Spectroscopic Methods In Organic Chemistry

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.

Boost your knowledge of modern spectroscopic methods! This reference work provides you with essential knowledge for the application of modern spectroscopic methods in organic chemistry. All methods are explained based on typical practical examples, theoretical aspects, and applications. The following spectroscopic methods are explained and examples are given: UV/Vis Spectroscopy Infrared (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) Mass Spectrometry (MS) The textbook has been a standard reference for decades. As it conveys necessary knowledge for examinations at all universities it is compulsory reading for every organic chemistry student!

This book is a well-established guide to the interpretation of the mass, ultraviolet, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of organic compounds. It is designed for students of organic chemistry taking a course in the application of these techniques to structure determination. The text also remains useful as a source of data for organic chemists to keep on their desks throughout their career. In the seventh edition, substantial portions of the text have been revised reflecting knowledge gained during the author's teaching experience over the last seven years. The chapter on NMR has been divided into two separate chapters covering the 1D and 2D experiments. The discussion is also expanded to include accounts of the physics at a relatively simple level, following the development of the magnetization vectors as each pulse sequence is introduced. The emphasis on the uses of NMR spectroscopy in structure determination is retained. Worked examples and problem sets are included on a chapter level to allow students to practise their skills by determining the chemical structures of unknown compounds.

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.

"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.

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.
