The first and ultimate guide for anyone working in transition organometallic chemistry and related fields, providing the background and
practical guidance on how to efficiently work with routine research problems in NMR.
The book adopts a problem-solving approach with many examples taken from recent literature to show readers how to interpret the data.
Perfect for PhD students, postdocs and other newcomers in organometallic and inorganic chemistry, as well as for organic chemists
involved in transition metal catalysis.

For almost a quarter of a century the words "nuclear magnetic reso nance" were synonymous with proton I, leasurements. During this period the literature abounded with a seemingly infinite variety of 1H NHR studies concerned primarily with carbon chemistry. Occasionally a "novel" nucleus was studied and, even in those early days, the poten- 13 14 31 19 tial offered by C, N, P and F was clearly recognized. Despite the allure, the technical difficulties involved in measuring some of these nuclei were far from trivial. Small magnetic moments and low natural abundance in combination with spin-spin...
