NMR of Paramagnetic Molecules

Applications of NMR to paramagnetic molecules and biomolecules, both in solution and in the solid state, keep growing both in number and sophistication. They represent a respectable share of all NMR activity. For NMR experiments on paramagnetic systems, one should understand the general theory of NMR and, on top of this, the theory of the electron-nucleus interaction and its consequences for the NMR parameters. For these reasons, the fi eld of NMR of paramagnetic molecules has its own niche in the entire scientifi c panorama. With this book, the authors aim to provide an up-to-date tool for everyone wishing to understand, predict, and exploit-or minimize-the effects of paramagnetic centers on the NMR spectra of molecules and biomolecules.
