Fourier transform NMR

Fourier transform NMR is a technique used to analyze the structure of molecules. It involves hitting the sample with a pulse of radio waves, causing atomic nuclei to emit signals. These signals are complex and time-based, but by applying a mathematical process called Fourier transform, they are converted into a spectrum. This spectrum reveals details about the types and environments of atoms in the molecule. In essence, Fourier transform NMR transforms raw timing data into a readable format that helps scientists determine molecular structure and interactions accurately.
