This book provides a nonmathematical, descriptive approach to modern nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, using examples from organic, inorganic, and biological chemistry to help chemists decide which NMR technique will solve their particular structural or mechanistic problem. The authors offer practical advice about the acquisition and use of spectra, starting from the simple 'one pulse' sequence and moving on to consider multiple pulse and two-dimensional NMR. Spectra of readily available compounds illustrate each technique. One- and two-dimensional methods are integrated in three chapter 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.
Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques have advanced dramatically in recent years, and are now more powerful and more versatile than ever before. To exploit these techniques efficiently, the chemist must have both an understanding of their theoretical basis and the ability to interpret the spectra accurately. The new edition of this established workbook develops the latter skill to an advanced level by a combination of worked examples and set problems that cover one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques applied to organic and inorganic systems. Most of the problems are genuine research examples, and this new edition contains eight pages of problems drawn from very recent research work. This second edition is fully compatible with the second edition of Modern NMR Spectroscopy: a guide for chemists, and the two books are thoroughly cross referenced throughout.
