Description

This book deals with spin relaxation by underlying the similarities between nuclear and electron spins, and provides a clear and unified picture of the behaviour of spins in magnetic resonance. Tailored for scientists dealing with chemical applications of relaxation phenomena, it reviews the basic theory together with the mathematical approach and shows how the theory elucidates the structure and dynamic behaviour of transition metal complexes, metal clusters and metalloproteins. The complete theory of contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging is also presented. The book acts as a guide for anyone working with paramagnetic systems, from physical and inorganic chemists to biophysicists.
