Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an important method for materials characterisation and for the study of polymer structure-property relationships. The importance of NMR as a technique arises in part because the signals can be assigned to specific atoms along the polymer backbone and side chains [1,2]. The properties of the NMR signals depend on the magnetic environment of the NMR active nuclei, and the local fields that they experience. Since the NMR spectrum is determined by local forces, this method provides valuable and unique information about polymers on an atomic-length scale. 

Some important properties of the NMR active isotopes of Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag and Cd are collected in Table 1. From the practical point of view the receptivity (R) relative to that of C (=1) is one of the most important terms in estimating how easily a nucleus can be observed by NMR. In the case of nuclei with, I=j such as Y, ° Rh, ° Ag, ° Ag, Cd and " Cd, which are characterized by sharp NMR spectral lines, this parameter can be used as a direct basis in this estimation. However, a nuclear quadrupole moment can produce serious broadening of the spectral lines and hence decrease the signal to noise ratio in the NMR spectra. In the case of transition metal nuclei this signed broadening can be the most serious limiting factor from a practical NMR point of view. For example, Pd should be a promising NMR nucleus based on its receptivity... 

A correlation analysis is a powerful tool used widely in various fields of theoretical and experimental chemistry. Generally, such an analysis, based on a statistically representative mass of data, can lead to reliable relationships that allow us to predict or to estimate important characteristics of still unknown molecular systems or systems unstable for direct experimental measurements. First, this statement concerns structural, thermodynamic, kinetic, and spectroscopic properties. For example, despite the very complex nature of chemical screening in NMR, particularly for heavy nuclei, various incremental schemes accurately predict their chemical shifts, thus providing a structural analysis of new molecular systems. Relationships for the prediction of physical or chemical properties of compounds or even their physiological activity are also well known. 

H NMR spectrometry is the foundation upon which we will build an understanding of the magnetic resonance of other nuclei, especially 13C, which leads to the important advanced correlation experiments. We began by describing the magnetic properties of nuclei, noting the special importance of spin 1/2 nuclei. For practical... 

The study of chemical speciation requires that the irradiation energy be in the range of chemical bonds. There are some methods in which chemical structure can influence the properties of the nuclei. The most important method is nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Another example is Mossbauer spectroscopy, in which the oxidation state and the chemical environment affect the... 

NMR spectroscopy exploits the magnetic properties of nuclei to give important qualitative and quantitative information on biological samples. There are various different forms of this important technique, but in each case NMR spectroscopy relies on fundamental NMR theory discussed earlier. 

While complete X-ray analysis will establish the structure in the solid state, it is useful to have NMR data on the solution state that illustrate the increase of the coordination number of silicon. It would seem that NMR spectroscopy of nuclei participating directly in donor-acceptor interaction is especially important in investigating silicon compounds with an expanded coordination sphere. This requires the use of Si NMR spectroscopy since the electron shell of the silicon atom, the bond angles and lenghts are strongly affected upon complexation. Valuable information could also be obtained with by " N, N, 0, F NMR data since these elements act as donors. Chemical shifts of nuclei other than hydrogen are determined by various factors and not yet understood well anough to provide easily applied correlations of other physical properties of the molecules.
