Spectroscopic Methods in Organic Chemistry

This book is the seventh edition of a well-established introductory guide to the interpretation of the mass, ultraviolet, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of organic compounds.It is a textbook suitable for a course in the application of these techniques to structure determination and as a handbook for organic chemists to keep on their desks throughout their career.These four spectroscopic methods are used routinely to determine the structure of organic compounds.Every organic chemist needs to be skilled in how to apply them and to know which method works for which problem.In outline, the mass spectrum gives the molecular formula, the ultraviolet spectrum identifies conjugated systems, the…
