<h3>Bringing order to disordered materials - an NMR crystallography approach</h3>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Abstract</span> :</strong></p>
<p>Heterogeneity is a universal property observed in nature and in artificial materials such as ceramics, supramolecular systems, coordination polymers and catalysts. Disorder can be compositional, positional or even dynamic in nature, and it is these deviations from the perfect translation order that is typically assumed characterises the solid state that often led to the interesting physical and chemical properties of materials that can be exploited for industrial, economic social or medical use. The enduring quest in this field would be the rational design of a functional material with very specific properties, but in many cases, this is a long way from being a reality owing, in part at least, to a lack of understanding of the structure-property relationships, and the absence of suitable techniques to accurately characterize these systems. Approaches based on Bragg diffraction often rely on long-range order, whereas spectroscopy techniques, such as solid-state NMR spectroscopy, are uniquely sensitive to the atomic-scale environment and so provide a valuable probe of the local structure, disorder, and dynamics. NMR Crystallography is an ideal tool to provide a detailed understanding of disordered materials on a range of length scales.<sup>[1]</sup></p>
