Abstract
Abstract. Since its discovery in 1946, nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy has rapidly become the most widely used technique for solving
structural and dynamic problems in modern chemistry. Today, it’s difficult to
find a university in the world without several NMR spectrometers of various
types operating in its laboratories. Achievements in this field over nearly 80
years of development have been recognized with four Nobel Prizes in Physics and
Chemistry. During this time, fifth-generation high-resolution NMR spectrometers
have been developed-complex measurement and computing systems utilizing the
latest advances in electronics, cryogenics, and computing technology.
Scientists from the USSR and Russia have made significant contributions to this
exceptionally rapid progress. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the
establishment of one of the country’s first NMR laboratories, focused on
solving complex chemical problems, at the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State
University. This article describes the history of its creation and a number of
research projects implemented within its framework. The goal of these projects,
in addition to solving specific chemical problems, was also to develop the NMR
methodological arsenal.
Key words: dynamic NMR, metallotropic tautomerism, haptotropic rearrangements,
isotope shifts, 199Hg NMR, NMR on natural deuterium abundance,
precision analysis of high-resolution spectra
