Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) experiments are mainly performed on diamagnetic materials. However, the study of paramagnetic materials offers access to additional information in combination with the unpaired electron. This article discusses the experimental complications arising when considering paramagnetic materials such as large shift effects and large linewidths. A look at the theoretical description as well as experimental methods are shown and accompanied by techniques for signal assignment, also with the help of quantum-chemical calculations.
