Synopsis

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is an enormously powerful and versatile physical method for investigating the structure and dynamics of molecules. This text provides a clear, concise introduction to the physical principles of N.M.R., and the interactions that determine the appearance of N.M.R. spectra. It describes and explains how nuclear spins interact with a magnetic field (the chemical shift) and with each other (spin-spin coupling); how N.M.R. spectra are affected by chemical equilibria (exchange) and molecular motion (relaxation); and concludes with an outline of the workings of some simple one- and two-dimensional Fourier transform N.M.R. experiments. The ways in which N.M.R. may be used to study the structures, motions and reactions of molecules are illustrated and discussed. Only essential mathematics and theory are presented. The emphasis throughout is on understanding the basic principles.

About this title

Review:

the author has produced a very readable book ... The author has evidently gone to great trouble to select interesting spectra, and the text is greatly enriched by his efforts. (Michael Edenboroughon, Chemistry in Britain)

The author has succeeded in compressing into a small space clear explanations leading the reader from the level of elementary principles up to reasonably advanced methods and applications ... the organization is excellent and the material is clearly presented ... I can recommend the book highly to its intended audience. (W.S.B., Journal of Magnetic Resonance, Series A 121 (1996))

a very readable book. The 12 pages on chemical exchange contain many interesting and instructive examples. ... The author has evidently gone to great trouble to select interesting spectra, and the text is greatly enriched by his efforts. (Michael Edenboroughon, Chemistry in Britain)
