Three-dimensional solution NMR spectroscopy of complex structures and mixtures

This paper reviews the non-biological applications of three dimensional NMR (3D-NMR) spectroscopy methodologies for studying chemical structures in polymer science, dendrimer research, organometallic chemistry, organosilicon chemistry, and mixtures of small organic molecules. Four methodologies for solving chemical structure problems are described, where the appropriate method is determined by the presence or absence of a third X nucleus (in addition to (1)H and (13)C) with suitable NMR properties.
