Pulse And Fourier Transform Nmr

Pulse and Fourier Transform NMR: Introduction to Theory and Methods presents the different types of pulse experiments that are commonly used and provides the theoretical background necessary for understanding these techniques. This book evaluates the practical application of pulse methods and the necessary instrumentation. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the NMR fundamentals and the basic pulse methods. This text then summarizes the important features of pulse spectrometers. Other chapters consider the rationale, the advantages, and the limitations of Fourier transform NMR methods. This book discusses as well how the idea of the rotating frame can be utilized to understand certain experiments that extend the range of application of pulse methods. The final chapter deals with a few significant special uses of pulse techniques. This book is a valuable resource for chemists and readers who are familiar with high resolution NMR but with no background in pulse methods.

Now reprinted and available in paperback, this book is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of NMR spectroscopy in its many forms. It presents the whole range of Fourier Transform NMR techniques, including 2D NMR and NMR imaging. The first three chapters cover the basic physics of magnetic resonance and the mathematical background to Fourier techniques. The following chapters concentrate on pulsed NMR spectroscopy, including the new multipulse sequences, from a theoretical and practical approach. The final chapters deal with the important topic of nuclear relaxation and the novel technique of 2D NMR. The principles of NMR imaging are discussed in detail including medical applications. Containing a wealth of information on techniques and methods, the book provides the reader with a sound base from which to apply Fourier NMR techniques to the many areas of science where they are proving of most value. It is a must for undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry and physics, medical students involved in imaging and radiology, NMR spectrometer and NMR imaging manufacturers, and NMR research scientists.

Providing a definitive reference source on novel methods in NMR acquisition and processing, this book will highlight similarities and differences between emerging approaches and focus on identifying which methods are best suited for different applications. The highly qualified editors have conducted extensive research into the fundamentals of fast methods of data acquisition in NMR, including applications of non-Fourier methods of spectrum analysis. With contributions from additional distinguished experts in allied fields, clear explanations are provided on methods that speed up NMR experiments using different ways to manipulate the nuclei in the sample, modern methods for estimating the spectrum from the time domain response recorded during an NMR experiment, and finally how the data is sampled. Starting with a historical overview of Fourier Transformation and its role in modern NMR spectroscopy, this volume will clarify and demystify this important emerging field for spectroscopists and analytical chemists in industry and academia.

This book is about pulse nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), with its techniques, the information to be obtained, and practical advice on performing experiments. The emphasis is on the motivation and physical ideas underlying NMR experiments and the actual techniques, including the hardware used. The level is generally suitable for those to whom pulse NMR is a new technique, be they students in chemistry or physics on the one hand and research workers in biology, geology, or agriculture, on the other. The book can be used for a senior or first year graduate course where it could supplement the standard NMR texts.

The primary purpose of this book is to help you understand what is going on in Fourier Transform (FT) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Modern life is now very largely life with 'black boxes' that carry warning labels: 'No user-serviceable parts inside.' Many find black boxes to be quite acceptable, at least as long as they work. But how willing should we be to accept black-box analyses without some understanding of how those analyses were obtained? NMR spectrometers are like 'black boxes' in that they offer many standardised procedures, but it can be dangerous to the quality of your data if you rely slavishly on such procedures without understanding how and why the proper parameter choices are critical. The scope of this book is broad rather than deep with the intention of providing helpful insight. Much can be understood in a more qualitative way and that is the approach taken here. For those few areas where a quantitative approach is needed, simple mathematics will usually suffice.

This volume enables the newcomer to become familiar with the basic data acquisition procedures, modular pulse sequence units and complete sequences in NMR spectroscopy.

The key to correct structure analysis. This volume of the successful "Spectroscopic Techniques" series familiarizes newcomers with the basic data acquisition procedures, modular pulse sequence units and complete sequences in NMR spectroscopy. It applies the numerous possibilities of Bruker's simulation program NMR-SIM to provide a guided introduction to the world of pulse sequences. The effectiveness of particular NMR experiments is demonstrated by the section "Check Its" and that of data processing by the accompanying CD-ROM with the Bruker processing software 1D and 2D WIN-NMR. This interactive approach to simulate spectra based on a reduced spin system and the processing of the accomplished NMR raw data is closely related to everyday work at the spectrometer. In this way, the author encourages beginners to use high resolution NMR, and also experts on NMR spectroscopy to evaluate new experiments using the easy-manageable simulation program.
