This practical course aims to enable the reader to understand the field of NMR experiments for structure determination. The experiments featured have been chosen mainly because of their importance and general applicability. Three compounds have been chosen as the main demonstration samples - chloroform, ethyl crotonate and strychnine (which should be used as a sealed sample). A scheme has been adopted for the detailed description of the experiments, organized in the following specific sections: "Purpose" explains the idea and goal of the experiment and refers the user to related experiments; "Literature" presents references to the original publication and to improvements and/or sections in monographs and reviews; "Pulse Scheme and Phase Cycle" gives the pulse sequence in an instrument-independent graphic and self-explanatory form, and the phase cycles of the pulses and the receiver; "Acquisition" is the main section, with instructions on the sample to be used, the spectrometer configuration, the type of programme and the parameters necessary for the performance of the experiment; "Processing" describes how to treat the time-domain data; "Results" presents the spectrum obtained by following the procedure exactly; and "Comments" contains an explanation of the most important steps of the pulse sequence. In general, the conditions for the experiments have not been optimized. In all cases, the results are presented exactly as they were obtained, without cosmetic retouching; sometimes, the samples used even show impurities.

Review:

... an essential purchase for all NMR devotees ... honest, well focused and most adequately produced ... A wealth of information is clearly expressed and provided. Post–graduate students will find it of particular value.
Analyst

.. it is a marvelous and magnificent teaching book as well for beginners as for masters having to teach NMR. We like enormousy such manner to consider the learning of a new technique and we hope that many, if not all our readers will follow this new "Champs Elys�es" or "Campus Elisearum", the pathway followed by gods in the greek mythology, but having become the daily highway of the scientists, who are, in some part, the followers of these gods, since they create all new stuff for the progress of the science.

From the Back Cover:

This work–book will guide you safely, in step–by–step descriptions, through every detail of the NMR experiments within, beginning with 1D routine experiments and ending with a series of advanced 3D experiments on a protein:

� Which experiment can best yield the desired information?
� How must the chosen experiment be performed?
� How does one read the required information from the spectrum?
� How does this particular pulse sequence work?
� Which other experiments give similar information?

This third edition of the book, following its two highly successful predecessors, has been revised and expanded to 206 experiments. They are organized in 15 chapters, covering test procedures and routine spectra, variable temperature measurements, the use of auxiliary reagents, 1D multipulse experiments, spectra of heteronuclides, and the application of selective pulses. The second and third dimensions are introduced using pulsed field gradients, and experiments on solid state materials are described. A key part describes 3D experiments on the protein ubiquitin with 76 amino acids.

What is new in this third edition?

1. 24 new experiments have been inserted into the 14 chapters that were in the 2nd edition, e.g., alpha/beta–SELINCOR–TOCSY, WET, DOSY, ct–COSY, HMSC, HSQC with adiabatic pulses, HETLOC. J–resolved HMBC, (1,1)– and (1,n)–ADEQUATE, STD, REDOR, and HR–MAS.
2. 20 new protein NMR experiments have been specially devised and are collected in the newly added Chapter 15, ProteinNMR, for which one needs a special model sample: fully 13C– and 15N–labeled human ubiquitin. Techniques used include the constant time principle, the PEP method, filters, gradient selection, and the echo/anti–echo procedure.

The guide has been written by experts in this field, following the principle of learning by doing: all the experiments have been specially performed for this book, exactly as described and shown in the spectra that are reproduced. Being a reference source and work–book for the NMR laboratory as well as a textbook, it is a must for every scientist working with NMR, as well as for students preparing for their laboratory courses
