Vol. 1979. 351 pages.
The literature coverage in Volume 8 extends from Sune 1977 to May 1 based on the Chemical Abstracts selected listing, “NMR-Chemical Aspec There has been some rearrangement of content compared to Volume 7. Thus “Experimental Techniques” has given way, with corresponding expansion of the chapters on Multiple Resonance and the Solid State, areas including the principal present-day developments in methodology. A new chapter in Conformational Analysis has been introduced, replacing the previous coverage of Intermolecular Effects. One chapter describes spectra of molecules oriented in liquid crystals and separate coverage is given to spectra of liquid crystals themselves along with micellar solutions. When the sections involved are primarily summaries of references, there is not much overlap between the two areas, although substantive discussions of the two fields could well be combined. It is evidently the intention to cover the two areas every second year, alternaG with the coverage of Heterogeneous Systems, which last appeared in Volume Although the space available to the reporters for comments becomes more limited in successive volumes, these comments and the tabulations of relate data from various sources continue to be invaluable, as does the listing of review papers in the field. The volume continues to uphold the high standards of its predecessors and constitutes an excellent guide to the NMR literature.
