NMR Processor Freeware for Academics!

I am very pleased to make the first post on this blog as I get to announce that ACD/Labs is making it's world-renowned ACD/NMR Processor, Freeware for academics!

Get it here

This blog will serve as your one stop shop for learning the ins and outs of ACD/NMR Processor. My colleagues Joe DiMartino and Andy McLachlan, will be the main authors of this blog and will be regularly updating this space with tips and tricks, movies, insights, etc. Please feel free to leave a comment or a question and they will get back to you on the blog. Also, subscribe to the RSS feed with your feed reader, or subscribe for updates by email so you will instantly receive notice once this blog is updated.

To get you started, I highly encourage the following 3 docs to help you get started faster:

ACD/1D NMR Processor: Basic Training

ACD/2D NMR Processor: Basic Training

ACD/NMR Processor: Interactive FT

Over the years we had seen first-hand the evolution of walk up and open access NMR labs throughout academic institutions around the globe. During this time we observed the value that our software provides to these environments in academia and felt it was time to provide these tool for free to this community. By doing so we can ensure that all students and staff affiliated with an academic institution can benefit from free access to our software regardless of their financial situation.

Furthermore, many major organizations around the world have adopted ACD/Labs tools as their standard for NMR data handling, and we believe that exposing students to these tools before moving into the workforce will give them a head start.

ACD/NMR Processor has been one of the most popular offline desktop processing tools for 1D and 2D NMR data over the last decade. The software first made its name as a vendor-neutral processing and analysis platform that could truly integrate NMR spectra with chemical structures. Since then it has evolved into a mature package that includes a host of incredibly useful features to help students, chemists, and spectroscopists get the most out of their NMR data.

The download link DOES NOT WORK! It always says "nmrproc_academia12.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator."
HELP!

Any chance of an installer that will work with WINE in linux?

[Andy McLachlan]

Hi Ben,
No, unfortunately. For cross-platform use, we recommend using virtualisation rather than emulation to run the software.

[Chris]

Having trouble with the download/install process. I and two others in my lab are getting errors when the install wizard tries to decompress files. Error message says file is corrupted. any thoughts? (NB: .exe file downloaded 10-6-10, installing on Windows XP)

[Andy McLachlan]

Hi Chris,

It seems that there was a problem with the file on the server. We have updated and checked it, and it should now work fine.

ACD NMR seems to run fine under Wine 1.1.44 for OS X (WineBottler). The only issue that I've found so far is that the mouse scroll wheel causes the program to hang for a moment while scaling the spectrum. You mileage may vary.

[Lindsay Edwards]

David,
Any chance of putting up the settings you used for Wine Bottler. I am running 1.1.44 under Snow Leopard the install is hanging at about halfway.

[David]

It seems like someone hacked the download page. I can't seem to download the software.

[David Newsham]

@Lindsay Edwards: I had suggested to Ryan that you may need to upgrade to XQuarts, but it turns out that everything works just fine with Apple's own X11 too. The software will install using WineBottler and Snow Leopard, but it will appear to hang about halfway. For some reason, the installer hides itself in the Dock (with a black icon) twice. Clicking it will allow you to continue as expected. However, you will have another problem whereby the software will start correctly the first time, but then fail thereafter.

There is a known incompatibility between Wine and the ACD applications (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3917). Each time the NMR or ChemSketch app is closed, it creates the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD)\Size." As long as this key exists, the apps will will not display their main window on startup and Wine logs several errors regarding window placement.

There are two workarounds. The first is to launch the apps with Wine's /MAX flag, such as "wine start /MAX C:\\Program\ Files\\ACD\\specman.exe." However, the bug will still prevent you from switching between NMR and ChemSketch. The second option is to delete this registry key each time you launch specman.exe, which forces the app to start with its default window size. I don't know how to do this using WineBottler, since it wraps Wine and prevents me from passing command line arguments, but it is fairly easy when using regular Wine. With a little modification (apt-get instead of MacPorts, etc.), this solution should also work for Linux users.

1. If you didn't install X11 along with OS X, install XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki . This is used by Wine to display windows.

2. If you don't already have XCode installed, download it from http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html (Free registration required) and install. This will install the necessary compilers.

3. Download and install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/install.php . MacPorts allows you to easily install Unix applications without having to worry about dependencies or compiling. Everything is installed in /opt/local rather than the usual /usr/local to avoid conflicts.

4. From Terminal.app run "sudo port install wine" and wait for MacPorts to compile Wine and its dependencies. This might take quite a while.

5. Run the ACD installer from Terminal.app by typing "wine ~/Downloads/ACD12.exe" (substituting the appropriate path to the installer)

6. Follow the installation prompts (noting that the installer will minimize itself to the Dock) to choose your install path. I chose C:\Program Files\ACD. By default, Wine will create the C:\ disk, or "Wine prefix," within ~/.wine

7. Open AppleScript Editor.app and paste in the following two lines, being sure to substitute your installation path if it is different from mine:

do shell script "/opt/local/bin/wine regedit.exe /D HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\\\Software\\\\Advanced\\ Chemistry\\ Development\\ \\(ACD\\)\\\\Size"
do shell script "/opt/local/bin/wine C:\\\\Program\\ Files\\\\ACD\\\\specman.exe"

8. Finally, save the script as an application and add it to your dock. Now you can launch ACD NMR just like any other app!

Bonjour,
Je suis dans l'incapacité d'ouvrir mes fichiers de RMN, ils sont sous format .ESP, et le logiciel m'indique que l'extension n'est pas valide. Il faudrait qu'ils soienr sous format .HSP et .CSP.
Comment faire ?
Merci.

[JEAN Céline]

Hello,
I am in the incapacity to open my files of NMR, they are under format .ESP, and the software indicates to me that the extension is not valid. It would be necessary that they are under format .HSP and .CSP.
How to make?
Thank you

Hi ACD team,
I have not been able to transfer the manually numbered chemical structure from Chemsketch to the processor. I mean, as the structure appears in the processor it takes the automatic numbering. Is there a way to overcome this problem?

Thanks a lot for giving NMR processor as a free software. It is really very useful in our day to day NMR related academic work.

Regards

[Ajibade]

Great work on windows!
pls can you help me with informations so that i can instal chemsketch on my MacBook OS X ver 10.4.11. I am finding it very difficult to install. Thanks for the great job.

This knowledge is a source of instant messaging and interesting, glad you read this article. Moreover, they see what happens later. In general, I do not think to post on his blog - but this post has nothing to do really, I just want to say! There's good news. Very detailed information. I am glad to read this article. Thank you good news articles.
