No, I am not talking about Bart, Homer, or Marge.
I am talking about Andre and Myrna Simpson:
Congratulations to both Andre and Myrna for being recognized by the acclaimed Toronto Star as one out of ten people, bands, or teams to keep an eye out for in 2008.
Toronto is a huge city with rising stars everywhere, and it is nice to see a couple of chemists getting the recognition they deserve.
Andre and Myrna are good friends with ACD/Labs and close collaborators on a number of interesting projects over the years. Andre has also presented at our seminars multiple times at conferences around the globe.
Congratulations again to Myrna and Andre!
So how do you feel about that definition of what NMR is?
"By measuring the rate of spin in its magnetic field, the NMR deciphers the molecular structure of tiny samples. It can distinguish orange juice that's naturally sweet from juice sweetened with sugar, because the sugar molecules differ."

Other than being a poor, inaccurate, and oversimplified attempt...I think it's great :)
and we certainly wouldn't need software if the NMR could do all the deciphering for us either!

Ahhhhh yes... "By measuring the rate of spin in its magnetic field, the NMR deciphers the molecular structure of tiny samples. It can distinguish orange juice that's naturally sweet from juice sweetened with sugar, because the sugar molecules differ."
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over simplified and inaccurate to say the very least!

how can you help, if we want

help me in determining structure if i require, please

Hi Sangam,
If you are looking for software that can help you in solving an unknown structure, ACD/Structure Elucidator may be able to help.
The best way to evaluate it's performance is to take the elucidator challenge which requires you submitting you data to us and we will provide you with the results of the elucidation.
