Solid State NMR

Recent methodological developments dramatically increased the applications of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Accurate and high resolution information obtained from these experiments are remarkable. The range of systems (from macroscopically ordered to amorphous and hydrated to dry solids) that can be studied using solid-state NMR techniques is highly valuable in the investigation of chemical, biological and medicinal problems. This symposium will cover a range of recently developed experimental methods and their applications to study several types of materials in solid-state.
