NMR Spectroscopy in Inorganic Chemistry (Oxford Chemistry Primers) 1st Edition

This book has served me many times as an invaluable quick reference guide for interpreting various spectra throughout my research. I always keep it nearby, and it is not often that I don't reference it at least once when interpreting and assigning my spectra. The book does provide chapter or two of introductory background, but novice researchers not yet thoroughly familiar with NMR fundamentals will find themselves better served with a less advanced text. However for those with an at least intermediate level working knowledge of NMR spectroscopy will surely benefit from this reference. Also, as the title clarifies, this particular book is applicable mostly to INORGANIC NMR (H-1, H-2, P-31, and Si-29 isotopes, to name a few of the covered topics): Researchers in other fields (e.g. organic chemistry) who do not have a common need for non-carbon or non-proton NMR might be better served by a reference more specific to their field. I also highly recommend "Inorganic Spectroscopic Methods" by Alan K. Brisdon, also from the Oxford Chemistry Primers series, as another invaluable quick reference for mass spectrometry, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy as they apply to inorganic chemistry. Hope this helps.

good book - as advertised - fast delivery

Ottimo per corso di base

A very good book on NMR spectroscopy. Would recommend

Cover page was right but the inside content was wrong.

I have only this year gone into the details of the differences between Inorganic and Organic NMR spectroscopy. I was having some difficulties with the subject but this does explain them very well (apart from some inappropriately placed Latin phrases in the first couple of chapters). Plus because Inorganic and Organic are fundamentally the same thing it does do a good job of explaining NMR in general.This isn't what I would call cheap for such a small book but it sure isn't expensive either. Would be the sort of thing you could convince a parent to buy for you when you go home from University at the weekend or something.Overall a good book and I'm sure it will get a lot of use in the next few years.

These Oxford Chemistry Primers entered the market just over 15 years ago. Great value for an authoritative brief introduction to topics which you don't want to spend the time or money buying massive textbooks for!
