NMR is nowadays an important tool for the monitoring of chemical reactions in academic and industrial settings. Utilization of the inherent structural and quantitative information delivered via NMR spectroscopy provides detailed mechanistic insights and increased process understanding.
During the past few years, various approaches to reaction monitoring by NMR have shown that online monitoring is the most effective method to obtain accurate and consistent kinetic data. This approach is far superior to other, more traditional, methods (e.g. holding a sample static within the magnet or periodically removing, inverting and returning the NMR tube).
After being Introduced in 2017 the InsightMR flow tube has been widely used for online reaction monitoring. This accessory can be easily applied to a standard spectrometer system when required for an online measurement campaign: the spectrometer can then be quickly returned to its normal configuration.
Based on customer feedback and ideas from other sources, the insightMR has been further developed, for example so that it can readily cope with risk of clogging and so that different diameter NMR tubes can be used. The details of this enhanced product, the InsightMR 2.0, will be described during this seminar.

Matteo Pennestri, Ph. D.
Team Leader, PAT and Automation, Pharma Business Unit Bruker BioSpin
Matteo Pennestri obtained his Ph.D. in Biophysical methods at the University of Tor Vergata Rome (collaboration with Merck Sharp and Dohme). Then he moved as NMR spectroscopist in the pharmaceutical industry (MSD and EISAI). After experiencing the pharma sector, he joined as application scientist Agilent Technologies first (ex. Varian) and Bruker afterwards. After joining the Bruker Pharma unit as NMR specialist and Product Manager he recently become Team Leader PAT for Automation and Process Analytical Technology.
Ulrich Hintermair
Royal Society University Research Fellow
Centre for Sustainable and Circular TechnologiesUlrich Hintermair studied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in Würzburg and Lyon, finishing with a Master project at the University of St Andrews. After a PhD with Walter Leitner at Aachen he was a Humboldt fellow with Bob Crabtree at Yale University. In 2013 he started his independent career at the CSCT in Bath where he currently holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Besides fundamental coordination chemistry and organometallic synthesis he is most interested in finding out how catalytic reactions work, for which his team uses a combination of online and in-situ analytical techniques (see https://www.bath.ac.uk/research-facilities/dynamic-reaction-monitoring-facility/).
