Abstract

NMR spectroscopy is one of the most powerful analytical methods. Along with its crucial in Chemistry, it has extremely wide applications in all science fields and medicine (MRI). With the current knowledge and technology, it is not possible to measure NMR spectra for zerospin nuclei. This is a severe limitation of the analytical method itself, and more important, to science, technology and medicine. In this communication we propose theoretical basis for activation of zero-spin nuclei, and consequently, enabling NMR spectra for compounds that contain them.

Keywords: chiral center, polarized light, zero-spin nuclei, NMR spectroscopy, 12C, 13C.
