Physical methods and techniques: NMR spectroscopy

Abstract

NMR spectroscopy continues to evolve, with publications in 2010 providing an eclectic collection of applications, advances and incremental improvements. A new 45 MHz NMR spectrometer was announced by PicoSpin: the world's first high-resolution NMR spectrometer that has the “foot-print” of a shoe-box. It is a programmable pulse-FT system that uses a permanent magnet and a flow-capillary sample delivery system. I am indebted to the great and the good whose work has been reported here, all credit is theirs; errors, omissions and blame are all mine.
