The impact of multi-NMR spectroscopy on the development of noble-gas chemistry

The role of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the structural studies of xenon and krypton species has been essential to the development of noble-gas chemistry since the early 19F-NMR studies carried out in Ronald J. Gillespie's laboratory at McMaster University in the late 1960's and early 1970's. These early investigations of noble-gas species in strong acid media and subsequent multi-nuclear magnetic resonance (multi-NMR) studies …
