Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Modern Methods

Amplification of the available magnetic field strengths in the previous decades made modern solid-state NMR one of the most informative tools in many physical and chemical areas including heterogeneous catalysis. However, in some cases, the magnetic field strength is not the decisive factor in the experiment. That is where modern advanced techniques such as intricate pulse programs, correlation experiments, dynamic nuclear polarization, and selective isotope enrichment come in handy. This review does not aim to encompass every possible application of solid-state NMR in catalysis, but the authors have tried to include the examples of the most advanced and state-of-the-art experiments with supported oxide catalysts, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks that allowed tackling even the most challenging problems.
