This review covers the published literature from July 1983 to August 1985 although some citations of other work are also included. As noted in earlier reviews it is impossible to summarize 2 years of NMR literature in so short a space. However, it is hoped that the books, reviews, and various citations will be a useful guide to the reader. The publication Spectroscopy (PO Box 50, Springfield, OR 97477; H. W. Lafferty, Ed.) has recently commenced and promises to be of interest and utility in various areas of spectroscopy, including NMR. Noninvasive Medical Imaging, an international journal published by Verlag Chemie GmbH (Federal Republic of Germany) and Reviews of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine published by Pergamon Press cover specialized application of NMR. The American Chemical Society has introduced an audiocassette course on Fourier Transform NMR Spectroscopy. An extensive C13 NMR Data Base has been made available by Science Information Services, Inc., Larchmont, NY, and City Software, Milwaukee, WI has introduced The NMR Simulator for the IBM PC. 342 references, 2 tables.
