Summary
Introduction and reviews
The applications of NMR techniques to the study of translational motion is enormous and it is impossible to give anything approaching a comprehensive review. Consequently, only a smattering of papers from the different areas of application is presented and, in general, instead of citing the first paper with respect to each application, more recent papers have been chosen and the interested reader should consult the references listed therein. The classification of different studies is complicated since many studies have significance in more than one area. Numerous reviews on PGSE NMR have already appeared in the literature including ones of a general nature. Similarly, there are many books and review articles devoted entirely or in part to the use and applications of MRI techniques to study translational motion and mass transfer including clinical applications and rheological studies.
There are also a large number of more specialised reviews (or reviews on specialised areas including sections on gradient-based NMR techniques) dealing with NMR measurements of translational motion on diffusion-weighted spectroscopy for studying intact mammalian tissues, drug binding, exchange and combinatorial chemistry, flow, heterogeneous systems, liquid crystals, membranes and surfactants, organometallics, polymers, porous systems including zeolites, and solids.
Reviews have also been presented on the complementarity of the structural information that can be obtained from NMR diffusion measurements with that obtained from NOE experiments, the use of PGSE NMR in the studies of physicochemical processes in molecular systems, applications to environmental science, ENMR, the spectral editing of complex mixtures with particular emphasis on techniques involving diffusion, and B1 gradient-based measurements.
