Organic Spectroscopic Analysis RSC [Paperback]

This introduction to organic spectroscopic analysis aims to provide the reader with a basic understanding of how nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS) give rise to spectra, and how these spectra can be used to determine the structure of organic molecules. The text aims to lead the reader to an appreciation of the information available from each form of spectroscopy and an ability to use spectroscopic information in the identification of organic compounds. Aimed at undergraduate students, Organic Spectroscopic Analysis is a unique textbook containing large numbers of spectra, problems and marginal notes, specifically chosen to highlight the points being discussed. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.General Principles; Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS); Infrared Spectroscopy (IR); Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR); Mass Spectrometry (MS); Structure Elucidation Using All of the Spectroscopic Information Available; Further Reading and Useful Websites; Answers to Problems; Subject IndexDoes an excellent job of providing the beginning student with an understanding of how different spectroscopic methods can be used to elucidate chemical structures.An excellent addition to the library of undergraduates.A unique textbook, aimed at undergraduate students, containing large numbers of spectra, problems and marginal notes, specifically chosen to highlight the points being discussed.
