Review of NMR Spectroscopy: Basic Principles, Concepts and Applications in Chemistry

摘要

Few good textbooks on NMR spectroscopy are available at either the undergraduate or graduate levels. For those who want to go beyond elementary organic chemistry but without delving into all the mathematics, Friebolin’s1 book is probably the best among this category. Jacobsen’s,2 Keeler’s,3 and Levitt’s~4 books provide the best introductions to the physics behind NMR spectroscopy, although these books use mathematics extensively. One common feature these three books~(2?4) share is that only a few compounds are used repeatedly to illustrate the principles of various NMR techniques. In contrast, NMR Spectroscopy: Basic Principles, Concepts and Applications in Chemistry, third edition, offers a wide variety of organic examples and is written at a level between the undergraduate and graduate levels.
