The Very High Field NMR Center in Lyon (CRMN), France, is a research unit of the CNRS, the Université Claude Bernard de Lyon 1 and the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. It is an attractive and agile scientific and operational environment for research teams specialized in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and recognized at the highest international level.
These teams work on the most fundamental aspects of NMR, at the interface of biology, chemistry and physics, in order to:
- develop innovative methodological and instrumental breakthroughs,
- radically extend the field of application of this spectroscopy,
- allow the structure and dynamics of new ranges of compounds to be explored at atomic scale in key scientific fields with a significant societal impact
Drs Anne Lesage, Guido Pintacuda and Andrew Pell are working on the development and application of new NMR methods for atomic-scale characterization of the structure and dynamics of solid-state materials.
Their recent work focuses on the development of high-speed and/or DNP-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields, the implementation of new methodologies for paramagnetic compounds, and the application of these approaches to the characterization of a wide range of porous and non-porous materials, including organometallic catalysts, MOFs, cements, battery materials, colloids, thin films, etc.
