Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Analysis

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis is a technique used to determine the structure and properties of molecules by observing how atomic nuclei, primarily hydrogen, respond to strong magnetic fields and radio waves. When placed in a magnetic field, these nuclei resonate at specific frequencies depending on their environment within the molecule. By analyzing these signals, scientists can identify the type, number, and arrangement of atoms in a compound, providing detailed insights into its molecular structure. NMR is widely used in chemistry, medicine (as MRI), and materials science for non-destructive, precise analysis.
