Description of the method
Nuclear magnetic resonance (abbreviated to NMR) is one of the standard methods used to investigate the structure of organic and organometallic molecules, as well as biomolecules in solution. NMR utilises the magnetic behaviour of atomic nuclei (for example, ¹H, ¹³C or ¹⁹F) in a strong magnetic field.
Examples of applications
- Structural elucidation of organic and organometallic compounds
- Structural elucidation of biomolecules
- Investigation of the structural dynamics of these compounds
- Identification of reaction products in synthesis
- Observation and characterisation of reaction kinetics
- Characterisation of polymers and their sequences
- Detection of impurities and degradation products
