ICYMI I would like to highlight Len Mueller's chapter "Quantitative Tools for Structure Selection in NMR Crystallography" from the new @RoySocChemBooks "Modern NMR Crystallography" A must read! #NMRchat doi.org/10.1039/9781...
Quantitative Tools for Structure Selection in NMR Crystallography
A nearly universal component of NMR crystallography is the ranking of candidate structures based on how well their first-principles predicted NMR parameter

Halogen Bond Strength in Solids Quantified via Zeeman-Perturbed Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy
Proton NMR is a ubiquitous and valuable probe of hydrogen bonds. Conversely, 127I NMR of strong halogen bond (XB) donors is hopeless due to quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ) on the order of GHz. We ...
