Abstract

This paper presents a short overview of the contribution that NMR spectroscopy has made to clathrate science. Both have been in the realm of the experimental scientist for about 50 years. Different degrees of development of NMR spectroscopy have led to increasing sophistication in the kind of information available, best exemplified by consideration of studies on clathrate hydrates. Initially most results related to guest and host dynamics, progressing to site and structure specific measurement of chemical shift tensors and isotropic shifts that led to the ability to measure sample compositions. Currently developments are leading to time-resolved information, providing new insights into processes such as hydrate formation, as well as magnetic resonance imaging, leading to space-resolved studies of hydrate formation and decomposition.
