This book brings together the three branches of magnetic resonance spectroscopy - electron spin resonance (ESR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). It provides coherent and progressive coverage of the subject in a simple style. Each setion covers the physical basis of the spectroscopic method and its chemical applications.

The emphasis of the text is on obtaining and interpreting types of spectra often met in the laboratory that can be applied in solving problems related to the structure and behaviour of organic and inorganic molecules. Each section concludes with references to advanced literature and exercises that test understanding.

The text will benefit students at MSc, MPhil and research levels in chemistry, physics, biology and pharmacology.

Key features:

Use of Huckel and crystal field theory as tools in the interpretation of spectra.
Extended coverage of 2D NMR spectra.
Coverage of NMR of nuclei such as 13C, 19F and 31P.
Non-mathematical descriptions of experiments.
