Understanding NMR Spectroscopy – Wiley-VCH

This text is aimed at people who have some familiarity with high-resolution NMR and who wish to deepen their understanding of how NMR experiments actually ‘work’.This revised and updated edition takes the same approach as the highly-acclaimed first edition.The text concentrates on the description of commonly-used experiments and explains in detail the theory behind how such experiments work.The quantum mechanical tools needed to analyse pulse sequences are introduced set by step, but the approach is relatively informal with the emphasis on obtaining a good understanding of how the experiments actually work.The use of two-colour printing and a new larger format improves the readability of the text.In addition, a number of new topics have been introduced: How product operators can be extended to describe experiments in AX2 and AX3 spin systems, thus making it possible to discuss the important APT, INEPT and DEPT experiments often used in carbon-13 NMR.
