Installed in May, 2005, the high field NMR laboratory at William and Mary houses three spectrometers. The flagship instrument is a Bruker Biospin, Inc. , 17.6T (750 MHz) spectrometer. First of its kind in the Commonwealth of Virginia, this spectrometer is used primarily for multinuclear NMR investigations of solid state structure and dynamics.

The high field spectrometer features an assortment of triple resonance magic angle spinning probes, cabable of operating between -150C and 150C, with spinning speeds up to 35 kHz. The laboratory also houses 7.05T and 4.7T spectrometers designed for solid state NMR studies.

The spectrometer was purchased with support from the National Science Foundation (MRI), CHE 0216200, and the Office of Naval Research (DURIP) ONR N00014-02-1-0669
