NMR Spectroscopy Report Introduces Students to Modern NMR as Applied to Analysis of Organic Compounds.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c74449) has announced the addition of "NMR Spectroscopy Explained : Simplified Theory, Applications and Examples for Organic Chemistry and Structural Biology" to their offering.

"NMR Spectroscopy Explained: Simplified Theory, Applications and Examples for Organic Chemistry and Structural Biology" provides students and practitioners with an eminently readable introduction to the field of NMR Spectroscopy. Bridging the gap between the many excellent books on the practical aspects of NMR and the highly-technical theoretical books already in existence, this book allows readers to understand NMR as a tool, without having to become a specialist. The book provides a safe and intermediate level theoretical basis for understanding laboratory experiments.

Rather than presenting complex mathematical formalism at the outset, the book develops the concepts gradually, first establishing the vector model through examples and applications, then introducing the product operator formalism as a short-cut to the more complex and intimidating quantum mechanical formalism. The writing style is conversational and simple, without details that are not essential to the concepts being explained.

* Introduces students to modern NMR as applied to analysis of organic compounds.

* Presents material in a clear, conversational style that is appealing to students.

* Contains comprehensive coverage of how NMR experiments actually work.

* Combines basic ideas with practical implementation of the spectrometer.

* Provides an intermediate level theoretical basis for understanding laboratory experiments.

* Develops concepts gradually within the context of examples and useful experiments.

* Introduces the product operator formalism after introducing the simpler (but limited) vector model.
