Applications of Nuclear Quadrupole Double Resonance Spectroscopy

Abstract

dc:description

Nuclear quadrupole double resonance (NQR) spectroscopy can yield direct information about the nature of chemical bonding at a particular quadrupolar nucleus (S (GREATERTHEQ) 1) in a molecular crystal. However, due to experimental difficulties related to the low transition frequencies generally associated with the light nuclei (D, ('10)B, ('11)B, ('14)N, and ('17)O) and, in the case of ('17)O, the low natural abundance, the contribution of NQR spectroscopy to our understanding of chemical bonding has been small. Only recently have nuclear quadrupole double resonance techniques been developed to facilitate observation of NQR spectra of the light elements.
