Spectroscopic Methods In Organic Chemistry 6th Ed.

Description:
'Spectroscopic Method in Organic Chemistry' is a well established introductory guide to the interpretation of ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra of organic compounds. It can be used as a textbook for a first course in the application of these techniques to structure determination, as well as a handbook for synthetic organic chemists.Updates to the new edition are as follows: structure - the same structure will be retained in this new edition. There will be five chapters - UV, IR, NMR and MS, followed by examples and problems. The new edition content: The first four chapters have been completely rewritten to reflect changes that have taken place since the current edition published. Key changes include: coverage of UV and IR Spectra is more concise; coverage of NMR has been expanded; coverage of MS has been made more relevant to the everyday application of this technique; IR Chapter has been restructured so that the spectra are displayed where they are being discussed, rather than at the end of the chapter; and, examples. All 60 MHz spectra have been replaced with new examples at 400 MHz or more.
