When combining isotope filtering/editing with coherence transfer steps to multidimensional experiments, then further size restrictions apply. For example, isotope edited / filtered H TOCSY or COSY experiments are generally limited to systems of <10 kDa, because of their sensitivity to T2 relaxation. In larger systems, heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy can be used for the correspondingly labeled component, while structural information about both the labeled and unlabeled moiety can be extracted from isotope edi-ted/filtered NOESY spectra, respectively. 

All the spectroscopic approaches applied for structural characterization of mixtures derive from methods originally developed for screening libraries for their biological activities. They include diffusion-ordered spectroscopy [15-18], relaxation-edited spectroscopy [19], isotope-filtered affinity NMR [20] and SAR-by-NMR [21]. These applications will be discussed in the last part of this chapter. As usually most of the components show very similar molecular weight, their spectroscopic parameters, such as relaxation rates or selfdiffusion coefficients, are not very different and application of these methodologies for chemical characterization is not straightforward. An exception is diffusion-edited spectroscopy, which can be a feasible way to analyze the structure of compounds within a mixture without the need of prior separation. This was the case for the analysis of a mixture of five esters (propyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, isopropyl butyrate and butyl levulinate) [18]. By the combined use of diffusion-edited NMR and 2-D NMR methods such as Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY), it was possible to elucidate the structure of the components of this mixture. This strategy was called diffusion encoded spectroscopy DECODES. Another example of combination between diffusion-edited spectroscopy and traditional 2-D NMR experiment is the DOSY-NOESY experiment [22]. The use of these experiments have proven to be useful in the identification of compounds from small split and mix synthetic pools.

A CD-ROM is attached containing a teaching course of Mossbauer spectroscopy (ca. 300 ppt frames), a selection of examples of applications of Mossbauer spectroscopy in various fields (ca. 500 ppt frames), review articles on computation and interpretation of Mossbauer parameters using modem quantum-mechanical methods, list of properties of isotopes relevant to Mossbauer spectroscopy, appendices refering to book chapters, and the first edition of this book which appeared in 1978. In subsequent printmns files are available via springer.extra.com (see imprint page). 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, arguably the most powerful technique in chemistry, is a relatively insensitive method, but in the short time interval between the appearance of the first and second editions of the Encyclopedia of Analytical Sciences, considerable improvements have been made. Consequently, the range of applications that now become possible is greatly expanded as is illustrated here for the two isotopes of hydrogen, tritium ( H) and deuterium ( H) further developments are also anticipated.
