Multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging as a multifunctional tool for the investigation of the properties of materials, transport processes and catalytic reactions

New physicochemical applications of multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging that will determine the development of the method in the near future are considered. These include studies of solids, investigations of mass transfer processes in multiphase systems, studies on in situ reactors, heterogeneous hydrogenation with para-hydrogen and spectroscopy of long-lived singlet states. It is noted that in addition to an extension of the range of objects and processes of interest, the magnetic resonance imaging technique itself undergoes considerable changes.
