INTERPRETING SPECTRA

The CRC Handbook of Fundamental Spectroscopic Correlation Charts presents spectroscopic information in a graphical format that corresponds to the tabular arrangement found in the CRC Handbook of Basic Tables for Chemical Analysis. The 224-page resource provides analysis and assignment of spectra and structural information on organic and organometallic molecules. Compiled from a search of the spectroscopic literature, the charts contain detailed information, including updated results for many compounds. Correlation charts for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectrophotometry are included. Indexes and references are provided. Thomas J. Bruno and Paris D.N.
