Introduction to Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

Introduction to Solid State NMR Spectroscopy is written for undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry, studying courses in nuclear magnetic resonance or undertaking research projects in this area. It will also serve as a useful introduction in industry, where researchers are turning to solid-state techniques to solve problems that are not amenable to other investigative techniques. By covering solid-state NMR spectroscopy in a clear, straightforward and approachable way with detailed descriptions of the major solid-state NMR experiments focussing on what the experiments do and what they tell the researcher, this book will serve as an ideal introduction to the subject. These descriptions are backed up by separate mathematical explanations for those who wish to gain a more sophisticated quantitative understanding of the phenomena. With additional coverage of the practical implementation of solid-state NMR experiments integrated into the discussion, this book will be essential reading for all those using, or about to use, solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
