Synopsis

NMR Spectroscopy of the Non-Metallic Elements Stefan Berger Philipps-Universit?t, Marburg, Germany Siegmar Braun Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany Hans-Otto Kalinowski Justus-Liebig-Universit?t, Gie?en, Germany In recent years, the technique of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy has rapidly gained in importance outside its traditional areas of proton NMR and carbon-13 NMR. In particular, it has become much more applicable to compounds containing elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen and fluorine. NMR Spectroscopy of the Non-Metallic Elements gathers together a wealth of NMR data for the most important non-metallic elements, namely nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus, sulphur and xenon. For each element, the data for the simpler compounds and their derivatives (both organic and inorganic) are gathered together in as complete a form as possible, and the regularities that emerge are discussed in detail in relation to structural variations. This allows the reader to interpret the structure of more complex structures. The chapters containing the NMR data for the elements are preceded by a practical introduction to the basic theory and experimental techniques of the NMR parameters, especially the chemical shift and indirect spin-spin coupling. This material will help the reader both in finding practical solutions to problems of structure determination, and in critically evaluating the spectra obtained. NMR Spectroscopy of the Non-Metallic Elements is an invaluable reference source for all laboratories where NMR is used. It will also be widely used by organic and inorganic chemists, especially those working on nitrogen, fluorine and phosphorus compounds.

About this title

About the Author:

Stefan Berger was intrigued by NMR after having won a bottle of beer during an introductory course in organic NMR led by Professor H. Suhr at the University of T bingen in 1968. After completing a PhD thesis with Professor Anton Rieker, in 1973 he joined Professor J. D. Roberts at Caltech for postdoctoral work, where he also met Professor D.M. Grant and Professor D. Seebach, who were then guest professors in Pasadena. This period was decisive to try a Habilitation in NMR spectroscopy, which was achieved at the University Marburg. At the University Leipzig his aim is to combine methodological development of NMR and its application to bioorganic problems.
