The Sleeping Giant Awakes: Defining a New Era of MRR Spectroscopy
Originally published in Technology Networks, April 2024
Authors: Justin L. Neill
Summary
Originally published in Technology Networks, this publication examines how advances in instrumentation, software, and computational chemistry have transformed molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy from a specialized academic technique into a practical analytical tool for routine molecular analysis. The discussion highlights MRR's ability to provide definitive structural identification and quantitation of compounds, including isomers, without chromatographic separation, extensive sample preparation, or reference standards.
The publication also explores how MRR is being applied in areas such as pharmaceutical discovery, impurity profiling, and reaction optimization. Looking beyond current applications, it considers how MRR may work alongside technologies such as artificial intelligence, automated workflows, and modern analytical platforms to help accelerate molecular characterization and process development across multiple industries.
