Applications of NMR Spectroscopy:

By far NMR spectroscopy is most widely and routinely used for the identification and structure elucidation of organic, biological and organometallic molecules. Therefore, extremely few attempts have been made for quantitative determination of absorbing species by NMR. This is because of high cost factor involved whereas the same information could be obtained from other economical techniques. In addition, overlap of many resonance peaks in complex systems makes the job further difficult. Despite these limitations NMR can be conveniently used for quantitative analysis. Let us take up some examples of quantitative analysis before we take up identification and structural analysis.
