One of the major goals of studying materials and biomolecules is establishing relation between structure and functions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile and non-invasive analytical tool for probing molecular level structure and dynamics. In this project solid state proton and deuterium MAS NMR spectroscopy is utilized to get insight on features of hybrid functionalised mesoporous materials. Dynamics thus derived of the confined guest molecules or functionalized molecules are essential as they are correlated to their functions.
