Our attempt to present NMR spectroscopy to the beginner in a somewhat
different way was well-received, so that we were invited by Springer to make
some additions to the original for a second edition. Naturally we have modified
the text to take account of justified criticisms of the first edition. We decided
immediately to extend the number and scope of the problems section
comprising Part 2, as we know that this section has been very useful to our
readers. We felt that solid-state NMR is now so important and so relatively
easy to do that it would be well worth giving the reader a brief account of its
advantages and disadvantages. And, having already dealt with four important
nuclei in some detail, we decided to add some basic information on a number
of other spin-½ nuclei which are now often studied.
We thank Prof. Janet Blümel, Texas A&M University, and the Gesellschaft
Deutscher Chemiker for allowing us to reproduce solid state NMR spectra.
In addition we thank Klaus Jurkschat and Bernhard Lippert and their groups
for making available samples of organometallic molecules. Thanks also go to
Andrea Bokelmann and Bernhard Griewel for their valuable technical help.
