Practical Nmr Relaxation For Chemists

This book demonstrates how NMR relaxation can be applied for structural diagnostics of chemical compounds, recognition of weak intermolecular interactions, determinations of internuclear distances and lengths of chemical bonds when compounds under investigation can exist only in solutions.

• Written as a textbook for chemists, demanding little background in physics and NMR
• Its practical approach helps the reader to apply the techniques in the lab
• First book to teach NMR Relaxation techniques to chemists

Bakhmutov, a professional NMR spectroscopist at Texas A&M University's Department of Chemistry, explains basics and applications of NMR relaxation in this text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students encountering the topic for the first time. Early chapters deal with the basic theory of nuclear relaxation as a physical phenomenon and are written to be accessible to readers without specialist knowledge in physics and NMR. Later chapters provide practical examples of 1D and 2D NMR relaxation experiments. The book is also of interest to professional researchers in NMR spectroscopy in synthetic, biological, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemistry. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
