Summary

This book presents the current understanding and applications of solid-state NMR. The rigorous, but readable approach makes it easy for someone who wishes to gain an overall impression of the subject or get into the details.The book is divided into two parts: Fundamentals and Applications. The section on Fundamentals contains chapters that deal with the basic theory and practice of solid-state NMR. The basic techniques which all chapters rely on are collected into a second chapter to avoid unnecessary repetition later. Remaining chapters in the Fundamentals part deal with the major areas of solid-state NMR. Each begins with an overview of the topic which sets the chapter in context. Each of these chapters exemplifies the principles and techniques with the applications most commonly found in current practice.The Further Applications section contains a series of shorter chapters which describe the NMR techniques used in other, more specific areas.
