Computer Assistance in the Analysis of High-Resolution NMR Spectra

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 ofall branches by one author, or...
