Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to characterize the nuclear structure of iron (Iron 57) containing compounds. It is unique in its sensitivity to subtle changes in chemical environment, including changes in oxidation state, effects of different ligands, and the magnetic environment of the sample. It is based on the Mössbauer effect which describes the recoilless emission and absorption of gamma rays in strongly bound nuclei found in crystalline solids.
