In this introductory chapter are described briefly the aims and scopes of this multiauthor book. One of the main ideas behind them is helping its readership to understand some approaches for extracting information on subtle chemical interactions, defining trends of such parameters from either measured or calculated high-resolution NMR parameters (indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants and nuclear magnetic shielding constant) without needing to acquire solid backgrounds on quantum chemistry. However, in all cases, the discussed ideas are based on solid grounds, and adequate references are quoted for readers interested in a better understanding of the basic concepts lying behind such approaches. It is highlighted that such discussions are restricted only to a few methods in order to both avoid overlapping this book with descriptions found in the current literature and to avoid lengthening this book beyond reasonable limits. It was also considered pertinent to include chapters dealing with concepts whose importance are increasing rapidly in modern NMR spectroscopy like for instance, relativistic effects on NMR parameters in compounds containing heavy atoms, and NMR spectroscopy in paramagnetic species, pNMR. Also, it was considered opportune including in this book excellent examples showing how very good excellent sets of experimental values can provide interesting insight in some chemical interactions. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
