feature a special NMR Symposium in honour of Professor Rod Wasylishen.
The conference will also have a fantastic social program including the Magical Dinner with Canada's Magic Champion Eric Leclerc and a very popular Sunset Dinner Cruise of the Thousand Islands.
The abstract submission for oral and poster presentations is now open and will last until June 1, 2009.
ICASS offers a special discount for early bird registration which is available until April 1, 2009.

"It
appears that this summer has been full of events (personally and professionally)
that are, in one way or another, associated with Rod Wasylishen.
At the end of May, I attended the annual conference
of the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC) in Edmonton, Alberta. Rod organized
a special two-day symposium devoted to Advances in Solid-State NMR, which
many of Rod’s current and former students participated in ..."

We
are delighted to learn that Rod Wasylishen's Tier I Canada Research Chair
in Physical Chemistry has been renewed for a period of seven years (official
announcement). Rod's many scientific contributions are well-known to the
Canadian NMR community and do not require a special introduction. Besides
being a prominent world-renowned NMR researcher and a
mentor to many of us, Rod is also an active member of the 900 NMR Facility
Steering Committee. Please join us in extending our warmest congratulations
to
Rod and his family.
