Product Description
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is an enormously powerful and versatile physical method for investigating the structure and dynamics of molecules. This text provides a clear, concise introduction to the physical principles of NMR, and the interactions that determine the appearance of NMR spectra. It describes and explains how nuclear spins interact with a magnetic field (the chemical shift) and with each other (spin-spin coupling); how NMR spectra are affected by chemical equilibria (exchange) and molecular motion (relaxation); and concludes with an outline of the workings of some simple one- and two-dimensional Fourier transform NMR experiments. The ways in which NMR may be used to study the structures, motions and reactions of molecules are illustrated and discussed. Only essential mathematics and theory are presented. The emphasis throughout is on understanding the basic principles. |

Non-mathematical intro to the basics by wiredweird (Earth, or somewhere nearby)  5 Stars
December 06, 2003
This is the best introduction I've seen. It's clear and intuitive, but covers all the basics: -- chemical shifts for a variety of binding structures, -- the various isotopes, -- line-splitting and spin coupling, -- equilibria in chemical and physical state, -- Overhauser effect,and lots more. In other words, it covers everything needed for more advanced analyses, but does it without dragging the reader through every wave function. Somehow, the author packs all that into fewer than 90 pages without making it all indigestibly dense.To get the book's full benefit, you'll need some background in chemistry, including a little organic, and maybe some physics. You won't need a lot of either - the first or second college course in each should be enough. The treatment uses a little algebra, but not a lot in the direct line of its arguments. The real emphasis is on the basic phenomena: on the concepts of electron shielding, on effects of different kinds of bonding, and on interactions between magnetic nuclei.This book won't make you an analytic chemist. It could help, though. The text is well-suited for a prepared novice. It's illustrated with simple and descriptive diagrams. If you need to get the basic ideas of analytic NMR, fast, this book may be the best around. Other books cover advanced topics like NMR for protein structure. Read this book first, like an introductory chapter, and you'll have a much easier time with those more complex discussions.This much information at this price is an incredible deal - it has my highest recommendation.

by Malcolm H. Levitt (Author)
Spin Dynamics: Basics of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Second Edition is a comprehensive and modern introduction which focuses on those essential principles and concepts needed for a thorough understanding of the subject, rather than the practical aspects. The quantum theory of nuclear magnets is presented within a strong physical framework, supported by figures. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of complex numbers and matrices, and provides the reader with numerous worked...

| Introduction to Organic Spectroscopy (Oxford Chemistry Primers)
by Laurence M. Harwood (Author), Timothy D. W. Claridge (Author)
This up-to-date account of key areas in modern organic spectroscopy describes the four major instrumental methods used routinely by organic chemists: ultra-violet/visible, infra-red, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. It provides a concise introduction to the physical background of each, describing how molecules interact with electromagnetic radiation or how they fragment when excited sufficiently, and how this information may be applied to the determination of...

Understanding NMR Spectroscopy
James Keeler Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, UK
This text discusses the high-resolution NMR of liquid samples and concentrates exclusively on spin-half nuclei (mainly 1H and 13C). It is aimed at people who are familiar with the use of routine NMR for structure determination and who wish to deepen their understanding of just exactly how NMR experiments work. It demonstrates that in NMR it is possible, quite...

| Stereoelectronic Effects (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 36)
by A. J. Kirby (Author)
Stereoelectronic effects control the way molecules are put together and account for the "rules of engagement" which operate when molecules meet and react. Understanding these effects is the key to understanding molecular behavior, since the same basic three-dimensional interactions are responsible for both structure and reactivity. This concise and very accessible volume provides a comprehensive, intentionally non-mathematical coverage of stereochemistry, along with an in-depth discussion of...
