Organic Electronic Spectral Data: v. 24

In 1956 a cooperative effort to abstract and publish in formula order all the ultraviolet-visible spectra of organic compounds presented in the journal literature was organized through the enterprise and leadership of M.J. Damlet and X.E. Ungnade. Organic Electronic Spectral Data was incorporated in 1957 to create a formal structure for the venture, and coverage of the literature from 1946 onward was then carried out by chemists with special interests in spectrophotometry through a page-by-page search of the major chemical journals. Altogether more than fifty chemists have searched a group of journals totalling more than one hundred titles during the course of this sustained project. The book is aimed at organic chemists working with spectroscopy, both in academia and industry.
