Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and widely used techniques in chemical research for investigating structures and dynamics of molecules. Advanced methods can even be utilized for structure determinations of biopolymers, for example proteins or nucleic acids. NMR is also used in medicine for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method is based on spectral lines of different atomic nuclei that are excited when a strong magnetic field and a radiofrequency transmitter are applied. The method is very sensitive to the features of molecular structure because also the neighboring atoms influence the signals from individual nuclei and this is important for determining the 3D-structure of molecules. This new edition of the popular classic has a clear style and a highly practical, mostly non-mathematical approach. Many examples are taken from organic and organometallic chemistry, making this book an invaluable guide to undergraduate and graduate students of organic chemistry, biochemistry, spectroscopy or physical chemistry, and to researchers using this well-established and extremely important technique. Problems and solutions are included.
Though the format evolved in the first edition remains intact, relevant new additions have been inserted at appropriate places in various chapters of the book. Also included are a number of sample and study problems at the end of each chapter to illustrate the approach to problem solving that involve translations of sets of spectra into chemical structures. Written primarily to stimulate the interest of students in spectroscopy and make them aware of the latest developments in this field, this book begins with a general introduction to electromagnetic radiation and molecular spectroscopy. In addition to the usual topics on IR, UV, NMR and Mass spectrometry, it includes substantial material on the currently useful techniques such as FT-IR, FT-NMR 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, GC/MS, FAB/MS, Tendem and Negative Ion Mass Spectrometry for students engaged in advanced studies. Finally it gives a detailed account on Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD) and Circular Dichroism (CD).
Appropriate for courses in organic spectroscopy or organic spectroscopic techniques in senior undergraduate and graduate programs. This text authoritatively covers currently used techniques for determining the structure of organic and biological compounds ideal for any practicing or future organic or biochemist. The fundamentals of all four principal spectroscopic methods are covered in depth, each by an experienced author who is a practicing expert in that area. The material is easy to grasp, beginning at the most elementary level and progressing to the level required for organic research. Highlights include the most thorough and current treatment of NMR available, ample problem material, and two new chapters devoted to multiple pulse and two-dimensional methods.
This Book Is Especially Designed According To The Model Curriculum Of M.Sc. (Prev.) (Pericyclic Reactions) And M.Sc. (Final) (Photochemistry Compulsory Paper Viii) Suggested By The University Grants Commission, New Delhi. As Far As The Ugc Model Curriculum Is Concerned, Most Of The Indian Universities Have Already Adopted It And The Others Are In The Process Of Adopting The Proposed Curriculum. In The Present Academic Scenario, We Strongly Felt That A Comprehensive Book Covering Modern Topics Like Pericyclic Reactions And Photochemistry Of The Ugc Model Curriculum Was Urgently Needed. This Book Is A Fruitful Outcome Of Our Aforesaid Strong Feeling. Besides M.Sc. Students, This Book Will Also Be Very Useful To Those Students Who Are Preparing For The Net (Csir), Slet, Ias, Pcs And Other Competitive Examinations.The Subject Matter Has Been Presented In A Comprehensive, Lucid And Systematic Manner Which Is Easy To Understand Even By Self Study. The Authors Believe That Learning By Solving Problems Gives More Competence And Confidence In The Subject. Keeping This In View, Sufficiently Large Number Of Varied Problems For Self Assessment Are Given In Each Chapter. Hundred Plus Problems With Solutions In The Last Chapter Is An Important Feature Of This Book.
Offers a realistic approach to solving problems used by organic chemists. Covering all the major spectroscopic techniques, it provides a graded set of problems that develop and consolidate students' understanding of organic spectroscopy. This edition contains more elementary problems and a modern approach to NMR spectra.
Organic Spectroscopy presents the derivation of structural information from UV, IR, Raman, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Mass and ESR spectral data in such a way that stimulates interest of students and researchers alike. The application of spectroscopy for structure determination and analysis has seen phenomenal growth and is now an integral part of Organic Chemistry courses. This book provides: -A logical, comprehensive, lucid and accurate presentation, thus making it easy to understand even through self-study; -Theoretical aspects of spectral techniques necessary for the interpretation of spectra; -Salient features of instrumentation involved in spectroscopic methods; -Useful spectral data in the form of tables, charts and figures; -Examples of spectra to familiarize the reader; -Many varied problems to help build competence ad confidence; -A separate chapter on ‘spectroscopic solutions of structural problems’ to emphasize the utility of spectroscopy. Organic Spectroscopy is an invaluable reference for the interpretation of various spectra. It can be used as a basic text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of spectroscopy as well as a practical resource by research chemists. The book will be of interest to chemists and analysts in academia and industry, especially those engaged in the synthesis and analysis of organic compounds including drugs, drug intermediates, agrochemicals, polymers and dyes.
