• Solid-state NMR provides a nuclear site specific probe of non-covalent bonds. • Applications to hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, tetrel bonds, and pnictogen bonds are discussed. • NMR parameters correlate with structural features of the non-covalent bonds. • Dynamic processes may be probed through relaxation time constant measurements. We review applications of solid-state NMR spectroscopy for the analysis of element-based non-covalent interactions, with an emphasis on developments since 2009. The review is presented in five parts: 1. General Introduction; 2. Basic Principles of Solid-State NMR; 3. Applications to Hydrogen Bonding; 4. Applications to Halogen Bonding; 5. Applications to Other Element-Based Interactions (Tetrel, Pnictogen, Chalcogen). Chemical shifts, quadrupolar couplings, dipolar couplings, and J couplings are the main NMR parameters used to study non-covalent interactions in solids. Correlations with structural features are described. The utility of relaxation time constants in probing dynamic processes is discussed. In addition to covering standard solid-state NMR studies of powdered samples, applications of nuclear quadrupole resonance NQR and single-crystal NMR are discussed. It is clear that the vast array of magnetic resonance techniques available affords numerous important insights into a wide range of non-covalent interactions in solids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
