Magnetic properties analytical methods

The refinement of other analytical methods, such as electrophoresis [34,36], the various techniques of optical spectroscopy [103-105], and nuclear magnetic resonance [201], is supplemented by the recent advances in real-time affinity measurements [152,202], contributing to the understanding of biomolecular reactivity. Taken together, the improvement of analytical methods will eventually allow a comprehensive characterization of the structure, topology, and properties of the nucleic acid-based supramolecular components under consideration for distinctive applications in nanobiotechnology. 

When compared to developments associated with the structure and synthesis of chiral structures, less attention has been focused on the electronic and magnetic properties of chiral molecules. Circular dichroism and related optical probes of chirality have been developed mainly as analytical tools and, indeed, they are applied routinely. However, as demonstrated in this volume, the basic physical underpinnings that link structure and chiral properties, including chiro-optical properties, continue to emerge and require the development of physical models and improvement of electronic structure methods before they are fully elucidated. 

The spectroscopy of multinuclear magnetic resonance in solution is one of the most important analytical methods in structural studies of transition metal hydride complexes. Among different nuclei, the proton plays the main role because H NMR provides a direct information about spectral properties of the hydride ligands. In addition the proton, being a non-quadrupolar and long-relaxing nucleus, gives rise to well-resolved NMR spectra which are very...
