Abstract

The field of application of solid-state NMR to the study of supramolecular systems is growing rapidly, with many research groups involved in the development of techniques for the study of crystalline and amorphous phases. This Feature Article aims to provide an overview of the recent contributions of our research group to this field, paying particular attention to the study of the weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds in supramolecular systems through solid-state NMR investigations. The structure and dynamic behaviour of selected host-guest systems will be also discussed.
