Preface

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is a powerful tool, especially for the identification of hitherto unknown organic compounds. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy is known and applied by virtually every synthetically working Organic Chemist. Consequently, the factors governing the differences in chemical shift values, based on chemical environment, bonding, temperature, solvent, pH, etc., are well understood, and specialty methods developed for almost every conceivable structural challenge. Proton and carbon NMR spectroscopy is part of most bachelors degree courses, with advanced methods integrated into masters degree and other graduate courses. In view of this universal knowledge about proton and carbon NMR spectroscopy within the chemical community, it is remarkable that heteronuclear NMR is still looked upon as something of a curiosity. Admittedly, most organic compounds contain only nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms, as well as the obligatory hydrogen and carbon atoms, elements that have an unfavourable isotope distribution when it comes to NMR spectroscopy. Each of these three elements has a dominant isotope: 14 N (99.63% natural abundance), 16O (99.76%), and 32S (95.02%), with 16O, 32S, and 34 S (4.21%) NMR silent. 14N has a nuclear moment I = 1 and a sizeable quadrupolar moment that makes the NMR signals usually very broad and difficult to analyse. There are quite a few less common heteronuclei, particularly in Elementorganic Chemistry, with highly important applications in catalysis, CˆC and CˆN bond forming reactions, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacy, Green Chemistry and natural product synthesis, to name a few, that would make studying their NMR spectroscopy highly beneficial to
