¹H NMR is employed in catalysis for several purposes:
- Characterizing Catalysts: It helps in determining the structure and composition of catalytic materials, including both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. - Monitoring Reactions: ¹H NMR can track the progress of catalytic reactions in real-time, providing insights into reaction mechanisms and kinetics. - Studying Intermediates: It identifies and characterizes reaction intermediates, which are crucial for understanding catalytic pathways. - Evaluating Active Sites: It provides information about active sites in catalysts and their interaction with substrates.
