Understanding Mass Spectra: A Basic Approach, Second Edition combines coverage of the principles underlying mass spectral analysis with clear guidelines on how to apply them in a laboratory setting. Completely revised from the first edition, an updated and unified approach to mass spectral interpretation emphasizes the application of basic principles from undergraduate organic, analytical, and physical chemistry courses.
A detailed overview of theory and instrumentation, this useful guide contains step-by-step descriptions of interpretative strategies and convenient lists and tables detailing the information needed to solve unknowns. Other features include real-world case studies and examples, skill-building problems with clearly explained answers, and easy-to-follow explanations of the important mathematical derivations.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...the author manages to go well beyond the obvious and expected explanations...[to provide] a set of guidelines to follow for successful spectral interpretation." (Journal of Chemical Education, May 2005) "Smith does an excellent job of taking readers through a myriad of basic concepts and tying them all together to develop useful skills for spectral interpretation." (CHOICE, February 2005)
"This book would do well to serve as a basis for an upper level undergraduate or graduate course..." (Journal of Natural Products, February 2005)
