Gas-phase NMR of nuclei other than 1H and 13C

The chapter presents the basis of the gas-phase NMR spectroscopy of nuclei other than 1H and 13C. It is devoted to features specific to gas-phase investigations of nuclear shielding, spin-spin coupling, and nuclear relaxation. These studies provide NMR parameters corresponding to the state of isolated molecules, enable the precise determination of nuclear magnetic moments, and provide information on NMR isotope substitution effects. Moreover, NMR gas-phase studies are considered from the perspective of applications, e.g., in porous materials and as case studies of particular elements: noble gases, halogens, oxygen and sulfur, boron, nitrogen and phosphorus, silicon, germanium, tin, and heavy metals such as lead and tungsten.
