NMR - From Spectra to Structures - An Experimental Approach - Second Revised and Expanded Edition

Sep 21, 2026

Uploaded by Patrick

NMR-From Spectra to Structures - An Experimental Approach introduces nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a practical route from observed spectra to molecular structure. The book emphasizes beginner-friendly instruction and problem-solving, beginning with an overview of widely used NMR techniques and then using a structured problem section to deepen understanding. It also covers solid-state NMR, key spin-1/2 nuclei, and experimental methods across core 1D experiments, including field effects, Fourier transform-related processing, relaxation and NOE through-space interactions, and carbon-13 acquisition strategies.

We thank Prof.Janet Blümel,Texas A&M University,and the GesellschaftDeutscher Chemiker for allowing us to reproduce solid state NMR spectra.In addition we thank Klaus Jurkschat and Bernhard Lippert and their groupsfor making available samples of organometallic molecules.Thanks also go toAndrea Bokelmann and Bernhard Griewel for their valuable technical help.

However,there is now a huge variety of NMR experiments available whichcan be used in problem-solving,in addition to the standard experimentswhich are a“must”.We start by providing an overview of the most u

FAQs

What is the main goal of the book?

To present NMR spectroscopy in a practical way that helps beginners relate spectral observations to molecular structure.

How is the material organized?

An overview of useful NMR techniques is provided first, followed by a second part with problems for practice and deeper understanding.

Does the book include solid-state NMR?

Yes. It includes a brief account of solid-state NMR’s advantages and disadvantages, indicating its importance and relative accessibility.
