Nuclear and Electron Relaxation: The Magnetic Nucleus-Unpaired Electron Coupling in Solution

by Ivano Bertini, Lucia Banci, Claudio Luchinat

This book deals with spin relaxation by underlying the similarities between nuclear and electron spins, and provides a clear and unified picture of the behavior of spins in magnetic resonance. It is especially 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 behavior of transition metal complexes, metal clusters and metalloproteins. The complete theory of contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging is also presented. The book is a unique and valuable guide for anyone working with paramagnetic systems, from physical and inorganic chemists to biophysicists.
