NMR crystallography has blossomed as a focussed field of research in recent years and is now acknowledged as such by the International Union of Crystallography. The term ‘NMR crystallography’ itself has proven to be inclusive of many NMR-centric approaches which seek to solve or refine crystal structures. Since the publication of a seminal book over ten years ago, there have been numerous advances in experimental methodology, in computational tools, and in the fruitful combination of these to provide new insights into structure and dynamics in a range of solid materials.

This book presents insightful contributions describing these advances as well as a broad range of cutting-edge applications to small molecules, pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, energy materials, and more. It highlights the complementarity of NMR, diffraction, and computational approaches and presents several examples where complete structure solutions are only possible via this synergy.

Striking a balance between appealing to NMR experts and those outside the field, it will appeal to practitioners of diffraction-based crystallography and computational and theoretical chemists.
