The Nuclear Overhauser Effect in Structural and Conformational Analysis by David Neuhaus and Michael P. Williamson is a comprehensive resource on the Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE), a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This effect is instrumental in elucidating the three-dimensional structures and conformations of molecules in solution.
This book is designed for chemistry educators and students, promoting a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to learning chemistry. Instead of simply following instructions, students are encouraged to explore and investigate chemical concepts through experiments that require critical thinking and analysis.
Pedagogical, step-by-step group theory to spectroscopy Includes study questions at each chapter end; covers point groups, character tables, normal modes, IR/Raman, MO theory, ligand field, electronic spectra
This textbook is designed for liberal arts students, meaning it likely emphasizes conceptual understanding over mathematical rigor. It introduces fundamental principles of chemistry in a broad, accessible way, possibly incorporating historical, societal, and practical applications of chemistry.
