Most nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) users dissolve their samples in deuterated versions of popular solvents such as chloroform, acetone, or dimethyl sulfoxide. For many purposes, such as reaction ...

A vacuum oven is better. If it is not practical to wait until the NMR tubes are completely dry, use a deuterated solvent such as D 2 O in the final washing cycle. Sample degradation or precipitation ...

Solid state deuteron NMR is widely used for dynamic investigations. The dominant (1st order quadrupole) interaction is is small enough to permit easy detection, and since the electric field gradient ...
