What Does CSA Stand For?

CSA stands for Chemical Shift Anisotropy

Chemical Shift Anisotropy (CSA) refers to the phenomenon in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy where the resonance frequency of a nucleus differs based on its local chemical environment and orientation relative to the applied magnetic field. This anisotropy results from the varying electronic environments around nuclei, which can lead to distinct shifts in chemical signals. CSA provides valuable information about molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions, making it an essential tool in material science, chemistry, and biochemistry research.
