New theory for analyzing interacting nuclear spins in solvents

(Ruhr-University Bochum) The RUB's excellence cluster RESOLV has achieved successful results only a few months after its inception: by applying nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, an international team comprised i.e. of researchers from the RUB has solved a long-standing theoretical problem regarding the identification of solvent structures. Their model postulates that the coupling of nuclear spins in different molecules is determined by the frequency of the applied electromagnetic radiatio...
