A Beginners Guide to Mass Spectral InterpretationT.A. LEE, Middle Tennesee State University, USA
Bestseller!
This is the first book to be dedicated solely to the interpretation of electron impact mass spectra. Organised into chapters covering the major types of organic compounds, this title provides a step-by-step guide to identification of organic compounds by mass spectrometry. In each chapter the mechanisms of the major fragmentation pathways are discussed, with reference to several simple sample compounds. By teaching the user to recognize typical fragmentations, the book removes the need to search databases with often limited electronic spectra.Key features of the book include:
- 200 representative spectra of common organic compounds
- Functional group approach to mass spectra interpretation
- Appendix of ‘unknown’ spectra with step-by step-guide to identification
