Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is based on the fact that certain nuclei exhibit a magnetic moment, oriented by a magnetic field, and absorb characteristic frequencies in the radiofrequency part of the spectrum. The spectral lines of the nuclei are highly influenced by the chemical environment, i.e. the structure and interaction of the molecules. NMR is now the leading technique and a powerful tool for the investigation of the structure and interaction of molecules. The present Landolt-Börnstein volume III/35 "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Data" is therefore of major interest to all scientists and engineers who intend to use NMR to study the structure and the binding of molecules. Volume III/35 ''NMR-Data'' is divided into several subvolumes and parts. Subvolume III/35A contains the nuclei B-11 and P-31, subvolume III/35B contains the nuclei F-19 and N-15, subvolume III/35C contains the nucleus H-1, subvolume III/35D contains the nucleus C-13, subvolume III/35E contains the nucleus O-17, subvolume III/35F contains the nucleus Si-29, and subvolume III/35G contains the nucleus Se-77. More nuclei will be presented later.

I picked up a copy at my local used book store at a discount. It was only [...]so I feel like it was a HUGE bargain. What value! First let me say that the book does start off a little slow but once you get into the third chapter, "Silicon Molecules: We Hardly Knew Ye'", you just can't put this book down. It isn't without it's moments though. The contrast between antagonist and protagonist is just simply fantastic. I highly suggest reading this book by flashlight under the covers or in a homemade fort/tent in your bedroom. A+ and Highly recommended!

I'm a big fan of the NMR genre, but this book was really just phoned in. I mean, "Chemical Shifts of P-31 Compounds" had me on the edge of my seat, and "Hyperfine Coupling Constants of the Pnictogens" had a little something for everybody. I can say this with the conviction that only comes with love when I say that "Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-29" is total crap.
It appeals to the lowest common denominator for cheap thrills when it should be striving to elevate the level of discourse. I mean, did we really need to slog through an entire chapter where Dr. Gupta describes, in agonizing detail, the time he took the spectra of two samples at the same time? He's probably the kind of guy who'll put his sample into a dirty NMR tube his friend just used, too. I actually went to the bathroom and washed my hands after putting this book down; I probably have hepatitis now.
I've come to expect much more from Landolt-Bornstein, and sincerely hope Si-29 was a fluke and not a portent of future editions. Is it too much to ask for another volume of the same quality as "Hydrogen - Old, But Still Knows How to Rock".

It was great while it was working. I had gotten up to chapter 3, the aforementioned 'hardly knew ye' chapter, when suddenly the pages went blank. I tried closing it and re-opening it and nothing. I let it sit for about an hour and when I re-opened it it briefly worked - I could see the letters, but they made no sense - and then went blank again. I called tech support and they said they'd never seen this and maybe I had the book upside down or something. I assured them I'd read plenty of books and knew which way was up. They had me close thebook, open it, flip through the pages... but nothing helped. Finally they agreed to let me return it for a replacement. I had asked for a refund, but they said "you know too much already" and said a replacement would require wiping a portion of my brain. I was not about to agree to that. We'll see how the replacement works...
