The fifth edition of this well-regarded introductory text explores major modern spectroscopic techniques through 300 structural problems demonstrating to students how structures are determined from spectra. These carefully selected problems cover ultraviolet, infrared, mass, and NMR spectroscopy, and specifically exemplify the use of 2D-NMR spectroscopy, the interpretation of spin-spin coupling in proton NMR spectra, and the qualitative analysis mixtures using proton and carbon NMR spectroscopy.
This new edition also incorporates many examples from organometallic chemistry and includes more examples of molecules containing the common heteronuclei (19F, 31P and 2H).
