Germanium-73 is an extremely challenging nucleus to examine by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, due to its unfavorable NMR properties. Through the use of an ultrahigh (21.1 T) magnetic field, a systematic study of a series of organogermanes was carried out.
This cover article features results obtained using the 21.1 T solid-state NMR spectrometer at the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids (Ottawa, ON). If you are interested in using this spectrometer in your research please contact the Facility manager http://nmr900.ca
