The best undergraduate book for spectroscopy.
|
|
The aim of this book is to explain different methods of spectroscopy, from how they work to how to read the spectra. It goes through IR, H and C NMR, UV and so on. Many consider this to be the best book on spectroscopy and it has earned itself quite a reputation. It's also useful for postgraduates because it's more than just a teaching aid; it has many tables inside outlining where you might find that IR peak for a particular functional group or what the chemical shift of something is. On the other hand, if you want a reference text and that's all then there are probably better books than this. I gave this book 4 stars and not 5 mainly because it lies somewhere between a teaching aid and a reference text and despite it being very useful and worth getting, it excells at neither. I'd recommend it.
