Magnetic Resonance Methods in Catalysis
Magnetic resonance (MR), comprising of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopies, is a well-established tool to probe the structure and operation of catalysts. It is efficient for both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, and provides a flexible set of experimental methods to study the organization of catalytic sites, the molecular mechanisms of the catalytic reactions, analysis the intermediate species and dynamics of reagents. The wide-ranging tools at the disposal of MR enable non-invasive characterization of catalytic systems across diverse time and length scales. Over the past decade, these experimental methodologies have been enhanced by additional methods of the theoretical chemistry including, but not limited to the molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry techniques. These recent achievements are significant as they, in tandem with MR methods, provide detailed understanding of the electronic state of the catalyst’s active sites. The development of MR is a continuous and vivid process, and the aim of this special issue is to reflect some recent and interesting achievements in MR applications to catalysis.

Daniil I. Kolokolov (Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Russia)
Graduated from Novosibirsk State University in Chemical Physics (2007, M.Sc.), Daniil I. Kolokolov has passed his Ph.D. track within a French-Russian joint Ph.D. (Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SB RAS and Claude Bernard University Lyon1). He is focused on using the Solid State 2H NMR, neutron scattering and computational methods to resolve dynamical phenomena and organization in complex systems: sorbents, solid catalysts, zeolites and metal-organic frameworks-based systems, and ionic liquids. Author of more than 70 publications, he currently holds the position of the level of senior research fellow at Boreskov Institute of Catalysis.

Oleg N. Martyanov (Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Russia)
Prof. Dr. Oleg N. Martyanov is the Deputy Director of Science at the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SB RAS. With over 280 publications to his credit, he leads a scientific team specialising in conducting in situ studies of the structure-property relationships in multi-component systems: heterogeneous catalysts and related functional materials, focusing on studies at elevated temperatures, pressures, sub- and supercritical conditions. His recent achievements relate to the development of the EPR and IR techniques used for the quantification and visualization of heterogeneous catalysts and physico-chemical transformations of heavy oils.
