Solid-State NMR Studies on Supramolecular Chemistry

Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) methods provide new insights in the investigation of the structure and dynamics of condensed phases. Advances in commercial solid-state hardware and the developments of new pulse sequences have been of paramount importance for overcoming the earlier resolution problems and yield spectra sensitive to intra- and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding and π–π interactions. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the recent development of the technique for the study of the structure and dynamics of supramolecular systems paying particular attention to the role of the weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds through NMR chemical shift as well as the through-space dipolar coupling SSNMR investigations.
