This text is aimed at people who have some familiarity withhigh-resolution NMR and who wish to deepen their understanding ofhow NMR experiments actually 'work'. This revised andupdated edition takes the same approach as the highly-acclaimedfirst edition. The text concentrates on the description ofcommonly-used experiments and explains in detail the theory behindhow such experiments work. The quantum mechanical tools needed toanalyse pulse sequences are introduced set by step, but theapproach is relatively informal with the emphasis on obtaining agood understanding of how the experiments actually work. The use oftwo-colour printing and a new larger format improves thereadability of the text. In addition, a number of new topics havebeen introduced:
* How product operators can be extended to describe experimentsin AX2 and AX3 spin systems, thus making it possible to discuss theimportant APT, INEPT and DEPT experiments often used in carbon-13NMR.
* Spin system analysis i.e. how shifts and couplings can beextracted from strongly-coupled (second-order) spectra.
* How the presence of chemically equivalent spins leads tospectral features which are somewhat unusual and possiblymisleading, even at high magnetic fields.
* A discussion of chemical exchange effects has been introducedin order to help with the explanation of transverserelaxation.
* The double-quantum spectroscopy of a three-spin system is nowconsidered in more detail.
Reviews of the First Edition
"For anyone wishing to know what really goes on in theirNMR experiments, I would highly recommend this book" -Chemistry World
"...I warmly recommend for budding NMRspectroscopists, or others who wish to deepen their understandingof elementary NMR theory or theoretical tools" -Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry
