More chemists use NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) than any other single spectroscopic method to understand molecular structure and motions. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is a dynamic way for scientists of all kinds to investigate the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter. Its many applications make it a versatile tool previously subject to monolithic treatment in reference-style texts. Based on a course taught for over ten years at Brandeis University, this is the first textbook on NMR spectroscopy for a one-semester course or self-instruction.
This textbook provides a solid foundation for learning NMR, and covers special
topics including solid-state NMR, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the
latest developments in the field of biomolecular structure and dynamics.
Practical examples using real spectra and associated problem sets provided at the end of each chapter help reinforce applied and theoretical concepts. Solutions to problems will be provided on the Garland Science website (garlandscience.com) to qualified instructors. Dr. Jeffry D. Madura of Duquesne University has created demos in Matchad 13® to demonstrate and explain selected concepts and equations from the text; these demos will be available on the book website.
The book covers the latest developments in the field, such as GOESY (Gradient Enhanced Overhauser Spectroscopy) and multidimensional NMR. Assuming the reader has taken courses in chemistry, physics and calculus, this textbook will be ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and biochemistry, as well as biology, physics, and biophysics. Appropriate for self-study or in-house
instruction, NMR for Physical and Biological Scientists is also a valuable
reference for anyone interested in this rapidly growing area of research and
diagnosis.
