Description From the initial observation of proton magnetic resonance in water and in paraffin, the discipline of nuclear magnetic resonance has seen
unparalleled growth as an analytical method. Modern NMR spectroscopy is a highly developed, yet still evolving, subject which finds application
in chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science and geology. In this book, emphasis is on the more recently developed methods
of solution-state NMR applicable to chemical research, which are chosen for their wide applicability and robustness. These have, in many
cases, already become established techniques in NMR laboratories, in both academic and industrial establishments. A considerable amount
of information and guidance is given on the implementation and execution of the techniques described in this book.
Audience
For chemists, spectroscopists and NMR laboratories.
