Solid‐State NMR in Well‐Defined Heterogeneous Catalysts

Abstract

Characterization of sites on surfaces is challenging. Many spectroscopic methods are available to surface science, though few provide the detailed molecular level information as solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. This entry describes selected examples showing some of the features of solid‐state NMR spectra that give detailed information about structure, dynamics, and speciation on surfaces. This entry describes applications of spin ½ and quadrupolar nuclei.
