How Does Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy Work?
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei. When placed in a magnetic field, these nuclei absorb and re-emit electromagnetic radiation at characteristic frequencies. NMR can provide detailed information about the electronic environment, molecular structure, and dynamics of catalysts. It is particularly useful for studying homogeneous catalysts and mechanisms of catalytic reactions in solution.
