Solid-State NMR for Investigating Crystallization from Solution

During the 61st session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings held on February 7th, 2023 via Zoom, Dr. Giulia Mollica gave a talk on the topic "Solid-state NMR for investigating crystallization from solution". The recording serves as a tutorial.

Abstract:
Crystallization underpins essential processes in our everyday life, creating exceptional materials. Yet, fundamental understanding of the mechanisms underlying crystallization processes is still lacking because of the scarcity of experimental approaches allowing atomic-level investigation of the sequence of intermediate phases formed during crystallization as a function of time. After introducing the basic principles of crystallization and the associated experimental challenges and current analytical approaches, I will discuss how NMR, coupled with hyperpolarization methods, can contribute to solve long standing questions on crystallization, with particular attention to organic polymorphic compounds. Current limitations and possible future directions will be discussed.

Dr. Giulia Mollica is a Research Director at the CNRS at the Institut de Chimie Radicalaire in Marseille, France.
