Phosphorus-31 NMR Spectral Properties in Compound Characterization and Structural Analysis (Methods in Stereochemical Analysis)

This is a methods-oriented book, which contains enormous amounts of information on 31P NMR, in a concise and well-edited format. It is an invaluable resource for every NMR spectroscopist.
This book consists of 33 chapters, which together 'constitute a compendium that will be of optimal utility to the majority of 31P NMR spectroscopy users as well as to those perhaps not as familiar with the technique but curious about potential applications in their own research.' (From the editors' preface)
There have been a number of new developments in NMR techniques in the 6 years since Verkade and Quin edited the first, successful book on 31P NMR. This new book does not supersede the previous book; it offers a wide cross-section of recent research. Compard to the first, basic, grounding volume, this book presents more results (it is more applied); it directly reflects a more mature science.
Arguably, VCH has published the best NMR books in recent years (Neuhaus/Williamson, Croasmun/Carlson, etc.). This new addition to VCH's NMR list ensures the continued visibility and excellence of VCH in this field.

Louis D. Quin, PhD, is Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and James B. Duke Professor Emeritus at Duke University and Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts.

John G. Verkade, PhD, is a professor at Iowa State University. In 1994 he and one of his graduate students were national winners of the BF Goodrich Collegiate Team Inventors Award for work on their patented superbase catalysts. In 1995 he won the Iowa State University LAS College Award for Excellence in Research. He has served as chairman of the Editorial Board of Chemical and Engineering News, and as an associate editor of Phosphorus, Sulfur and Silicon.
