NMR spectroscopy: basic principles, concepts, and applications in chemistry

This third edition of the popular classic retains the clear style and excellent didactical, highly practical approach. It explains this complex topic without mathematical equations, making it ideal for those students who do not have a strong mathematical background, but want to understand the fundamentals of NMR and work with the method in an efficient and accurate way. The contents have been completely revised and updated with approximately 25% new material, including new chapters on biological NMR and on other nuclei, outdated methods are replaced by current ones, and new developments have been added. Many examples are taken from organic chemistry, making this an equally invaluable guide to undergraduate and graduate students from such related fields as biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and materials science. Contains problems complete with solutions.
