Royal Society of Chemistry Spectroscopy, Theory and Mechanism in
Book SynopsisThe aim of this title is to document the meeting exploring the key challenges in understanding the biological chemistry of metals. State of the art work using advanced physical and computational methods to probe the electronic structure and the reactivity at the active sites of metalloenzymes is discussed. These investigations are truly interdisciplinary and the development and application of physical methods and computational chemistry to biological problems require spectroscopists and theoretical chemists to collaborate with each other and with a wide range of other scientists, notably biochemists and coordination chemists. This is particularity true as spectroscopy and theory typically prove insight into slightly different aspects of reactivity. The book will provide substantial benefits to both experimentalists and theoreticians working in this filed.

Royal Society of Chemistry Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry
Book SynopsisIsotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) has become an essential tool in research laboratories and is increasingly used in routine analysis labs (including environmental, food safety and clinical applications). This is the first textbook to present a comprehensive and instructive view of the theory and applications of this growing technique. The main objective of this book is to cover the theory and applications of Isotope Dilution in Analytical Chemistry. The scope is comprehensive to include elemental analysis, speciation analysis, organic analysis and biochemical and clinical analysis together with applications in metabolism studies and traceability of goods. Until now there have been no books published with the same general scope (only book chapters on particular applications). This is a textbook focused at post-graduate level covering the basic knowledge required for doctoral studies in this field. Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry will also outline practical applications of interest for routine testing laboratories where isotope dilution procedures are implemented or can be implemented in the future. This unique book covers all the theoretical and practical aspects of Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS). Due to the increasing application of IDMS in many research laboratories and the increasing implementation of IDMS methodologies in routine testing laboratories, scientists in industry and working in or affiliated to this area will this an invaluable source of information. Concerning the theoretical aspects, the authors present a uniform theoretical background which grows from previous developments in Organic, Speciation and Elemental analysis both in their own laboratory and in other laboratories around the world. This general approach will be simpler and will also include new emerging fields such as quantitative proteomics and metabolism studies.Trade ReviewThis book gives plenty of advice to both pure and applied chemists. This book provides helpful information on rarely considered aspects of isotope dilution. This book is the biggest vol- ume on isotope dilution mass spectrometry to date, and sci- entists of all abilities, whether beginners or experts, will be able to draw from this work. -- Juris Meija * Anal Bioanal Chem DOI 10.1007/s00216-014-7662-6 *Book’s topic Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) has become a staple of analytical chemistry. One reason for this is that IDMS enables quantitation of an analyte without too much regard for incomplete extraction or digestion. Unlike the popular, related method of standard addition, which usually relies on extensive analytical response (peak area or signal intensity), isotope dilution uses intensive response: the isotope amount ratio. Although the principle behind isotope dilution is simple and can be explained using the analogy of catch-andrelease fish counting in a pond, the technical and theoretical details of implementing isotope dilution become complex rather quickly. Consequently, isotope dilution is not a onesize- fits-all panacea in analytical chemistry. This book tries to present many of the details that are important for accurate performance of isotope dilution. Contents This book consists of ten chapters. The introductory chapter provides an overview of isotope dilution mass spectrometry, including a brief historical outline of the method. The second chapter is devoted to the basic equations of IDMS, including double IDMS and exact-matching double IDMS. This chapter also provides the equations that extend the isotope dilution to more than two isotopes (that is, one isotope ratio). Chapter 3 discusses online IDMS, which allows isotope-dilution-based quantitation of multiple analytes containing the element of interest as they elute from the chromatographic column. This is a popular method in elemental speciation because it requires only one isotopic standard of an element, rather than one isotopic standard for each substance. Chapter 4 covers the topic on which the authors are recognized experts: the use of multiple isotopically labelled substances for quantitation of dynamic systems. This is the application for which isotope dilution offers the most substantial advantages over traditional methods. A popular example of this approach is the quantitation of Cr(VI) in the presence of Cr(III). It is possible for some of the Cr(III) to convert into Cr(VI) during sample preparation, and, to ascertain the amount of Cr(III) that was not originally present in the sample, one can add isotopic spikes of both Cr(III) and Cr(VI), each enriched in a different isotope of chromium. Chapter 5 deals with the natural isotopic composition of elements and how to use it to calculate the natural isotopic composition of complex substances, and chapter 6 provides guidance on selecting the isotopic spike. Chapters 7 and 8 provide technical discourse on the measurement of isotope ratios in elemental or molecular mass spectrometry. Chapter 9 discusses the traceability of IDMS results, emphasising the function of purity estimations of natural standards. Lastly, chapter 10 provides guidance on the uncertainty evaluation of IDMS results. This chapter discusses different sources of uncertainty, offers guidance on how to minimize these, and provides mathematical tools for combining all individual uncertainty components to estimate the uncertainty of the final result. Comparison with the existing literature Isotope dilution mass spectrometry features as a chapter in virtually all modern analytical chemistry textbooks. However, it is rare to find an entire book devoted to this subject. The closest alternative to this book is the small paperback Guidelines for Achieving High Accuracy in Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry by Sargent, Harrington, and Harte, published in 2002 by the Royal Society of Chemistry. However, the scope of this book is much more exhaustive, reflecting the numerous recent developments in the field. Critical assessment This book gives plenty of advice to both pure and applied chemists. However, isotope dilution mass spectrometry has developed substantially over the last few decades, and it is increasingly difficult to cover all aspects of the method. Among the topics almost entirely omitted from this book is the blank correction. In addition: chapter 7 discusses mass-bias correction in mass spectrometry and the fact that most corrections rely on comparisons between the measured isotope ratios and the “theoretical” values provided byIUPAC. However, no further guidance is given as to how these “theoretical” values are obtained in the first place. The discourse on standard atomic weights is, at times, not well researched. For example, the authors voice the opinion that “atomic-weight intervals are useless not only for trade and commerce but also for Chemical Metrology”. Such a comment is unfortunate, because it does nothing to improve knowledge. More research by the authors on this topic would most certainly have benefited this book, and would mean readers would not be presented with freshman mistakes whereby atomic weights are expressed in g mol−1, or such comments as “the mol is the reference for the determination of the atomic weights” (the opposite is true; it is the atomic weights which serve as the reference to determine the mole). Summary This book provides helpful information on rarely considered aspects of isotope dilution. The authors thus effectively dispel the notion that isotope dilution is a simplemethod that will always provide accurate results. The few above shortcomings notwithstanding, this book is the biggest volume on isotope dilution mass spectrometry to date, and scientists of all abilities, whether beginners or experts, will be able to draw from this work. -- Juris Meija * Anal Bioanal Chem DOI 10.1007/s00216-014-7662-6 *Table of Contents1 Introduction to Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS);2 IDMS Procedures and Calculation Methods; 3 Online Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry; 4 The Use of Multiple Enriched Isotopes for IDMS; 5 The Isotope Composition of Natural-Abundance Elements and Molecules; 6 Selection of Isotopically Enriched Elements and Isotopically Labelled Molecules; 7 The Measurement of the Isotope Composition of the Elements; 8 The Measurement of the Isotope Composition of Molecules by Mass Spectrometry; 9 Traceability in Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry; 10 Uncertainty Evaluation in IDMS; Appendix Definition and Explanation of Symbols Used; Subject Index

Royal Society of Chemistry The Cosmic-Chemical Bond: Chemistry from the Big
Book SynopsisIntroducing astrochemistry to a wide audience, this book describes how molecules formed in chemical reactions occur in a range of environments in interstellar and circumstellar space, from shortly after the Big Bang up to the present epoch. Stressing that chemistry in these environments needs to be driven, it helps identify these drivers and the various chemical networks that operate giving rise to signature molecules that enable the physics of the region to be better understood. The book emphasises, in a non-mathematical way, the chemistry of the Milky Way Galaxy and its planet-forming regions, describes how other galaxies may have rather different chemistries and shows how chemistry was important even in the Early Universe when most of the elements had yet to be formed. This book will appeal to anyone with a general interest in chemistry, from students to professional scientists working in interdisciplinary areas and non-scientists fascinated by the evolving and exciting story of chemistry in the cosmos.Trade ReviewUK academics Williams (Univ. College London) and Hartquist (Univ. of Leeds) present an authoritative though skimpily documented account of the universe's evolution, from the prechemical times--shortly after the big bang--of isolated elementary particles and hyperenergetic photons, through the formation of atoms, to more complex molecules and dust particles, and finally to stars, planets, and galaxies. The emphasis is heavily chemical, with relatively brief focus on the physical dynamics of stellar fNmation and energy. The text is also unsparingly technical, though nonmathematical. The authors stipulate that the intended audienc;e is "anyone with a general interest in chemistry, from students to professional scientists." However, students will need a good background in chemistry and physics to follow the text. The presentation is adorned with stl'ikingly good color illustrations of deep-space objects in the throes of processes described. Unfortunately, bibliographic aids are limited to brief "Fwiher Reading" lists, dominated by the authors' and their students' contributions. The relatively terse index largely references individual scientists. There is no discussion (perhaps wisely; no one really understands it) ofthe "dark matter" and "dark energy" that may or may not, depending on cosmologists, dominate the evolution of galaxies and the universe. Js there a "dark chemistry"? Summing Up: Recommended. With reservations. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -- T R.

Royal Society of Chemistry Quantitative Proteomics
Book SynopsisAs a component of post-genome science, the field of proteomics has assumed great prominence in recent years. Whereas quantitative analyses focussed initially on relative quantification, a greater emphasis is now placed on absolute quantification and consideration of proteome dynamics. Coverage of the topic of quantitative proteomics requires consideration both of the analytical fundamentals of quantitative mass spectrometry and the specific demands of the problem being addressed. Quantitative Proteomics aims to outline the state of the art in mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics, describing recent advances and current limitations in the instrumentation used, together with the various methods employed for generating high quality data. Details on both strategies describing how stable isotope labelling can be applied and methods for performing quantitative analysis of proteins in a label-free manner are given. The utility of these strategies to understanding cellular protein dynamics are then exemplified with chapters looking at spatial proteomics, dynamics of protein function as determined by quantifying changes in protein post-translational modification and protein turnover. Finally, a key application of these techniques to biomarker discovery and validation is presented, together with the rapidly developing area of quantitative analysis of protein-based foodstuffs. This exemplary book is essential reading for analytical and biological mass spectrometrists working in proteomics research, as well as those undertaking either fundamental or clinical-based investigations with an interest in understanding protein dynamics and/or biomarker assessment.Trade Review"Quantitative Proteomics should not be regarded only as an updated reference book of cutting-edge bottom-up strategies for quantitative proteomics. Its reading makes us reflect on the enormous experimental progress made possible by the recent developments magnificently summarized in the 15 chapters in this new volume of the series New Developments in Mass Spectrometry." -- Juan J. Calvete * Journal of Proteomics, Volume 108, 2014, Pages 494-496 *Bio-molecular cycles are to say the least exceedingly complex. Although many cycles have already been defined, relatively little is known about the macromolecular workhorses that are embedded in the cells that actually do the work. It is only in the last two decades, with major advances in instrumentation, that insights into these complex mechanisms have been possible. Analysing a moving target is difficult at any time. When that target is the determination of protein composition as a function of the cell cycle, its age and its response to extracellular stimuli, the process becomes one of taking a snapshot in time. By definition this monitors the quantitative changes taking place over time and mass spectrometry is one of very few techniques capable of achieving this objective. Even with this very powerful tool, a very careful selection of appropriate strategies is called for, and this book describes those that have achieved at least a degree of success. The greatest limitation is that quantitative proteomics relies on the use of peptide surrogates as read-outs for the actual protein amount. Such simulations are not always reliable, a major fact recognised and emphasised throughout all chapters. With this in mind the editors have assembled authors with the necessary knowledge combined with an ability to explain current practices whilst simultaneously stating the limitations. Most authors also propose new ideas and possible extensions that may well apply in the future. The book is divided into a description of the technology (two chapters); label-based protein quantification (three chapters); label-free protein quantification (three chapters); dynamic protein quantification (four chapters); and application of quantitative proteomics (three chapters). The division between labelled and label-free quantification is most useful. It allows for a rapid comparison between methods and easier selection of the most appropriate method. The challenge in any method is to determine the absolute protein quantification at any given time and then reproduce it. At the forefront of current methods are HPLC and electrospray MS. As always with this technology, a major issue is how to identify the most appropriate sample preparation method, an issue recognised by most authors. The most intriguing chapters are the last two. It is encouraging to see a chapter on blood plasma. The blood processing industry is a key to human survival, is a massively important industry, and yet receives relatively little publicity. It is in effect largely hidden from public view. Non-communicable diseases account for 60 % of the world’s fatalities, and yet many could be detected by biomarkers if the technology were available—and quantitative proteomics offers the promise of inexpensive automated procedures on the millions of samples of blood taken daily. Similarly, in the chapter on food, application of similar methods offers the prospect of determining allergies in food, the new plague of allergic reaction now suffered by some 30 % of the western populace. It is regrettable that this book is unlikely to be read by those responsible for allocation of research funding. Development of the described technology holds significant promise in delivering automated methods capable of early detection and therefore easier and cheaper treatment of many diseases. -- K. Jones, Chromatographia * Chromatographia (2015) 78:141–142 *"the editors have assembled authors with the necessary knowledge combined with an ability to explain current practices whilst simultaneously stating the limitations.

Royal Society of Chemistry Tandem Mass Spectrometry of Lipids: Molecular
Book SynopsisThe emerging field of lipidomics has been made possible because of advances in mass spectrometry, and in particular tandem mass spectrometry of lipid ions generated by electrospray ionization. The ability to carry out basic biochemical studies of lipids using electrospray ionization is predicated upon understanding the behaviour of lipid derived ions following collision induced decomposition and mechanisms of product ion formation. During the past 20 years, a wealth of information has been generated about lipid molecules that are now analysed by mass spectrometry, however there is no central source where one can obtain basic information about how these very diverse biomolecules behave following collisional activation. This book brings together, in one volume, this information so that investigators considering using tandem mass spectrometry to structurally characterize lipids or to quantitate their occurrence in a biological matrix, will have a convenient source to review mechanism of decomposition reactions related to the diversity of lipid structures. A separate chapter is devoted to each of seven major lipid classes including fatty acids, eicosanoids and bioactive lipid mediators, fatty acyl esters and amides, glycerol esters, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and steroids. Mechanistic details are provided for understanding the pathways of formation of major product ions and ions used for structural characterization. In most cases specific ancillary information has been critical to understand the pathways, including isotope labeling and high resolution analysis of precursor and product ions. For a few specific examples such data is missing and pathways are proposed as a means to initiate further mass spectral experiments to prove or disprove pathway hypotheses. While this work largely centres on the lipid biochemistry of animal (mammalian) systems, general principles can be taken from the specific examples and applied to lipid biochemistry found in plants, fungi, prokaryotes and archeal organisms.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Fatty Acids; Bioactive Lipid Mediators; Glycerolipids; Glycerolphospholipids; Sphingolipids; Sterol Lipids; Index

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Expedition into the Nanoworld: An Exciting Voyage
Book SynopsisThe story of microscopy over the years is one of wonder, revelation, and even love. What better words could there be to describe the amazing things that we have been able to see, learn and accomplish thanks to the progress made in this field? A love story between a pieace of glass and the rainbow with an original soundtrack mad of poetry and music. From Galilei’s initial foray into basic optical microscopy, including the Camillo Golgi and Giuliano Toraldo di Francia lessons, to such later developments as time-resolved microscopy, multi-photon microscopy and three-dimensional microscopy to innovations such as optical nanoscopy, bioimaging and super resolution imaging, the book seeks to take the reader, be they scientist or layperson, on a journey through the evolution of the microscope and its many uses, including in the field of medicine. The author uses visible light as a through-line to unite the various chapters, as well as using fluorescence as a touchpoint from which to map the changes in the science, a significant choice, as it, along with label-free approaches and the addition of artificial intelligence, form the natural environment for development of the modern multi-messenger microscope towards bioimaging at the nanoscale.Table of Contents1. A Curious premise"My grandma was a beautiful woman...". This chapter tells about the motivation to decide to do research in life and why with the optical microscope. 2. Just observe!The optical microscope to observe living systems, from organs to proteins. The challenge from its invention to "tomorrow" to decipher cancer and neurological disorders. 3.The colours of the rainbowWe all live under the rainbow, colours are delivering the energy needed to explore the living by watching. 4. The sharpener of the lightWhen a curved piece of glass meets the light allows to see those fine dietails hidden to the eyes. 5. A three-dimensional worldFlatlandia is a novel, the real world is developed along three spatial dimensions and the optical microscope can produce three-dimensional animated "postcard" by simply changing the lens focus when observing around. 6. Modern times: the space and time of observationsTime is the fourth dimension that increases the budget of information at our disposal to understand what's going on at different time time and space scales. 7. Two photon are better than oneQuantum mechanics allows to start a joyful revolution in optical microscopy with relevant implicantions in medicine and biology. Two photon is a unique entity. 8. Super eyes to see beyond physical limitsLaws of physics limit the perfomances of the light microscope. No doubts. The image reconstrution channel has no limits if you are able to add information and the optical microscope an unlimited super power to visualize details. 9. Without a netNow is time to remove the net. We are skilled enough. So lets control the shape of light to get information without fluorescent labes. 10. The liquid microscope of the futureIllumination produces multiple messages tuning across time and space scales and artificial intelligence can merge them to deciphering nature. Liquid tunable microscopy could provide the opportunity to see things differently and to change our point of view, abandoning the obsession of representing the “real world” we have in mind when forming an image. Lets see further!11. Pop microscopy"Grown-ups never understand anything on their own, and it is tiring for children to always have to give them explanations. "We use nice images to bring you to instruments and applications like in a pop song that people whistle in the shower. 12. AcknowledgmentsIt is a love narration in the love story between a curved piece of glass and the rainbow.

De Gruyter Nanostructured Materials: Applications, Synthesis
Book SynopsisFrom a political, societal and scientific point of view, it is imperative to counteract global warming and overcome energy scarcity. From a scientific perspective, nanostructured materials play a crucial role in achieving these goals, e.g. in the development of energy-saving light-emitting diodes, solar cells, rechargeable batteries or gas storage technologies. However, the potential design of the structure-related properties of such nanostructured compounds requires in-depth knowledge and strict control of their crystallization processes, which can be achieved by monitoring the corresponding chemical reactions in situ. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students who wish to gain an overview of the applications, synthesis, or in situ characterization of inorganic nanostructured compounds such as lanthanide-based materials, quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, bioceramics, battery electrodes, and metal-organic frameworks.Table of ContentsFrom the Contents: - Nanoparticles - Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) - Luminescent Materials - Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) - Lanthanides - In-situ Characterization

De Gruyter Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy: Principles and Applications
Book SynopsisQuite a few excellent books about vibrational spectroscopy have already been published. So why write a new one? The last years have seen the birth of new techniques and, first of all, a wealth of new applications. Therefore, a lot of new users need an introduction to these techniques and applications, but, if they are new to vibrational spectroscopy, an introduction to the parent techniques as well. Vibrational spectroscopies can detect and analyze vibrations in molecules. Mainly two different forms are used today: Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Vibrational spectroscopy is used by chemists to characterize their substances. If the spectra of substances are known, analytical chemists can use them to analyze a mixture of chemicals. Samples may be analyzed even with spatial resolution, on the microscopic as well as on the macroscopic scale. "Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy" is intended for researchers or lecturers in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science and Life Sciences, who are interested in the composition and properties of their samples. It describes how vibrational spectroscopy will enable them to examine thin layers, surfaces and interfaces, and also improve their knowledge about the properties of composites. Special chapters introduce VCD, ROA, and TERS. The book can serve as a short introduction to vibrational spectroscopy too, so that students at the first graduate level will benefit from it as well.

Springer International Publishing AG Molecular Physical Chemistry: A Computer-based
Book SynopsisThis is the physical chemistry textbook for students with an affinity for computers! It offers basic and advanced knowledge for students in the second year of chemistry masters studies and beyond. In seven chapters, the book presents thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, quantum mechanics and molecular structure (including an introduction to quantum chemical calculations), molecular symmetry and crystals. The application of physical-chemical knowledge and problem solving is demonstrated in a chapter on water, treating both the water molecule as well as water in condensed phases.Instead of a traditional textbook top-down approach, this book presents the subjects on the basis of examples, exploring and running computer programs (Mathematica®), discussing the results of molecular orbital calculations (performed using Gaussian) on small molecules and turning to suitable reference works to obtain thermodynamic data. Selected Mathematica® codes are explained at the end of each chapter and cross-referenced with the text, enabling students to plot functions, solve equations, fit data, normalize probability functions, manipulate matrices and test physical models. In addition, the book presents clear and step-by-step explanations and provides detailed and complete answers to all exercises. In this way, it creates an active learning environment that can prepare students for pursuing their own research projects further down the road.Students who are not yet familiar with Mathematica® or Gaussian will find a valuable introduction to computer-based problem solving in the molecular sciences. Other computer applications can alternatively be used. For every chapter learning goals are clearly listed in the beginning, so that readers can easily spot the highlights, and a glossary in the end of the chapter offers a quick look-up of important terms.Table of ContentsThermodynamics.- Chemical Kinetics.- Schrödinger Equation.- Molecular Symmetry.- Molecular Structure.- Crystals.- Water.- Appendix.- Solutions to the Exercises.

Springer International Publishing AG Fundamentals of van der Waals and Casimir
Book SynopsisThis book presents a self-contained derivation of van der Waals and Casimir type dispersion forces, covering the interactions between two atoms but also between microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic objects of various shapes and materials. It also presents detailed and general prescriptions for finding the normal modes and the interactions in layered systems of planar, spherical and cylindrical types, with two-dimensional sheets, such as graphene incorporated in the formalism. A detailed derivation of the van der Waals force and Casimir-Polder force between two polarizable atoms serves as the starting point for the discussion of forces: Dispersion forces, of van der Waals and Casimir type, act on bodies of all size, from atoms up to macroscopic objects. The smaller the object the more these forces dominate and as a result they play a key role in modern nanotechnology through effects such as stiction. They show up in almost all fields of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and even cosmology. Written by a condensed matter physicist in the language of condensed matter physics, the book shows readers how to obtain the electromagnetic normal modes, which for metallic systems, is especially useful in the field of plasmonics.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part I - Background Material.- Electromagnetic.- Complex Analysis.- Statistical Physics.- Electromagnetic Normal Modes.- Different Approaches.- General Method to find the Normal Modes in Layered Structures.- Part II - Non-retarded Formalism: van der Waals.- Van der Waals Force.- Van der Waals Interaction in Planar Structures.- Van der Waals Interaction in Spherical Structures.- Van der Waals Interaction in Cylindrical Structures.- Part III - Fully Retarded Formalism: Casimir.- Casimir Interaction.- Dispersion Interaction in Planar Structures.- Dispersion Interaction in Spherical Structures.- Dispersion Interaction in Cylindrical Structures.- Summary and Outlook.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Nukleare Festkörperphysik: Kernphysikalische
Book SynopsisDas vorliegende Buch über "Nukleare Festkörperphysik" soll der zuneh menden Bedeutung dieses Gebietes in Forschung und Lehre insbesondere in Deutschland Rechnung tragen. Bei Vorlesungen, die wir seit meh reren Jahren an der Universität Konstanz durchführen, mußten wir fest stellen, daß es eine einheitliche Darstellung des Gebietes der nuklearen Festkörperphysik bisher nicht gibt. Durch die Vorlage dieses Buches woll ten wir diesem Mangel abhelfen. In diesem Buch werden verschiedene kernphysikalische Meßmethoden beschrieben und durch Anwendungsbeispiele aus der Festkörperphysik untermauert. Das Buch ist gedacht als begleitendes Lehrbuch zu einer Vorlesung über nukleare Festkörperphysik oder angewandte Kernphysik, als Lektüre zur Vorbereitung von Seminaren und von Versuchen im Fort geschrittenenpraktikum und als Einstiegslektüre in eines der behandel ten Forschungsgebiete. Der große Zuspruch, den das Buch sowohl bei den Lehrenden wie auch bei den Studenten gefunden hat, zeigt uns, daß das zugrundeliegende Konzept richtig ist und für die nun vorliegende 2.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH NMR Spectroscopy: Basic Principles, Concepts and
Book SynopsisNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and widely used techniques in chemical research for investigating structures and dynamics of molecules. Advanced methods can even be utilized for structure determinations of biopolymers, for example proteins or nucleic acids. NMR is also used in medicine for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method is based on spectral lines of different atomic nuclei that are excited when a strong magnetic field and a radiofrequency transmitter are applied. The method is very sensitive to the features of molecular structure because also the neighboring atoms influence the signals from individual nuclei and this is important for determining the 3D-structure of molecules. This new edition of the popular classic has a clear style and a highly practical, mostly non-mathematical approach. Many examples are taken from organic and organometallic chemistry, making this book an invaluable guide to undergraduate and graduate students of organic chemistry, biochemistry, spectroscopy or physical chemistry, and to researchers using this well-established and extremely important technique. Problems and solutions are included.Trade Review“Few good textbooks on NMR Spectroscopy are available at either the undergraduate or graduate levels.
