Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides information about the structure of molten salts and about interactions among molten salt components. This contribution reviews the application of NMR spectroscopy to molten salts done in this laboratory and by others. The fundamentals of the NMR method are presented, with emphasis on aspects particularly useful to molten salt samples. The limitations to the method resulting from the nature of molten salts and nuclei encountered are discussed. Examples of the types of information about molten salts provided by NMR experiments that are useful to chemists are presented. Chloroaluminate molten salts are the primary melt system used to illustrate the usefulness of NMR spectroscopy. Experiments in organic melts and the use of 205Tl as a probe in nitrates and halides are also treated.
