Automated detection of broad NMR spectra: 19 F NMR of paramagnetic UF 4 and 195 Pt NMR of supported Pt catalysts.

The automated detection of broad NMR spectra via the controlled stepwise motion of the NMR probe along the field axis of the superconducting solenoid is demonstrated for the detection of 19 F NMR of paramagnetic UF4 and 195 Pt NMR of supported metal catalysts. The sensitivity advantages of performing these measurements at 2.3 T are discussed with reference to applying this methodology to room temperature in situ electrochemical 195 Pt NMR.
