Solid-state NMR applications

Examples of the unique insights obtained by solid state NMR applications to materials science include the Si/Al distribution in zeolites, the hydrogen microstructure in amorphous films of hydrogenated silicon, and the mechanism for the zeolite-catalyzed oligomerization of olefins. ... 

NMR instrumentation consists of three chief components a magnet, a spectrometer console, and a probe. While in the past much solid state NMR research was conducted on home-built equipment, the current trend is toward the acquisition of commercial systems. The magnets used for solid state NMR applications generally are superconducting solenoids with a cylindrical bore of 89-mm diameter. The most common field strengths available, 4.7, 7.0, 9.4, and 11.7 Tesla, correspond to proton resonance frequencies near 200, 300, 400, and 500 MHz, respectively.

The aim of our contribution is to outline important recent advances and applications achieved in the area of solid state NMR based on the literature published between July 2003 and June 2004. A very large number of papers making use of solid state NMR techniques have been published during this period, however, not all of these papers have been included in this report. Specifically, over 700 references that included solid state NMR and related terms either in the title or in the keywords were initially retrieved for the preparation of this report, and approximately half of these were included in the final report. In choosing sources for this report we have aimed at highlighting publications that uses solid state NMR as the only or the primary technique for structural and/or dynamics studies of solid materials as well as those that have applied the technique in an innovative manner. In selecting references, we have also aimed at illustrating diversity of problems and subject areas covered by modern solid state NMR applications. 

An overview of high-resolution solid state NMR applications to polypeptides and membrane proteins has been presented by Luca et a/. The importance of the MAS based techniques at ultrahigh magnetic fields for the studies of insoluble or noncrystalline molecules at the atomic level is highlighted. Recently developed NMR methods suitable for the study of multiply or uniformly [ C, N]-labelled polypeptides and proteins are discussed. In addition, latest biophysical applications are reviewed. 

An overview of the recent developments in solid-state NMR applicable to studies of organometallic compounds has been presented. The rapid pace of development in this field is expected to continue - combined with new hardware, the utility of solid-state NMR in the investigation of organometallic complexes will continue to grow. Until recently, the wealth of information available from these techniques have been neglected, since the methods were often viewed as exotic or of little practical interest to anyone but physical chemists. We hope that the overview of NMR techniques presented here will convince researchers that solid-state NMR spectroscopy can be a valuable tool which can be used in their investigations. 

Various examples of solid-state NMR applications are collected in the final Section 4. This section is divided into 13 subsections depending on the type of the material studied (4.1) organic solids (4.2) inclusion compounds (4.3) amino acids and peptides (4.4) proteins (4.5) pharmaceutical and biomedical applications (4.6) polymers (4.7) carbonaceous materials (4.8) organometallic and coordination compounds (4.9) glasses and amorphous solids (4.10) micro- and mesoporous solids (4.11) surface science and catalysis, and (4.12) inorganic and other related solids. 

These texts are unquestionably useful and complete with respect to the state of the art at their time of writing. No attempt to summarize these and other related reviews will be made here frequently we will refer to this important literature and update some of the information given there. On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, no text has ever been published specifically dedicated to solid-state NMR applications to carbon science in the wide scope aimed here that is the gap the present work intends to fill. 

This review of solid state NMR applications to inclusion chemistry follows earlier reviews on this topic which appeared in 1984 [1] and 1991 [2]. The rapid growth of this area of research necessitates the much shorter review period.
