Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a tool to characterize natural organic matter and soil samples. The basic principles

Abstract

Basic principles of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SS-NMR) are presented here. This paper is not pretending to provide an exhaustive treatment of the basics of SS-NMR. However, it will give an overview of the main applications in the characterization of environmental systems and will describe the problems related to the acquisition of quantitative solid state NMR spectra.
