This is a methods-oriented book, which contains enormous amounts of information on 31P NMR, in a concise and well-edited format. It is an invaluable resource for every NMR spectroscopist.
This book consists of 33 chapters, which together 'constitute a compendium that will be of optimal utility to the majority of 31P NMR spectroscopy users as well as to those perhaps not as familiar with the technique but curious about potential applications in their own research.' (From the editors' preface)
There have been a number of new developments in NMR techniques in the 6 years since...

The organic chemistry of phosphorus covers compounds containing functional groups with carbon-phosphorus bonds, as well as organic esters of inorganic phosphorus acids. This is a survey of most of the important phosphorus-containing functional groups and covers areas of interest in research, such as unusual co-ordination states, heterocycles, applications of 31P-NMR and other spectroscopic methods. It includes representative methods of synthesis, plus references to detailed synthetic procedures. It also presents electronic mechanisms and reactive intermediates where established and contains...

• Heterocyclic chemistry is of prime importance as a sub-discipline of Organic Chemistry, as millions of heterocyclic compounds are known with more being synthesized regularly
• Introduces students to heterocyclic chemistry and synthesis with practical examples of applied methodology
• Emphasizes natural product and pharmaceutical applications
• Provides graduate students and researchers in the pharmaceutical and related sciences with a background in the field
• Includes problem sets with several chapters
