Resonance Mossbauer spectroscopy in chemistry

As far as the volume of information that can be obtained on chemical and physical properties of chemical compounds, TRS occupies a leading position. Nuclear transitions correspond to energy difference 10 eV but the effect to be measured relates to 10 -10 eV however, Mossbauer spectroscopy resolution is so high that it successfully solves such problems. In addition, this method can find nearly all the effects of nuclear interactions with an electronic shell it carries extremely valuable information on molecular or crystal structure. 

For chemical researchers studying magnetic fields acting on the nucleus of Mossbauer atoms, this is of essential interest as the magnetic field on the nucleus is caused by spin, radial and angular distributions of electronic density in an atom.
