This book provides an introduction to the use of spectroscopic techniques—ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry—in determining the structure of organic compounds. It is designed as both a textbook for students and a reference for researchers in organic chemistry.
This book concentrates on the practical aspects of using spectroscopic techniques to solve structural problems. It is written at a level for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in applied spectroscopy. It describes the uses of the four spectroscopic methods: UV, IR, NMR and Mass Spectra in organic chemistry.
