Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Other Nuclides

The most commonly used nuclides other than hydrogen-1 and carbon-13 are fluorine-19 and phosphorus-31. In addition, there is increasing usage of NMR with other spin 1/2 nuclei, such as Si-29, Fe-57, Ag-107, Ag-109, Sn-117, Sn-119, W-183, Pt-195, Hg-199, and Pb-207. See G. H. Fuller, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, 5, 835 (1976) for a more comprehensive list. Quadrupolar nuclei with spins from 1 to 9/2 are also described by Fuller. For example, nitrogen-14 exhibits a spin of 1, lithium-7 a spin of 3/2, boron-10 a spin of 3, oxygen-17 a spin of 5/2, cobalt-59 a spin of 7/2, and indium-115 a spin of 9/2.
