NMR Spectroscopy

What are these things?! All the lines! Splitting? Integration? This is the most confusing thing I've ever seen! OK, take it easy chief. Let Professor Dave take you through the very basics of interpreting NMR spectra.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

I'm sitting at the University of Washington library and am watching Prof Dave. I look around and see three more computers doing the same. Thank you for saving our lives.

This 14 minute video was more helpful in me learning about 1H NMR then 5 lectures taught by my prof at uni.
bless up prof dave!!

7 years later and this vid is still saving our asses

Swear to god I've had 5 lectures of this and i think this is the most complicated shit. Watch your video and I'm not confused at all. Super easy. Heaven sent.

My professor uploaded 120 minutes of lectures about NMR, yet you managed to explain it much better and in a more clear way in just 14 minutes. Thank you Professor Dave 🥺

Professor Dave without you i'd be a potato in Organic Chem. Thank you sir

I was losing train of thought on this, but all of a sudden this clicked in my head, like a virtual lightbulb going off in my head. After years of being lost in confusion by teachers over complicating this; your simple but EFFECTIVE method made me finally get my head around NMR. Thank you!!

I love how I can put off studying for an exam all the way until the weekend before the test date then just watch some Prof. Dave and get over 90% on the exam. Thanks Prof. Dave :)

omgggg I'm gonna cry. I was literally struggling with this and you just saved me with your crystal clear explanations that my lecturer wasn't able to provide.
Thank you so much and I hope you can continue making these kinds of awesome videos and keep helping out students.

Dave, you're doing important work! I was going to say you probably don't know how much you've helped undergrads get through their courses, but I reckon you probably do know! You're like my "professor-on-call"! Much appreciation 🙏

Finally I understand the chemical shift and I'm from Germany, so the fact that I understand your English explanation better than my German professor speaks for itself haha

[cristinaalexander]

I wish more teachers taught like Professor Dave. He made more sense in 15 minutes than hours of lecture. Thank you professor Dave!

I'm a highschool student from Germany who's currently trying to prepare a presentation on nmr spectroscopy. After desperately not undarsting anything properly and searching for videos in German which aren't an hour long I gave up and searched for English videos. Then I found your video and you just saved my whole presentation! Thank you!!!

I'm a Japanese student learning chemistry in university.
This video is very good for not only learning chemistry, but also listening practice of English.

[Champitoinwonderland]

Professor Dave has just explained 50 pages of my textbook of spectroscopy in less than 10 minutes in the most understandable way. Thank you for your teaching. I was completely lost on NMR spectroscopy.

8 years to this video and it’s still saving our asses

[camilajaillita]

Are you telling me that I spent 3 weeks trying to understand my professor and you made it in 14 min?! Thank you!

Professor Dave - Saving my ass since gen chem.

[maggietaylor]

HOLY CRAP!!! Ive been sitting here for HOURS trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, reading and re-reading and you just solved my problem at the 11:19 marker. I had that "lightbulb" moment. This was awesome, thank you!!
