Literature List on FT-NMR



A Primer of Fourier Transform NMR. Macomber, R. S. J. Chem. Educ. 1985, 62, 213-214.
A simple description of the pulsed Fourier transform NMR experiment (without references). Useful illustration of the effect of dwell time on the quality of the digitally recorded FID.

The Fourier Transform in Chemistry - NMR - A Glossary of Terms. King, R. W.; Williams, K. R. J. Chem. Educ. 1990, 67, A100-A105.
A useful collection of terms on FT methods (NMR or IR). This glossary is designed to accompany the authors series of 4 JCE articles on the Fourier Transform in Chemistry.

The Fourier Transform in Chemistry. King, R. W.; Williams, K. R.
Part 1: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: Introduction. J. Chem. Educ. 1989, 66, A213-A219.
Part 2: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: The Single Pulse Experiment. J. Chem. Educ. 1989, 66, A243-A248.
Part 3: Multiple Pulse Experiments. J. Chem. Educ. 1990, 67, A93-A99.
Part 4: Two-Dimensional Methods. J. Chem. Educ. 1990, 67, A125-A137.
This is a very useful series of articles. Don't be bothered by the fact that the sequence differs a bit from the sequence chosen in the lecture. After 9/5 we will have covered all of Part 1 (except the correlation times) and most of Part 2 (except for the NOE). Reading these articles to review the material covered in lecture and in the textbooks will be very benficial to you and is highly recommended.

On the Way of Introducing Some Basic NMR Aspects. From the Classical and the naive Quantum Models to the Density-Operator Approach. Panigua, J. C.; Moyano, A. J. Chem. Educ. 1996, 73, 310-318.
This article is appealing as it compares the "Naive Quantum Model" (what all the books teach) to the "Classical Model" and the "Density Operator Approach". The first half is useful and the second half is probably more than we need.
