Residual Dipolar Couplings - AValuable NMR Parameter for Small Organic Molecules

Abstract

The partial alignment of small organic molecules is now also possible in organic solvents by mechanically constrained polymer gels or modified liquid-crystalline phases. This paves the way to apply residual dipolar couplings to small molecules and thus to use an additional NMR parameter to determine the structure and configuration of small organic molecules (e.g. spiroindene (1).
