MANN1 IntroductionThis year has been marked by the welcome appearance of a Specialist Periodical Report devoted to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Consequently, the terms of reference of the present Report have been modified to include only inorganic and organometallic compounds, and many developments in instrumentation and techniques have been omitted. In spite of this, the number of references abstracted have increased yet again. In order to reduce the volume of the Report, tables have been incorporated into the text. The use of the Chemical Society's n.m.r. Macroprofile (UKCIS) has been changed. All 1972 references obtained via this Macroprofile have been incorporated into the text and only 1971 references which were not discussed in last year's Report are included in the bibliography (pp. 148 153).As would be expected, 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy continues to provide most of the information reported here. However, interest in other nuclei has been widespread and includes 2H, 7Li, 11B, 13C, 14N, 15N, 17O, 19F, 23Na, 25Mg, 27Al, 29Si, 31P, 33S, 35Cl, 37Cl, 39K, 49Ti, 49Ti, 51V, 55Mn, 57Fe, 59Co, 63Cu, 69Ga, 71Ga, 75As, 77Se, 79Br, 81Br, 85Rb, 93Nb, 105Pd, 119Sn, 129Xe, 133Cs, 187Re, Hg, and 201Hg.The flood of relevant books and reviews has continued. It has proved necessary to split Volume 5 of 'Annual Reports on N.M.R. Spectroscopy' into at least two parts, with Part A occupying 696 pages. Volume 5A contains chapters on 'General review of proton magnetic resonance' by T. N. Huckerby, 'Fluorine19 N.M.R. spectroscopy' by R. Fields, 'N.M.R. spectroscopy in the study of carbohydrates and related compounds' by T. D. Inch, 'Heteronuclear magnetic double resonance' by W. McFarlane, 'Nitrogen N.M.R. spectroscopy' by G. A. Webb and M. Witanowski, 'N.M.R. spectroscopy in liquids containing compounds of aluminium and gallium' by J. W. Akitt, and 'The application of Fourier transformation to high resolution N.M.R. spectroscopy' by D. G. Gilles and D. Shaw. 'Advances in Magnetic Resonance' has continued with the publication of Volume 5, which contains chapters on 'PulsedFouriertransform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer' by A. G. Redfield and R. K. Gupta, 'Spectrometers for multiplepulse N.M.R.' by J. D. Ellett, jun., M. G. Gibby, U. Haeberlen, L. M. Huber, M. Mehring, A. Pines, and J. S. Waugh, 'N.M.R. and ultraslow motions' by D. C. Ailion, and 'N.M.R. in heliumthree' by M. G. Richards.One volume of a new series of books has been devoted to magnetic resonance and contains chapters on 'Nuclear spin relaxation in gases' by M. Bloom, 'N.M.R. studies of molecular motion in solids' by P. S. Allen, 'Carbon13 nuclear spin relaxation' by J. R. Lyerla, jun. and D. M. Grant, and 'N.M.R. and E.S.R. in liquid crystals' by J. Bulthuis, C. W. Hilbers, and C. MacLean.A number of books devoted to aspects of n.m.r. spectroscopy have been published, including 'The Sadtler Guide to N.M.R. Spectra' by W. W. Simons and M. Zanger, 'Magn
