Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy, Volume 47 (Annual Reports on Nmr Spectroscopy)

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool used by chemists and physicists to study the structure and dynamics of molecules. In recent years, no other technique has grown to such importance as NMR spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of science where precise structural determination is required and where the nature of interactions and reactions in solution is being studied. Annual Reports on NMR has established itself as a premier means for the specialist and nonspecialist alike to become familiar with new techniques and applications of NMR spectroscopy.

Suitable for the specialist and non-specialist alike to become familiar with techniques and applications of NMR spectroscopy, this title provides developments in NMR spectroscopy. The element lead possesses only one magnetically active isotope, 207Pb, with spin I = 1/2, a fairly high natural abundance of 22.6%, and an appreciably high NMR receptivity (factor 11.9 when compared with 13C; see Table 1 for some properties of selected spin-1/2 nuclei, and Table 2 for some quadrupolar nuclei).
