How Does NMR Complement Other Analytical Techniques?
NMR spectroscopy complements other analytical techniques by providing information on the molecular structure and dynamics that cannot be obtained through other methods. For example, while techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD) provide information on the crystalline structure of solid catalysts, NMR offers insights into the local chemical environment and molecular interactions. Combining NMR with techniques like Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Electron Microscopy (EM) allows for a more holistic understanding of catalytic systems.
