This application note highlights how Unbiased Structure Verification (UBV) in ACD/NMR Workbook combines advanced structure generators with the finest ranking systems to select the ‘best structure’ corresponding to an NMR dataset.

1H NMR is the go-to technique to help identify or confirm the structure of organic compounds. A solution-state proton spectrum is relatively fast to acquire and a lot of information about the structure of a compound can be deduced from it. With centuries of combined experience in NMR data interpretation, we thought we’d share the basics of analyzing solution-phase 1H NMR spectra in this blog.

Calculation of solution-state NMR parameters, including chemical shift values and scalar coupling constants, is often a crucial step for unambiguous structure assignment. Data-driven (sometimes called empirical) methods leverage databases of known parameter values to estimate parameters for unknown or novel molecules. This is in contrast to popular ab initio techniques that use detailed quantum computational chemistry...

Toronto, CANADA (Nov. 1, 2021)—ACD/Labs, an informatics company that develops and commercializes software in support of R&D, today announced the much-anticipated release of the first commercial browser-based NMR processing software, Spectrus JS. Announced in March 2021, Spectrus JS brings NMR processing tools users know and love from the desktop to the browser. Users can securely process...
