摘要

“Solid-State NMR in Zeolite Catalysis” was written by four professors from the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, who have tremendous expertise in the fields of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (solid-state NMR) and heterogeneous catalysis. This book is Volume 103 in the series ‘Lecture Notes in Chemistry’ published by Springer. It can be organised into three sections: (a) principles of NMR theory (Chapter 1); (b) solid-state NMR studies of zeolites and related materials (Chapters 2 and 3); and (c) surface chemistry and reaction chemistry over zeolites (Chapters 4–6). Each chapter offers a sufficient introduction to move smoothly into the main content. The book guides readers to familiarise themselves with solid‐state NMR and gives sufficient practical examples, detail and illustration. However, visually supported explanations by the authors were included only after Chapter 1. Adding to this could help deepen the understanding of pre-graduate readers. A few abbreviations were not explained, which could confuse readers. Advantages and disadvantages of solid-state NMR for each purpose are addressed in comparison with other techniques in each chapter. The discussion in this book further applies to materials for heterogeneous catalysts, glasses, ceramics, superconductors, lithium-ion batteries and biological systems.
