An Introduction to Spectroscopic Methods for the Identification of Organic Compounds, Volume 2 covers the theoretical aspects and some applications of certain spectroscopic methods for organic compound identification. This book is composed of 10 chapters, and begins with an introduction to the structure determination from mass spectra. The subsequent chapter presents some mass spectrometry seminar problems and answers. This presentation is followed by discussions on the problems concerning the application of UV spectroscopy and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Other chapters deal with some advances and development in NMR spectroscopy and the elucidation of structural formula of organic compounds by a combination of spectral methods. The final chapter surveys seminar problems and answers in the identification of organic compounds using NMR, IR, UV and mass spectroscopy. This book will prove useful to organic and analytical chemists.
Although numerical data are, in principle, universal, the compilations presented in this book are extensively annotated and interleaved with text. This translation of the second German edition has been prepared to facilitate the use of this work, with all its valuable detail, by the large community of English-speaking scientists. Translation has also provided an opportunity to correct and revise the text, and to update the nomenclature. Fortunately, spectroscopic data and their relationship with structure do not change much with time so one can predict that this book will, for a long period of time, continue to be very useful to organic chemists involved in the identification of organic compounds or the elucidation of their structure. Klaus Biemann Cambridge, MA, April 1983 Preface to the First German Edition Making use of the information provided by various spectroscopic tech niques has become a matter of routine for the analytically oriented organic chemist. Those who have graduated recently received extensive training in these techniques as part of the curriculum while their older colleagues learned to use these methods by necessity. One can, therefore, assume that chemists are well versed in the proper choice of the methods suitable for the solution of a particular problem and to translate the experimental data into structural information.
Originally published in 1962, this was the first book to explore teh identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. It provides a thorough introduction to the three areas of spectrometry most widely used in spectrometric identification: mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A how-to, hands-on teaching manual with considerably expanded NMR coverage--NMR spectra can now be intrepreted in exquisite detail. This book: Uses a problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. Offers an extensive set of real-data problems offers a challenge to the practicing chemist
A unique textbook, aimed at undergraduate students, containing large numbers of spectra, problems and marginal notes, specifically chosen to highlight the points being discussed.
"Spectroscopy has become the organic chemist's most important tool in identifying compounds and studying their interactions. The arsenal of techniques available to the research chemist has, over the years, expanded from the familiar infrared, proton nmr and mass spectroscopy, to include the routine use of carbon-13 nmr spectroscopy and such modern methods of data acquisition as Fourier transform nmr, laser Raman spectroscopy, and UV spectroscopy. This book serves as an introduction to all of the major spectroscopic techniques, using over 200 actual spectra as examples, and providing a substantial number of problems and completely worked-through solutions that demonstrate how spectral techniques are applied to analytical problems. The book represents a significant departure from the scope of general spectroscopy texts. In addition to the usual chapters on infrared, proton nmr and mass spectroscopy, a number of increasingly important techniques have been included for the first time. Chapter 4, for instance, introduces not only the analysis of proton nmr spectra, but also describes iteration of theoretical nmr spectra for a best fit with observed experimental spectra using the popular LAOCOON III program. A complete FORTRAN listing for a conversational pendix I. Chapter 5 presents a non-mathematical description of Fourier transform nmr, including signal averaging, decoupling methods, quadrature detection, and the Fourier transform itself, and Chapter 6 goes on to describe Fourier transform techniques in carbon-13 spectroscopy. Chapter 7 introduces simple Huckel M.O. theory and the SHMO program for calculating the resonance stabilization of various systems, material which lays the groundwork for Chapter 8's discussion of ultraviolet spectroscopy using examples of ways in which energies can be correlated with SHMO parameters. A SHMO timesharing conversational program is listed in Appendix II. Finally, Chapter 10 outlines the organic chemical applications of laser Raman spectroscopy and the functional groups most easily identified using this method. Both organic chemists and graduate and advanced undergraduate students will find in the book's breadth of coverage an ideal introduction to the identification of organic compounds by spectroscopic means."- Publisher.
"Organic Structure Analysis, Second Edition, is the only text that teaches students how to solve structures as they are solved in actual practice. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in organic structure analysis, organic structure identification, and organic spectroscopy, it emphasizes real applications-integrating theory as needed - and introduces students to the latest spectroscopic methods." --Book Jacket.
Although there are a number of books in this field, most of them lack an introduction of comprehensive analysis of MS and IR spectra, and others do not provide up-to-date information like tandem MS. This book fills the gap. The merit of this book is that the author will not only introduce knowledge for analyzing nuclear magnetic resonance spectra including 1H spectra (Chapter 1), 13C spectra (Chapter 2) and 2D NMR spectra (Chapter 3), he also arms readers systemically with knowledge of Mass spectra (including EI MS spectra and MS spectra by using soft ionizations) (Chapter 4) and IR spectra (Chapter 5). In each chapter the author presents very practical application skills by providing various challenging examples. The last chapter (Chapter 6) provides the strategy, skills and methods on how to identify an unknown compound through a combination of spectra. Based on nearly 40 years researching and teaching experience, the author also proposes some original and creative ideas, which are very practical for spectral interpretation.
An Introduction to Spectroscopic Methods for the Identification of Organic Compounds, Volume 1: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Infrared Spectroscopy discusses how spectral data can be translated into the structural formula of organic compounds and provides reference data and revised correlation tables for the initiated. The text describes high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; the applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in organic chemistry; and correlation tables for nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy seminar problems and answers; the theoretical basis of infrared spectroscopy; and the applications of infrared spectroscopy to organic chemistry are also encompassed. The book further tackles infrared spectroscopic problems and answers, as well as correlation tables for infrared spectra.
