INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides general information and guidance regarding scientifically sound practices for solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis and interpretation of typical NMR data for compendial and industrial applications. Theoretical principles, instrumentation, and general experimental considerations of NMR spectroscopy are discussed. NMR, commonly used in qualitative and quantitative applications, is described. This chapter may be viewed as a supplement to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy 〈761〉.
