Abstract
High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy is a versatile technique that provides high resolution NMR data on samples containing solutions, gels and swellable solids. In addition to providing structural information HR-MAS can also be used to investigate interfaces (for example organic structures at the solid-aqueous soil interface), processes such as swelling/ flocculation, kinetic transfer between gel/liquid phases, as well as conformation and molecular interactions in situ. As such, HRMAS has potential in a diversity of fields including organic, biological, environmental, and medical research. This manuscript focuses on the application of HR-MAS to intact natural samples. A range of 1D and 2D NMR experiments are reviewed and compared in terms of general performance on a range of samples. Therefore, this practical guide and review should be a useful reference and starting point for those wishing to apply HR-MAS NMR. While this article focuses on natural samples, common key 1D and 2D experiments are considered which may be of interest to readers with diverse research interests.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology.
