Development of 43Ca solid state NMR spectroscopy as a probe of local structure in inorganic and molecular materials

Abstract

43Ca solid state NMR is comprehensively reviewed up to early 2012. ► The effects of the physical properties of 43Ca for NMR observation are outlined. ► A range of applications especially for inorganic materials are described. ► First principles calculation of NMR parameters is shown to augment experiments. ► Correlations of NMR interactions to local structure (e.g. Ca–O) are examined
