Nuclear magnetic resonance physical chemistry course

In the last three decades, nuclear magnetic resonance has become a powerful tool for investigating the structural and physical properties of matter. Today, nuclear magnetic resonance is the physical method most widely used in analytical chemistry. For special applications, e.g. relaxation time measurements, there is available a variety of modifications of the basic nuclear magnetic resonance experiments such as pulse and spin-echo methods. In the course of this development and when electronic computers were provided at a reasonable price, Fourier transform spectroscopy was applied to nuclear magnetic resonance in the middle of the sixties. At that time, Fourier methods were already used to a large extent in far infrared spectroscopy (see Refs. and references cited therein).
