NMR spectra are typically collected in solutions made up of deuterated solvents due to the fact that a protonated solvent will yield large solvent peaks which may hide the solute’s spectral features.

A liquid phase facilitates chemical reactions, something that has been known empirically for centuries. As a solvent, a liquid allows dissolved reactants to encounter each other at rates that are ...

Solvents are known to play key roles in solution-phase catalytic chemistry. For example, a good solvent can boost reaction rates by increasing the solubility and mass transfer of reagents relative to ...
