Infos

This text is aimed at people who have some familiarity with
high-resolution NMR and who wish to deepen their understanding of
how NMR experiments actually 'work'. This revised and
updated edition takes the same approach as the highly-acclaimed
first edition. The text concentrates on the description of
commonly-used experiments and explains in detail the theory behind
how such experiments work. The quantum mechanical tools needed to
analyse pulse sequences are introduced set by step, but the
approach is relatively informal with the emphasis on obtaining a
good understanding of how the experiments actually work. The use of
two-colour printing and a new larger format improves the
readability of the text. In addition, a number of new topics have
been introduced:

* How product operators can be extended to describe experiments
in AX2 and AX3 spin systems, thus making it possible to discuss the
important APT, INEPT and DEPT experiments often used in carbon-13
NMR.

* Spin system analysis i.e. how shifts and couplings can be
extracted from strongly-coupled (second-order) spectra.

* How the presence of chemically equivalent spins leads to
spectral features which are somewhat unusual and possibly
misleading, even at high magnetic fields.

* A discussion of chemical exchange effects has been introduced
in order to help with the explanation of transverse
relaxation.

* The double-quantum spectroscopy of a three-spin system is now
considered in more detail.

Reviews of the First Edition

"For anyone wishing to know what really goes on in their
NMR experiments, I would highly recommend this book" -
Chemistry World

"...I warmly recommend for budding NMR
spectroscopists, or others who wish to deepen their understanding
of elementary NMR theory or theoretical tools" -
Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry
