Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Theory and Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Techniques of Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Progress in Optical Science and Photonics ((POSP,volume 13))

Abstract

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is considered as most powerful technique for structure elucidation of compounds. It is known as unambiguous technique for identification and structural-determination of organic compounds through its diverse variants. This chapter describes introduction to the basics of NMR technique-theory and technical interpretations, instrumentation, detailed descriptions of proton (1H) and carbon (13C)-NMR with suitable examples, brief introduction of other variants—DEPT, fluorine (19F), phosphorus (31P) of NMR techniques and recent applications of NMR-techniques in various fields.
