Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds

by Francis X Webster, David Kiemle, Robert M. Silverstein, et al.

Book Overview

Teaches the use of the complementary information afforded by four types of spectrometry for identification of organic compounds: mass, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultra violet spectrometry. Throughout, the emphasis is on the relationship between chemical structure and spectral response of the molecule. Each chapter includes problems to facilitate student comprehension and demonstrate practical aspects of the material. Also provided are...

Customer Reviews

Excellent excercises...

It's an OK book if you are a novice in the Spectroscopy determination area, but a very nice book if it's going to be used as a reference book. It's very handy and explains the principles of the Spectroscopic and Spectrometric determinations in a very understandable way. Moreover, the excercises are challenging, making this book and excellent tool for those students interested in learning how to determine structures out of some spectra, although the spectra sometimes are so clean that they don't correspond with the one's that are taken by routine. The weak points of this book are the IR chapter and the lack of a UV chapter explaining various useful techniques for structural determination such as ORD and CD. The NMR section is just OK, but there are more details to be explained in the 2-D NMR NOESY, TOCSY and ROESY. I think the Mass Chapters are the best that any single book has offered to me so far to understand quite easily how powerful is the GCMS as a tool for the Structural Determination of Organic Compounds.

Sixth edition is what is available now and is excellent.

Wiley says this seventh edition is due out October 2004.

An Important book

This book provide a the basis of the fundamentals of Spectroscopy in many fields (IR, HNMR, CNMR, DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HMQC, TOCSY, MS, and much more) It has many real problems in an special chapter. And the most important, it has a lot of important tables and spectrums.
