An elegant and insightful look at NMR spectroscopy.
Prof. Freeman is known for his turn of phrase in discussing NMR spectroscopy.His handbook gives relatively short (4-9 page) discussions on a variety of topics and techniques important to the successful execution of an NMR experiment.The descriptions use physical paradigms where possible to describe important interactions but does not skimp on mathematical rigour.The clear but deft descriptions are the true mark of a master teacher and spectroscopist.The ideal receipent of this volume is a student of NMR spectroscopy wanting to learn some of the wisdom of a master. ...

Product Description
This volume, as does Volume 177, provides a general background of modern NMR techniques, with a specific focus on NMR techniques that pertain to proteins and enzymology, and a "snapshot" of the current state of the art in NMR experimental techniques. These books enable the reader to understand a given technique, to evaluate its strengths and limitations, to decide which is the best approach, and, finally, to design an experiment using the chosen technique to solve a problem. ...

Product Description
Liquid crystals have become ubiquitous in the displays for electronic devices, ranging from wrist watches to laptop computers. Nuclear magnetic resonance has become one of the important techniques for determining their structures and properties. Intended for researchers and students in physics, chemistry and materials science, this book provides the necessary background information and sufficient mathematical and physical detail to study the current research literature. The book begins with a survey of liquid crystal phases and field effects and with an introduction to the basic physics of nuclear magnetic resonance; it then discusses orientational ordering and molecular field theories for various liquid crystal molecules and NMR studies of uniaxial and biaxial phases. Subsequent chapters consider spin relaxation processes (using a semiclassical approach) and rotational, translational, and internal molecular dynamics of liquid crystals. The final chapter discusses two-dimensional and multiple-quantum NMR spectroscopies and their application in elucidating liquid crystal properties. This second edition, updated throughout, incorporates many new references, corrects typographical errors, and includes new mathematical appendices. ... Read more
