Deals with the practical aspects of the interpretations of the three most common types of spectral data the organic chemist meets with: ultraviolet, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Discusses only relevant theoretical aspects of the spectral methods to make the interpretation of the spectra meaningful. Contains approximately seventy reproductions of actual spectra, not retouched, so that the reader will know just what exactly does such a spectrum look like. Problems appear at the end of each chapter which emphasize the utility of these spectral methods in the identification of an organic compound.
