description

Abstract This review article is oriented on NMR applications in studying various dynamic processes of organic molecules. The topic as a whole is too large to be covered exhaustively in one article or by one author. Therefore, the literature searches are limited mainly for the years 1999–2001. Further, many interesting branches joined essentially with organic chemistry such as supramolecular and organometallic chemistry are left outside this article because there exist recent reviews on these topics. Similarly, the theoretical background of dynamic NMR is not included. The nature of dynamic NMR itself is changing with the recent progress in computational possibilities to estimate the different contributors involved in dynamic processes and in reproducing experimental NMR parameters, especially chemical shifts by density functional theory (DFT) approaches. This article tries to highlight these developments and future trends in organic chemistry, which hopefully forms a firm basis for the same progress in larger many electron systems such as organometallics and biological macromolecules.
