Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and versatile techniques now available for the study of molecular structure and reaction mechanisms. Written by recognised experts in the field, this classic account of modern NMR spectroscopy was heralded on its first publication in 1987 as "the lasting text of its age" Nature. Now available in paperback, it provides a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. It describes the study of solutions and solids using one- and two-dimensional spectroscpy, providing both a solid theoretical foundation and a description of practical procedures. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigorous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout. This important work was written at the ETH in Zurich, one of the world's leading institutions in advanced NMR methods, which has played a key role in the development of Fourier spectroscopy, two-dimensional spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform NMR imaging. Available in paperback for the first time, the book provides the definitive account of the field, and is without question "a must.....for every self-respecting NMR spectroscopist" Journal of Magnetic Resonance.
Reviews
From reviews of the hardback edition: 'Undoubtedly to be regarded as the standard work on modern NMR spectroscopy, presenting the basic theory which underlies the newer pulse experiments used in structure elucideation. It will be indispensable for all scientists who wish to learn "at first hand" about these advanced techniques, and no departmental library should be without it.' Angewandte Chemie 'It is an up-to-date text which can be recommended to student and experienced researcher alike and should prove to be an indispensable reference source.' Physics in Medicine and Biology
'Presents a uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date treatment...The authors provide a unified review of the entire field, covering basic principles and techniques for the study of solutions and solids, with emphasis placed on methods of one-and two-dimensional spectroscopy.' SciTech Books News
`a triumph of careful and clear exposition......scholarly and readable....This will be the lasting text of its age' Nature
'The book reads like a rich novel...[it] belongs in every chemistry library and on the bookshelf (or desktop!) of every NMR spectroscopist. The release of a paperback edition makes the book more affordable and available, and should be celebrated.' Trends in Analytical Chemistry
`The authors have succeeded admirably in writing a rigorous treatment of modern Fourier transform NMR which will certainly stand the test of time, remaining a valuable reference volume probably into the next century.' Journal of Natural Products
'What could be a better recommendation for a text - written by authors who have been contributing a lot to the field they are writing about? The book is written in a precise, sophisticated and vivid language'. Journal of Molecular Structure
` a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigorous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout.' Physics Briefs
`The text is well referenced, and the authors have adopted the very sensible practice of referencing by chapter. The book is a benchmark for the rigorous treatment of NMR techniques. A bargain for any library and for any serious protagonist of NMR spectroscopy. The Analyst
