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.
