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

First Sentence
The concept of mass spectrometry is relatively simple: A compound is ionized (ionization method), the ions are separated on the basis of their mass/charge ratio (ion separation method), and the number of ions representing each mass/charge "unit" is recorded as a spectrum. Read the first page

This book is definately a good one to buy for a great overall understanding of the many different types of spectroscopy.It covers the most common, including the more complex NMR techniques and gives plenty of examples to use your new interpretation skills on.The examples in Chapter 9 give a you a chance to put together all the techniques introduced to deduce increasingly more complicated structures.Each chapter contains incredibly useful appendices that contain all the practical information you need making it great for quick referal whether in a lab situation or in a more learning one.

Excellent excercises...
12 Mar 2006
By L. Estrada
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
It's an OK book if you are a novice in the Spectroscopy determination area, but a very nice book if it's going to be used as a reference book. It's very handy and explains the principles of the Spectroscopic and Spectrometric determinations in a very understandable way. Moreover, the excercises are challenging, making this book and excellent tool for those students interested in learning how to determine structures out of some spectra, although the spectra sometimes are so clean that they don't correspond with the one's that are taken by routine. The weak points of this book are the IR chapter and the lack of a UV chapter explaining various useful techniques for structural determination such as ORD and CD. The NMR section is just OK, but there are more details to be explained in the 2-D NMR NOESY, TOCSY and ROESY. I think the Mass Chapters are the best that any single book has offered to me so far to understand quite easily how powerful is the GCMS as a tool for the Structural Determination of Organic Compounds.

Reference vs. Teaching Material
5 Mar 2005
By K. M. Gehrke
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book has wonderful charts and tables for quick referencing, however it is sorely lacking in demonstrations and worked out examples for students new to the subject. The chapters are painfully slow and complex when explaining the theory behind the spectrometric methods and effects on classes of molecules. In short, don't use this book to learn the material unless you already know it. It is a comprehensive reference, but not an effective textbook to teach from.

Great material, regular text...
16 July 2001
By Carlos Valdez
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The book is subdivided into only 3 of the 4 classical methods for spectrometric identification of compounds: IR, MS, and finally NMR (covering 1H, 13C and very little of 19F and 31P). UV is left out in this edition, so maybe getting a hold of the old edition's UV chapter (which is extremely well-written) might be desired. The MS and the IR chapters are also well-written and explained out. It is in the main technique (NMR) that the author fails to deliver the subject in a straightforward manner and lacks what I think is most important in this field: a large number of exercises and problems.
