Teaching structural with NMRium - Series of exercises with answers

· 2 min read

As someone deeply passionate about online teaching, I've always been interested in creating resources that are not only innovative but also accessible to all, regardless of geographical or economic constraints.

With this in mind, I'm delighted to present NMRium, a browser-based software designed to enhance the teaching of NMR structural analysis. Beyond its accessibility, it also offers an engaging and enjoyable learning experience, injecting both fun and motivation into the process.

NMRium's standout feature is the new 'Hints' system. This intelligent tool guides students towards the correct answer by checking the difference between their proposed answer and the correct one, providing hints without giving away the solution.

Here are some exercises you can start using right away and share with your students:
A simple series focusing on common solvents found in organic chemistry labs.

A series focusing on predicted proton NMR spectra of structural isomers of the same molecular formula:

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Please feel free to share this email with your colleagues.

All the best,

Structural elucidation by NMR and Hints

Teaching NMR spectrometry to a big group of students is tough. You want the students to solve structural elucidation problems on their own. Yet, you can't explain the reasoning to each one.

In this new update of www.nmrium.org we propose a middle ground. The students can ask for hints to help them find the right answer. However, we want them to be aware of the number of wrong answers or hints they have asked for, and therefore, we display corresponding badges (red for wrong answers and orange for the number of hints).

You may try by yourself and give us feedback. You are of course free to share all the series available on https://www.nmrium.org/teaching but we can also assist you to create your own series. Currently 2 series propose hints:
