Challenges in Molecular Structure Determination

Using a problem-based approach, this book provides a practice-oriented and systematic introduction to both organic and inorganic structure determination by spectroscopic methods. Includes 400 problems with varying degree of sophistication.

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.
