Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), one of the most powerful spectroscopic methods in many disciplines, has been introduced as a research tool into our institute already in 1964 by H.G. Hertz.
In the following 25 years a great number of pioneering experimental and theoretical NMR studies have been performed by H.G. Hertz and his group . Since 1970 M. Holz was a member of this group. One of the main research aims was the development and application of NMR techniques for the study of the chemical physics of liquid systems and, in particular, of electrolyte solutions.
From 1990 - 2001 this NMR group has been led by Dr Manfred Holz, who retired in 2001.

Fields of Research:

• Hydrophobic effects --- Self-diffusion in molecular liquids

NMR experiments in presence of an external electric field, and thus in presence of an electric current in the conducting sample under investigation,  allow to use the advantages of this highly selective and non-invasive spectroscopic technique with a great variety of methods, in the field of electrochemistry with all its applications. Therefore, since the early 1980's, it was the aim of research to develop methodically and technically those experiments. Already, in 1982  the first electrophoretic mobility measurements by NMR were made, opening the perspective of a completely new type of measurements in electrochemistry.
The combination of NMR and in-situ electrophoresis, today called "Electrophoretic NMR" (ENMR), introduces the electric charge (electric current) as a new parameter in NMR and allows for example the detection and the measurement of mobilities and transference numbers of charged species in complex mixtures, which are not accessible to classical methods. In the years 1998-2006 cou these measurements could be extended  to porous systems, allowing for the first time the direct observation of the migration of ions in an electric field within pores .

The group around M.Holz was interested in the translational dynamics of neat liquids, confined liquids and all kind of solutes (ions, noble gases  and molecular species) in those systems. Furthermore, in pure liquids the "dynamic isotope effect", i.e. the influence of mass change on the translational and rotational mobility of molecules in liquids has been systematically investigated. The pulsed-field –gradient (PFG) NMR self-diffusion and flow studies coüld be used to gain information about the morphology of porous media ("Dynamic Imaging"). The research group applied these techniques to systems of technical interest, e.g. fluid-filled granular materials, gels and natural rocks, with the aim to introduce novel NMR methods into engineering sciences.  

"Hydrophobic effects" as hydrophobic association play an important role in supramolecular chemistry, in biochemistry and in molecular recognition in aqueous systems. By using the intermolecular nuclear dipole - dipole  interaction via NMR relaxation and PFG self-diffusion measurements the so-called  association parameter A could be measured. This A-parameter is connected with an integral over the corresponding atom - atom pair correlation function g(r) of the nuclei carrying atoms . Association or de-association of certain species in fluid mixtures can thus be observed by a sharpening or flattening of g(r). So, H.G.Hertz and M.Holz and his groups studied for example  the influence of salts or other solutes on the association tendency of organic species in aqueous systems  with the aim to contribute e.g. to the under-standing of the so-called "lyotropic" or "Hofmeister series"

In fluid systems the quadrupole relaxation of nuclides with spin >1/2 residing in  monatomic particles has been experimentally studied. These species were for example: ⁷Li⁺, ²³Na⁺, ²⁵Mg²⁺, ³⁵Cl^-, ⁸¹Br^-, ⁸⁷Rb⁺, ¹³³Cs⁺, ²¹Ne,  ⁸³Kr and ¹³¹Xe. The ionic nuclei could then be used to probe their closest vicinity in an electrolyte solution yielding information about the structure of the first coordination sphere and possible ion pair formation . The noble gas nuclides are of particular interest as inert probes on an atomic level which can be utilized in fluids for the investigation of local structures. Thus we could recently contribute to the understanding of peculiar anomalies of supercooled water and water in hydrophobic hydration spheres.
