What are Some Challenges in Interpreting Chemical Shifts?
Interpreting chemical shifts in catalysis can be challenging due to: - Complexity of Catalytic Systems: Catalysts often involve complex interactions between multiple components, making it difficult to attribute shifts to specific interactions. - Dynamic Nature of Catalysis: Catalytic reactions are dynamic, with intermediates and transition states that may be short-lived and difficult to observe directly. - Interference from Solvents and Additives: Solvents and other additives can also cause shifts in the spectra, complicating the interpretation.
