Physico-Chemical Applications of Nmr: A Practical Guide

The book is intended to help under-, post-graduate students and young scientists in the correct application of NMR to the solution of physico-chemical problems, concerning mainly the studies of equilibria in solutions. The first part of the book (chapters 1-3) is a trivium, mastering which a student is expected to design and conduct simple physico-chemical NMR experiments. The following chapters give illustrative material on the physico-chemical applications of NMR of increasing complexity. These chapters include the problem of determination of equilibrium and rate constant in solutions, the studies of the paramagnetism using NMR, application of the dynamic NMR techniques and relaxation measurements. A multipurpose nonlinear regression programme is supplied (on disc for PC), which is referred to throughout the book.
