Christian's in depth study on small molecule diffusion theory for DOSY NMR analysis is out now in Chem. Eur. J.: doi.org/10.1002/chem.... He developed a new semi-empirical model based on the molecular volume which describes diffusion of molecules and complexes with the lowest error so far. #chemsky
Accurate Molecular Size Determination by Diffusion Ordered NMR Spectroscopy Based on an Improved Diffusion Model
A semi-empirical Stokes-Einstein-based model for describing the diffusion of organic, organometallic and coordination compounds is developed for the interpretation of diffusion constants obtained by ....
