Paul S. Pregosin Livres

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.

The book delves into the evolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, highlighting its initial focus on proton measurements and the challenges faced in studying less common nuclei like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and fluorine. It discusses the technical hurdles, such as low natural abundance and spin-spin coupling, that complicated these studies. Significant advancements, particularly the introduction of broad band 1H-decoupling and Fourier Transform methods, are presented as pivotal breakthroughs that improved signal clarity and enabled the exploration of complex metal catalysts.
