Mass Spectrometry -- Vibrational Spectroscopy.- Electron Absorption Spectroscopy -- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) -- Molecular Structure Determination by Means of Combined Application Methods -- Tables.

Taking a problem-based approach, the authors provide a practice-oriented and systematic introduction to both organic and inorganic structure determination by spectroscopic methods. This includes mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopies, UV/VIS spectroscopy and NMR as well as applying combinations of these methods. The authors show how to elucidate chemical structures with a minimal number of spectroscopic techniques. Readers can train their skills by more than 400 problems with varying degree of sophistication. Interactive Powerpoint-Charts are available as Extra Materials to support self-study.
