Abstract
There are varieties of methods available for the exploration of solids using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Some of these methods are quite sophisticated, others require specialized equipment. This review is addressed to those for whom NMR is not the main research method. It discusses simple methods that can be applied to solids with little or no adaptation to a specific system. Despite their technical simplicity and ease of use, these methods are powerful analytical tools that provide unique insights into the structure, dynamics, and noncovalent interactions in homo- and heterogeneous systems. Particular attention is paid to the characterization of porous materials and solids containing phosphorus. 31P NMR of organometallic compounds has been used as an example of how theoretical calculations can help in deeper analysis of experimental data.
Highlights
Nonexperts: An Overview of SimpleScience is becoming more and more interdisciplinary [1]
The main thing is to find nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-active nuclei, whose parameters depend on the property that needs to be studied
A deeper understanding of the systems under study can be achieved by calculating the effect of conformation and intermolecular interactions on NMR chemical shifts
Summary
Science is becoming more and more interdisciplinary [1]. This happens at all scales. On the contrary, when this method is used to study noncovalent interactions, the set of required NMR techniques must be expanded and adapted to the particular system under consideration. A deeper understanding of the systems under study can be achieved by calculating the effect of conformation and intermolecular interactions on NMR chemical shifts Such calculations are not always difficult, but can be very helpful in interpreting experimental results. In this short review, we demonstrate how the simplest methods of one-dimensional solid-state NMR can be applied to a variety of solid and heterogeneous samples in order to expand the possibilities of their research. Descriptions of these and advanced methods can be found elsewhere [19,20,21,22,23]
