According to recent research from the United States, "Spinomeric chemistry is a domain of physical chemistry that explores the role of spin-isomery in chemical reactivity. In large magnetic fields (B), chemical structures with three adjacent nuclear spins (such as (H2O)-O-17, (H2S)-S-33, -NH2, and -(CH2)-C-13-) form complex spinomers."
"Known departure from a 1:1 ratio between various types of spinomers opens interesting research avenues in their potential role in asymmetric hydration processes. Recent time domain H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-(HNMR)-H-1) findings revealed the existence of small, yet consistent, (H2O)-O-17-controlled enantio-different proton ...
