Synopsis

In the course of the last two decades, nuclear magnetic resonance has undergone a profound renaissance. Slow-passage spectroscopy techniques have largely become obsolete, and more versatile pulse techniques have begun to dominate the NMR scene. The rediscovery of the time domain has revived interest and stimulated creativity for new methodological developments. A surprising diversity of novel techniques and ingenious tricks have been invented which have radically changed the scope of NMR spectroscopy. This book provides a unified view of modern NMR spectroscopy, covering basic principles and techniques for the study of solutions and solids. The emphasis is on methods of one- and two-dimensional spectroscopy, and the material is presented in a mathematical framework with a large number of illustrations. The authors are from the ETH Zurich - one of the world's leading institutions in advanced NMR methods. This laboratory has played a key role in the development of Fourier spectroscopy, two-dimensional spectroscopy, and Fourier transform NMR imaging.

About this title

Review

From reviews of the hardback edition: 'Undoubtedly to be regarded as the standard work on modern NMR spectroscopy, presenting the basic theory which underlies the newer pulse experiments used in structure elucideation. It will be indispensable for all scientists who wish to learn "at first hand" about these advanced techniques, and no departmental library should be without it.' Angewandte Chemie 'It is an up-to-date text which can be recommended to student and experienced researcher alike and should prove to be an indispensable reference source.' Physics in Medicine and Biology

'Presents a uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date treatment...The authors provide a unified review of the entire field, covering basic principles and techniques for the study of solutions and solids, with emphasis placed on methods of one-and two-dimensional spectroscopy.' SciTech Books News

`a triumph of careful and clear exposition......scholarly and readable....This will be the lasting text of its age' Nature

'The book reads like a rich novel...[it] belongs in every chemistry library and on the bookshelf (or desktop!) of every NMR spectroscopist. The release of a paperback edition makes the book more affordable and available, and should be celebrated.' Trends in Analytical Chemistry

`The authors have succeeded admirably in writing a rigorous treatment of modern Fourier transform NMR which will certainly stand the test of time, remaining a valuable reference volume probably into the next century.' Journal of Natural Products

'What could be a better recommendation for a text - written by authors who have been contributing a lot to the field they are writing about? The book is written in a precise, sophisticated and vivid language'. Journal of Molecular Structure

` a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigorous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout.'Physics Briefs

`The text is well referenced, and the authors have adopted the very sensible practice of referencing by chapter. The book is a benchmark for the rigorous treatment of NMR techniques. A bargain for any library and for any serious protagonist of NMR spectroscopy.The Analyst
