Combines the personal life story of Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard R.
Ernst with the historical development of his invention, which led
to the universally known MRI imaging process in the field of
medicine Explains in an unusually open-hearted way the human side
of research from its innermost circle, captivating both a general
audience and those interested in science Explains the basics of MRI
technology in comprehensible, yet lively language Focuses on an
ethical approach to science and research for the benefit of society
as a whole
Clearly structured, easy to read and optimal to understand, this
extensive compendium fills the gap between textbooks devoted to
either spectra interpretation or basic physical principles. The
original Chinese editions have already sold over 18,500 copies, and
the material is taken from the latest literature from around the
world, plus technical information provided by the manufacturers of
spectroscopic instruments.
Alongside basic methods, Professor Ning presents up-to-date
developments in NMR, MS, IR and Raman spectroscopy, such as
pulsed-field gradient technique, LC-NMR, and DOSY. He stresses the
application of spectroscopic methods, interpreting them in great
detail and depth since most of the selected spectra may be applied
to practical work, as well as summarizing the rules for their
interpretation. He also incorporates his original ideas, including
a comparison of the common points in different spectroscopic
techniques.
This monograph features a unique structure, a typical example being
the discussion of 2D NMR starting from pulse sequence units, which
construct various pulse sequences for related 2D NMR. A complete
chapter deals with the determination of configurations and
conformations of organic compounds and even biological molecules
from the viewpoint of spectroscopic methodologies, while one whole
section is dedicated to the interpretation of mass spectra produced
by soft ionization techniques.
The principles of mass analyzers, especially the ion trap, are
discussed in great depth, together with a concise summary of the MS
fragmentation and rearrangement of common compounds, allowing
readers to easily predict related mass spectrometric reactions. All
the three kinds of library retrieval of mass spectra are presented
in detail, together with recent developments in molecular vibration
spectroscopy. The whole is rounded off with several appendices,
including a subject index for rapid reference.
With a foreword by the Nobel prizewinner, Richard R. Ernst.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and versatile techniques now available for the study of molecular structure and reaction mechanisms. This classic account of modern NMR spctroscopy was heralded on its publication in 1987 as `the lasting text of its age' Nature. Now available in paperback, it provides a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigourous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout. It is, without question, an essential purchase for the self-respecting NMR spectroscopist.
