Introduction to Solid State NMR Spectroscopy is written for undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry, either taking a course in advanced or solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or undertaking research projects where solid-state NMR is likely to be a major investigative technique. It will also serve as a practical introduction in industry, where the techniques can provide new or complementary information to supplement other investigative techniques.

By covering solid-state NMR spectroscopy in a clear, straightforward and approachable way with detailed descriptions of the major solid-state NMR experiments focussing on what the experiments do and what they tell the researcher, this book will serve as an ideal introduction to the subject. These descriptions are backed up by separate mathematical explanations for those who wish to gain a more sophisticated quantitative understanding of the phenomena. With additional coverage of the practical implementation of solid-state NMR experiments integrated into the discussion, this book will be essential reading for all those using, or about to use, solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Reviews
"Overall this is an excellent book and one that I personally will find very useful. I will recommend it to my postgraduate students and prostdoctoral research fellows for its detailed and careful explanations of a wide range of experimental methods in solid-state NMR spectroscopy."

"The book is clear and straightforward...the level of detail is very impressive and the author does not shirk her duty to explain some of the most notoriously difficult concepts in this area."
Chemistry World, Vol 2, No 1, January 2005

"The theoretical approaches, the description of methods and the demonstration of the applications are clearly given in this book, which can be recommended to students and researchers in physical, analytical and organic chemistry and also biology who need access to solid-state NMR for the characterization of structures and dynamics of chemical or biological compounds."
Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, 2004, vol 42
