Have you ever been confronted with questions like these?

Get the answers and explore the full productivity of your NMR equipment! This book is a reliable guide through the maze of modern NMR tools. Written by leading experts, it describes more than a hundred NMR experiments including selective pulses, field gradients and the second and third dimension.

Being textbook as well as reference book for the laboratory, this book is a must for every scientist working with NMR as well as for students preparing for their lab courses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"…I find it to be one of the most useful books on my shelf...each new edition has brought substantial improvements…you will not be sorry if you acquire a copy for your personal library." (Applied Spectroscopy, May 2005)

"This third edition serves as a detailed guide to NMR, complete with 206 experiments ranging form 1-D trials to more complex 3-D experiments on proteins." (Analytical Chemistry, November 1, 2004) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

"This book is an excellent catalogue of useful NMR experiments for people who are looking for the most suitable experiment to solve a specific problem.
It collects in one place all the currently pulse sequences from liquid NMR spectroscopy, discusses their relative merits, the time required to perform them and gives experimental examples measured by the authors for this book. ... In conclusion, I think this book is a great encyclopedia of the techniques of modern liquid state NMR spectroscopy. It is highly readabele and should be on the shelf of any serious NMR spectroscopist, who does more complicated experiments than routine H-NMR spectroscopy. Finally instrument vendors should consider packing at least one copy of this book with every new NMR machine and using it as an educational toot when installing the machine."
--Dr. Gerd Buntkowsky, FSU Jena, Zeitschrift für physikalische Chemie, Band 218, Heft 11 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: 150 and More Basic NMR Experiments: A Practical Course (Paperback)

NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for chemists interested in structure, dynamics and function of molecular systems. The success of this technique has lead to a proliferation of experiments yielding a wealth of data about chemical structure ranging from small molecules to not-so-small proteins and beyond. The authors have compiled a core of NMR experiments that will serve a student new to the field or an old-hand who has forgotten the phase-cycle of a particular pulse sequence. The book is sectioned into 14 chapters with the 1st two being introductory ( What is a NMR spectrometer and why is it sitting away from everything else? or If I have radiation dampening do I need to get a mop?). The next 10 chapters take the reader from routine spectroscopy experiments to a variety of 1- and 2- dimensional liquid NMR experiments with and without magnetic field gradients. The last two chapters introduce the reader to some basic 3-dimensional liquid sequences and solids NMR spectroscopy. These two subjects could have been extended but I imagine we will see that in the next volume, 150 to 300 NMR experiments. There are 160 (according to my count) different experiments and measurements discussed and each is organized to familarize the experimenter with the purpose of the experiment, the procedure to perform it, and some expected results for the experiment. The authors have wisely included a readers observation area for each section. This allows the utility of the book to grow as the reader gains experience with each NMR method. This book should be in any NMR laboratory and would be an added help to any course using NMR spectroscopy. I know any undergraduate organic chemistry course should get an attendance boost from experiment 8.15 where the students would determine the alcohol content in polish vodka. (As a student I would have suggested a more hands on approach.) The final upshot is this is an great compendium and should be a staple in any NMR laboratory period.

This review is from: 100 and More Basic NMR Experiments: A Practical Course (Paperback)

100 and more basic NMR experiments is an essential book for anyone working in an NMR lab, who occasionally has to do more than a repetitive basic 1D protocol. Braun et. al. cover everything from a brief introduction to a spectrometer, to calibrations and standard tests, right through homo and heteronuclear 1,2, and 3 dimentional nmr.

Each experiment is set out with a schematic of the pulse program, phase cycling,and processing parameters, as well as literature citations and practical examples. It is particularily useful for users of Bruker spectrometers, as a lot of the nomenclature is identical to those of the Bruker instruments.

People who have never done a heteronuclear 2D experiment could get an acceptable spectrum with very little other lterature.
