Spectroscopic Techniques for Organic Chemists

Serves as an introductory textbook in the identification of organic compounds by spectroscopic means. Covers the usual techniques of infrared (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H nmr) ultraviolet and mass spectroscopy with over 230 actual spectra included in the examples and worked-out problems. Covers the increasingly common techniques of carbon-13 nmr and Fourier transform nmr methods in a simple, non-mathematical way. Also discusses computer methods of iterating theoretical nmr spectra for a best fit with experimental ones using the popular LACOON III program in a conversational timesharing version.
