Synopsis

Many chemists probably do not understand the full potential of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and recent advances have led to an array of new techniques and acronyms. This text provides a non-mathematical, descriptive approach to NMR spectroscopy, taking examples from organic, inorganic and biological chemistry. It contains practical advice about the acquisition and use of spectra. Starting from a simple "one pulse" sequence, the text employs a building block approach to lead naturally to multiple pulse and two-dimensional NMR. One- and two-dimensional methods are integrated in three chapters which show how to solve problems by making connections between spins through bonds, through space, or through exchange. There are also chapters on spectrum editing and solids. The final chapter contains a case history which attempts to weave the many strands of the text into a coherent strategy.;This second edition reflects the advances in NMR, and there is greater emphasis on inorganic nuclei. Some two-colour spectra are used and the treatment of heteronuclear experiments has moved from direct to "inverse" detection. Many new spectra and examples have been added, and the literature

About this title

Review

'well written and illustrated ... It has a detailed contents section and is well indexed, making it easy to use. This is a useful book to have to hand for anyone who uses, or may have a possible use for, spectra from a modern FT NMR spectrometer ... its approach to theory is pictorial, descriptive and non-mathematical.'A.C. Pratt, Irish Chemical News, Winter 1992

'I strongly recommend this book for advanced undergraduate students and for research chemists who wish to gain maximum benefit from NMR spectroscopy in their preparative work and, where they have the opportunity, to make the best possible hands-on use of the capabilities of an NMR spectrometer. The many practical hints on performing NMR experiments will enable them to achieve that.'Christian Griesinger, Institut für Organische Chemie der Universität Frankfurt am Main, Angewandte Chemie, 1994 33/19

'The lucid description of the techniques ... makes this new edition a very useful book on any chemist's bookshelf ... essential reading and reference material for the practising chemist.'Maruse Sadek and Bob Brownlee, Chemistry in Australia, March 1994

'contains much pratical advice about the acquisition and use of spectra'Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 71, Number 4, April 1994

From the Back Cover

Nuclear Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is the most powerful research tool used in chemistry today, but many chemists have yet to realize its true potential. It also contains much practical advice about the acquisition and use of spectra. There are also chapters on spectrum editing and solids. The final chapter attempts to weave the many strands of the text into a coherent strategy.
