Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of the last century, Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become a powerful and ubiquitous analytical tool for the determination of molecular identity, structure, and function. Traditionally, the great analytical power of NMR comes at the cost of mobility and large expenses for cryogenic cooling. This thesis presents how zero-field NMR detected with an atomic magnetometer is emerging as a new, potentially portable and cost-effective modality of NMR with the ability of providing information-rich and high-resolution spectra. A detailed description of the zero-field NMR spectrometer and its operation is provided. The thesis details how the acquired zero-field NMR spectra result from the electron mediated scalar interaction (J-coupling) of nuclear spins in an analyte. Simple rules of addition of angular momenta are introduced for the prediction of the observed spectral lines overcoming the need for numerical simulations and enabling unambiguous assignment of peaks to different molecules. Additional information can be obtained in the near zero field regime, where the Zeeman interaction can be treated as a perturbation to the J-coupling. The presence of small magnetic fields results in splitting of the zero-field NMR lines, imparting additional information to the pure zero-field spectra. In addition to the utilization of the atomic magnetometers for enhanced sensitivity, hyperpolarization schemes can be implemented. This thesis shows that chemically specific zero-field NMR spectra can be recorded using hydrogenative and non-hydrogenative parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP, NH-PHIP), enabling high-resolution NMR. The increased sensitivity enables detection of compounds with 13C or 15N in natural abundance. Since PHIP and NH-PHIP operate in situ, and eliminate the need for a prepolarizing magnet, they broaden the analytical capabilities of zero-field NMR. Lastly, this thesis gives insight into the PHIP and NH-PHIP mechanism by developing an appropriate theoretical framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Magnetic Resonance: The Waugh Symposium, Volume 14 is a collection of manuscripts presented at the 1989 symposium on "High Resolution NMR in Solids, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The contributors provide 20- to 30-page articles consistent with AMR's traditional emphasis on quantitative analysis of NMR techniques. Organized into 13 chapters, this book discusses the principles triple-quantum filtered two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy and its application in the measurement of cross correlation between pairs of dipole-dipole interactions. It then describes alternative ways of using fictitious spin in pulsed nuclear quadrupole resonance or NMR. General topics on the application of optical spectroscopy; the saturation of spin-spin energy by slow continuous bulk rotation; the frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg pulse cycle; and high-resolution proton NMR in solid systems are also explored. A chapter examines an entirely different view of spin dynamics in the presence of radio-frequency fields. This book also deals with the theoretical background and application of solid-state and zero-field NMR spectroscopies to structure determination. Lastly, the utilization of the Floquet formalism in the design of broadband propagators in two-level systems and the two classes of novel NMR phenomena related to the symmetrization postulate are discussed. Analytical and quantum chemists, physicists, biochemists, and materials science researchers will find this book invaluable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is ubiquitous as a tool for investigating the structure of both molecules and materials. In most cases the best results are obtained by placing the sample under study in the largest possible magnetic field, since this maximizes both the sensitivity and the resolution of the experiment. This fact underlies the momentous engineering effor that has gone into developing ever larger super-conducting magnets for use in NMR experiments. However, there are many applications of NMR where the sheer size, not to mention cost, of a high-field instrument can not be accommodated. Therefore there has been a sustained research effort aimed at developing small mobile NMR systems that are not based on super-conducting magnets. NMR performed in zero-field, using magnetic shielding to screen out the ambient field of the earth, and detected using vapor-cell magnetometers, is one such approach. In zero-field NMR the signal originates entirely in the spin-spin coupling part of the Hamiltonian and chemically informative spectra are obtained even in the absence of chemical-shifts. The very large absolute field homogeneity obtainable at zero-field ensures that the spectral resolution is even better than in high-field spectrometers. Perhaps even more interestingly, the different geometry that results from not having a preferred axis imposed on the system enables experiments that are not possible in the presence of magnetic fields. Examples include the ability to distinguish enantiomers based on the phase of an NMR signal. This work extends directly detected zero-field NMR beyond pulse-acquire type experiments. New methods for spin control and excitation, as well as two-dimensional spectroscopy and various decoupling techniques are introduced and demonstrated experimentally. For completeness this dissertation also contains a review of zero-field J-spectroscopy, as well as a detailed guide to the relevant instrumentation. It is my hope that the techniques presented herein will find use in future NMR experiments performed in the regime of zero and ultralow field, whether the application is portable chemical analysis, fundamental physics, or anything in between.

Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which has evolved only within the last 20 years, has become one of the very important tools in chemistry and physics. The literature on its theory and application has grown immensely and a comprehensive and adequate treatment of all branches by one author, or even by several, becomes increasingly difficult. This series is planned to present articles written by experts working in various fields of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and will contain review articles as well as progress reports and original work. Its main aim, however, is to fill a gap, existing in literature, by publishing articles written by specialists, which take the reader from the introductory stage to the latest development in the field.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is among the most powerful analytical tools available to the chemical and biological sciences for chemical detection, characterization, and structure elucidation. NMR experiments are usually performed in large magnetic fields in order to maximize sensitivity and increase chemical shift resolution. However, the high magnetic fields required for conventional NMR necessitate large, immobile, and expensive superconducting magnets, limiting the use of the technique. New hyperpolarization and non-inductive detection methods have recently allowed for NMR measurements in the inverse regime of extremely low magnetic fields. Whereas a substantial body of research has been conducted in the high-field regime, taking advantage of the efficient coherent control afforded by a spectroscopy dominated by coupling to the spectrometer, the zero- and ultra-low-field (ZULF) regime has remained mostly unexplored. In this dissertation, we investigate the applicability of ZULF-NMR as a novel spectroscopic technique complimentary to high-field NMR. In particular, we consider various aspects of the ZULF-NMR experiment and the dynamics of nuclear spins under various local spin coupling Hamiltonians. We first survey zero-field NMR experiments on systems dominated by the electron-mediated indirect spin-spin coupling (J-coupling). The resulting J-spectra permit precision measurement of chemically relevant information due to the exquisite sensitivity of J-couplings to subtle changes in molecular geometry and electronic structure. We also consider the effects of weak magnetic fields and residual dipolar couplings in anisotropic media, which encode information about nuclear magnetic moments and geometry, and further resolve topological ambiguities by lifting degeneracies. By extending the understanding of the interactions that contribute to ZULF-NMR spectra, this work represents a significant advancement towards a complete description of zero- and ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Download or read book Compact NMR written by Bernhard Blümich and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to provide an introduction to the practical use of mobile NMR at a level as basic as the operation of a smart phone. Each description follows the same didactic pattern: introduction, basic theory, pulse sequences and parameters, beginners-level measurements, advanced-level measurements, and data processing. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most popular method for chemists to analyze molecular structures while Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool for medical doctors that provides high-contrast images of biological tissue depicting the brain function and the beating heart. In both applications large super-conducting magnets are employed which magnetize atomic nuclei of an object positioned inside the magnet. Their circulating motion is interrogated by radio-frequency waves. Depending on the operating mode, the frequency spectrum provides the chemist with molecular information, the medical doctor with anatomic images, while the materials scientist is interested in NMR relaxation parameters, which scale with material properties and determine the contrast in magnetic resonance images. Recent advances in magnet technology led to a variety of small permanent magnets, by which NMR spectra, images, and relaxation parameters can be measured with mobile and low-cost instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has undergone explosive development during the last decade with the advent of new one- and two-dimensional techniques. The author has had extensive experience in the use of these techniques for the structure elucidation of complex natural products, and in this book he gives a comprehensive, up-to-date and very readable account of these developments. The book's scope is very wide. It starts from fundamental principles of modern NMR spectroscopy, describing the instrumentation and its optimum use, and extends to the latest developments such as inverse measurements. Emphasis is on problem-solving so as to be useful to a large number of organic chemists, biochemists and medicinal chemists. The problems and worked solutions at the end of the chapters will help students to gain proficiency in the application of these new techniques. Those who are learning how to operate modern NMR spectrometers will find particularly useful the description of such basic aspects as shimming, probe tuning, and methods for improvement of resolution and sensitivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is presently going through an explosive phase of development. This has been brought about largely on account of the advent of Fourier transform NMR spectrometers linked to powerful microcomputers which have opened up a whole new world for structural chemists and biochemists. This is exemplified by a host of publications, especially on new pulse sequences, which continue to provide new exciting modifications for recording two-dimensional NMR. Moreover, NMR is no longer confined to structural chemists but has moved firmly into the area of medicine as a powerful nondestructive body scanning technique. With this background, I felt that there was need for a text which would provide a fairly comprehensive account of the important features of 1 H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy in one book, as well as make available an up-to-date account of recent developments of new pulse sequences, with particular reference to 2D-NMR spectroscopy. Since this book is written for students of chemistry and biochemistry as well as for biology students who have chemistry as a subsidiary, it was decided to avoid a complex mathematical treatment and to present, as far as possible without oversimplification, a qualitative account of 1 H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy as it is today. I hope that the book satisfactorily meets these objectives.
