Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ESR, NMR, NQR, 3ed

D.N. Sathyanarayana

ISBN: 9788194778769

Description

This book brings together the three branches of magnetic resonance spectroscopy namely, electron spin resonance (ESR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and presents a coherent and progressive coverage of the subject in a simple and lucid style. Each part covers the physical basis of a spectroscopic method and its chemical applications. The emphasis is on obtaining and interpreting some types of spectra often met in solving problems related to structure and behaviour of organic and inorganic molecules. Each part concludes with references to advanced literature and exercises that test the readers' understanding. This text may be used for self-study.
