Applications of Mass Spectrometry to Organic Stereochemistry

Mass spectrometry includes a broad range of techniques that allow one to probe the detailed structures of molecules in a variety of ways. Mass spectrometry is more than a century old but new techniques are being developed continuously, with the pace of innovation accelerating as new and costly instrumentation is being developed. This book allows mass spectrometrists (or mass spectroscopists) to improve their own lab application, for which they will find comparative critical descriptions in this book. The book allows mass spec users to gain a comprehensive grasp of mass spec techniques and their applications to structure determination. It is addressed to organic chemists in university and industrial laboratories everywhere, who use or plan to use mass spectrometric techniques in their work on structure or organic and biological molecules.
