Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is achieved by exciting an atom's quantum spin state and examining the energy released during its relaxation. This provides information on the identity and environment of the molecules present. Additionally, the longer relaxation time scale associated with NMR allows for various molecular dynamics and kinetics to be studied.
Typical Applications
- Compound identification
- Molecular kinetics
- Molecular dynamics
- Molecular diffusion
- Mixture analysis
