The application of NMR spectroscopy into new fields of research continues on an
almost daily basis. High-resolution NMR experiments on compounds of low molecular
mass in the liquid phase are now routine and modern NMR spectroscopy is aimed at
overcoming some of the inherent problems associated with the technique. Thus higher
magnetic field strengths can be used to help overcome the problems associated with low
sample concentration enabling the analysis of complex spectra of large macromolecules
such as proteins whilst also helping to advance the study of non liquid samples by MAS
and solid state NMR spectroscopy. Apart from the chemical and physical research fields
NMR spectroscopy has become an integral part of industrial production and medicine,
e.g. by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy).
The basic principles of acquiring the raw time domain data, processing this data and then
analysing the spectra is similar irrespective of the particular technique used. The
diversity of NMR is such that a newcomer to NMR spectroscopy might train in the field
of high resolution NMR and establish his career in solid state NMR. A distinct advantage
of NMR spectroscopy is that the basic knowledge of acquisition, processing and analysis
may be transferred from one field of endeavour to another.
