#New nuclear magnetic resonance method enables monitoring of chemical reactions in metal containers

“#New nuclear magnetic resonance method enables monitoring of chemical reactions in metal containers” B–>C) is initiated inside a metal reactor inserted into a magnetically shielded enclosure. The NMR spectrum of the heterogeneous (gas/liquid) reaction is recorded with an atomic magnetometer positioned next to the reactor. Analysis of the spectra acquired during the course of the…
