Abstract

The quality of NMR spectra is critically dependent on numerous factors, among which are the condition of the instrument at the time the data are collected, the homogeneity of the magnetic field, the type of experiments chosen, how the data are acquired and subsequently processed, etc. In this chapter, practical aspects related to the experiments are discussed in detail.
