Mass Spectrometry: Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning

By Reg Davis

Book Overview

Mass spectrometry has undergone a great deal of development as an empirical subject and many useful approaches to the analysis and identification of organic molecules have been developed without a detailed understanding of theory of ion behaviour. This is also the way in which the subject is usually approached and it is the tack adopted here. That does not mean to say that an understanding of ion behaviour is not important - it is, but that understanding is still being developed and this book is designed for those wishing to use mass spectrometry now.

Excellent teaching tool

This book is great! If you don't have access to college courses or the time to take them then this is a book for you. This book is clearly written and its exercises guide you through properly interpreting mass spectra. The first edition of this book is also excellent. If you compare this book to McLafferty's (Interpretation of Mass Spectra) this is much more effective for teaching the beginner. I highly recommend this book
