English
A discussion is then presented on carbon-13 NMR, detailing its pros and cons and showing how it can be used in conjunction with proton NMR via the pivotal 2-D techniques (HSQC and HMBC) to yield vital structural information. Some of the more specialist techniques available are then discussed, i.e. flow NMR, solvent suppression, Magic Angle Spinning, etc. Other important nuclei are then discussed and useful data supplied. This is followed by a discussion of the neglected use of NMR as a tool for quantification and new techniques for this explained. The book then considers the safety aspects of NMR spectroscopy, reviewing NMR software for spectral prediction and data handling and concludes with a set of worked Q&As.

John Hollerton joined the GSK spectroscopy department in 1980. Having spent time working with other spectroscopic techniques, he has been focused on NMR spectroscopy since 1982. He is now the manager with a staff of thirteen scientists working under his direction. John has also lectured internationally on the subject on many occasions.
