Basic One- and Two-dimensional NMR Spectroscopy

This classic textbook for all users of NMR spectroscopy shows the basics of this technique and how to interpret the spectra. Covering the material taught in graduate courses, this text provides both students and professionals with a lucid introduction, thoroughly explaining the underlying theory but with a minimum of mathematics. Written by an NMR expert with long-standing teaching experience, this thoroughly enlarged and updated fourth edition includes - polymer solid state NMR; analysis of biopolymers; and, applications of magnetic resonance tomography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. With its layout and illustrations designed for maximum clarity, this is a must for students and lecturers in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, as well as spectroscopists. From reviews of previous editions: "This book deserves much praise...The book forms an excellent bridge between the very simple texts on spectral interpreataion and more specialist works with an emphasis on mathematical theory...The many diagrams are clear and of high quality, and the examples of NMR spectra throughout the book are well chosen. This book is highly educational and will be of benefit to those who have to teach NMr and to students and scientists in academic and industrial laboratories who use NMR spectroscopy." - "NMR in Biomedicine". "This is an excellent book...we have been using the first edition of the book in our graduate course in NMR for three years and have been very pleased with it. My opinion is that someone who began knowing nothing about NMR could become quite proficient at structure determination by simply mastering the contents of this book. I highly recommend it." - "Journal of the American Chemical Society". "Almost every course in chemistry and biochemistry nowadays has some NMR component, and the student's interest depends on how the material is delivered. This book is a pleasure to read and if it does not arouse the student's interest, then it is difficult to see what could. It is clearly written and illustrated, with a near perfect balance of mathematics and text." - "Chemistry in Britain".
