Book description
The content of this volume has been added to
eMagRes (formerly Encyclopedia of Magnetic
Resonance) - the ultimate
online resource for NMR and MRI.
The term "NMR Crystallography" has only recently come into
common usage, and even now causes raised eyebrows within some parts of
the diffraction community. The power of solid-state NMR to give
crystallographic information has considerably increased since the
CPMAS suite of techniques was introduced in 1976. In the first years
of the 21st century, the ability of NMR to provide information to
support and facilitate the analysis of single-crystal and powder
diffraction patterns has become widely accepted. Indeed, NMR can now
be used to refine diffraction results and, in favorable cases, to
solve crystal structures with minimal (or even no) diffraction data.
The increasing ability to relate chemical shifts (including the tensor
components) to the crystallographic location of relevant atoms in the
unit cell via computational methods has added significantly to the
practice of NMR crystallography. Diffraction experts will increasingly
welcome NMR as an allied technique in their structural analyses.
Indeed, it may be that in the future crystal structures will be
determined by simultaneously fitting diffraction patterns and NMR spectra.
This Handbook is organised into six sections. The first contains an
overview and some articles on fundamental NMR topics, followed by a
section concentrating on chemical shifts, and one on coupling
interactions. The fourth section contains articles describing how NMR
results relate to fundamental crystallography concepts and to
diffraction methods. The fifth section concerns specific aspects of
structure, such as hydrogen bonding. Finally, four articles in the
sixth section give applications of NMR crystallography to structural
biology, organic & pharmaceutical chemistry, inorganic &
materials chemistry, and geochemistry.
About EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks
The Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance (up to 2012) and
eMagRes (from 2013 onward) publish a wide range of online
articles on all aspects of magnetic resonance in physics, chemistry,
biology and medicine. The existence of this large number of articles,
written by experts in various fields, is enabling the publication of a
series of
EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks on specific areas of
NMR and MRI. The chapters of each of these handbooks will comprise a
carefully chosen selection of articles from eMagRes. In
consultation with the eMagRes Editorial Board, the
EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks are coherently planned
in advance by specially-selected Editors, and new articles are written
(together with updates of some already existing articles) to give
appropriate complete coverage. The handbooks are intended to be of
value and interest to research students, postdoctoral fellows and
other researchers learning about the scientific area in question and
undertaking relevant experiments, whether in academia or industry.
