Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Organic Chemistry: Theoretical Foundations and Measurement Techniques
This material has been developed based on lecture content delivered at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It is intended primarily for doctoral students and aims to introduce organic chemists to the practical aspects of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The text provides a concise overview of the fundamental principles of NMR spectroscopy, selected issues concerning measurement techniques, characteristics of nuclides relevant to organic chemistry, and descriptions of the most important types of NMR experiments.
The author has endeavored to present the content in an accessible and illustrative manner, with a popular-science character. While this occasionally comes at the expense of strict theoretical rigor, it renders the material approachable even for readers without extensive formal training in the underlying theory. Readers interested in the interpretation of NMR spectra – both at the introductory and advanced levels – are encouraged to consult the textbook authored by Prof. Witold Danikiewicz and Dr. Olga Staszewska-Krajewska.
