This is (a commercial!) to inform the NMR community on a new book
written by Siegmar Braun, Hans-Otto Kalinowski and me, entitled "100
and More Basic NMR Experiments - A Practical Course" which just
appeared by VCH publishers Weinheim/New York/Tokyo, ISBN 3-527-29091-
5, DM 68.-, 418 pages.
It is the aim of the book presented here to give a compass, a kind of
Ariadnes thread, to enable the reader to chart a straightforward path
through the field of NMR experiments for structure determination. It
is a practical course from which the user can learn by doing.
An introductory chapter on the FT NMR spectrometer and on practical
aspects such as probe-head tuning, lock operation, and shimming, is
followed by a series of more than a hundred different experiments,
mostly on 1H and 13C, arranged in chapters according to common
features, each with a short survey at the beginning. The content
ranges from pulse length determinations, routine spectra and test
procedures through decoupling techniques, variable temperature
and LIS measurements, to 1D multipulse sequences and the observation
of heteronuclides such as 6Li, 15N and 17O. More demanding
experiments include those using selective pulses, introducing the
second and third dimensions, and/or using field gradients for
coherence selection.
A standard scheme has been adopted for the detailed description of
the experiments, organized in the following specific sections:
"Purpose" explains the idea and goal of an experiment and refers the
user to related experiments.
"Literature" presents references to the original publication and to
improvements and/or sections in monographs and reviews.
"Pulse Scheme and Phase Cycle" gives the pulse sequence in an
instrument-independent graphic and self-explanatory form, and the
phase cycles of the pulses and the receiver.
"Acquisition" is the main section with instructions on the sample to
be used, the spectrometer configuration, the type of program, and
finally the parameters necessary for the performance of the
experiment. "Processing" describes how to treat the time-domain data.
"Results" presents the spectrum obtained by following the procedure
exactly, as well as some remarks concerning the interpretation.
"Comments" contains an explanation of the most important steps of the
pulse sequence, sometimes with a description using the product
operator formalism for which elementary rules are collected in the
Appendix. "Own Observations" provides space for personal notes.
