ACD’s Interactive Web Laboratory
| Advantages: |
Draw structure to get predicted spectral diagram or to predict a number of
physical properties (e.g. mp, bp, pKa) |
| Other Info.: |
ACD/ILab Cheatsheet is available. |
| Physical Location: |
Stanford has a site license. Visit
ACD's Interactive Laboratory. |
| Advantages: |
Contains selected peak data and many citations to spectral data. |
| Physical Location: |
Available on networked PCs in the Meyer Computer Cluster and in the Swain
Library. It is also possible to download the Crossfire client software to
your workstation. See
Swain's Beilstein and Gmelin Crossfire Page
for instructions. Manuals are on Reserve in Swain Library and via the web from
Beilstein (choose
products, select Crossfire, and then scroll down to bottom of
screen for list of user aids and manuals) |
Cheronis / Semimicro Qualitative Organic Analysis: the Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Contains information on derivative syntheses and deriv. data for a small
number of compounds. |
| Physical Location: |
In Swain Reference (1965 ed.)
[QD272.M5 C43 1965] and on Reserve
(1983 ed.). |
| Advantages: |
Web edition's ADVANCED SEARCH performs physical constant (boiling point,
melting point, molecular weight, refractive index) and substance (CAS
registry number, molecular formula, name) searching. Structures of most
compounds are available for display. Table results can be sorted by
clicking on column headers. In print version, different editions may
contain different entries. Latest edition has CAS Registry Numbers for
most compounds. |
| Disadvantages: |
May not always contain all common isomers. Structure searching is unavailable. |
| Physical Location: |
CRC HCP web version
available to Stanford users, and print available in Swain
Reference [See CRC shelf] and on Reserve. |
| Advantages |
This single volume contains lists of compounds segregated by functional
groups listed in order of increasing m.p. or b.p. |
| Disadvantages: |
Contains a relatively small number of compounds. |
| Other Information: |
Also contains a helpful NMR-shift table. |
| Physical Location: |
CRC HTOCI web version
available to Stanford users, and print available in Swain
Reference [QD291 .R28 1967] and on
Reserve. |
Criddle / Spectral & Chemical Characterization of Organic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Contains information on derivative syntheses. Also contains derivative
data for a small number of compounds. |
| Physical Location: |
In Swain Reference [QD271.4 .C73 1990] and on Reserve. |
| Advantages: |
Contains melting/boiling point data along with references for derivatives.
Includes many common derivatives and selected references to journals. |
| Physical Location: |
Web version of CCD
available to Stanford users, and print version is available in Swain Reference
[QD251 .H45 1996 V.1-9]. Manuals
for the CD-ROM version are available at the Reserve Desk in Swain
Library. |
Feinstein / Guide to Spectroscopic Identification of Organic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Excellent source that provides instructions on how to interpret spectra. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library. |
| Advantages: |
Tutorial to help you become proficient in interpreting spectral data. |
| Disadvantages: |
Runs only on Mac workstations that are connected to the campus network. |
| Physical Location: |
Available via Residential Computing Server. See
Accessing Selected Macintosh Software via a Server
for copying instructions. |
Memory / NMR of Aromatic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Contains thorough tables of NMR shifting and coupling data for many
aromatics, especially aromatics containing nitrogen. Chapter 3, pgs.
42-43, 55-57, and Chapter 5, pgs. 147-154 are very useful. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library. |
| Advantages: |
Contains more extensive physical description of sources. Includes derivs. |
| Physical Location: |
Web version of Merck Index
available to Stanford users, and print version is available in
Swain Reference [See CRC Shelf] and on Reserve. |
Organic Chemist's Desk Reference
| Advantages: |
Chapter 17 covers basics for interpreting spectral data. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library. |
Names, Synonyms, & Structures of Organic Compounds: A CRC Reference Handbook
| Advantages: |
Excellent source to find synonyms and structures of compounds. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library QD291 .N36 1995 V.1-3. |
Pasto / Organic Structure Determination
| Advantages: |
Provides many qualitative tests for unknown functionality and some
general procedures on derivatives. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library. |
Pavia / Introduction to Spectroscopy
| Advantages: |
Required text for the course. |
| Physical Location: |
On reserve in the Swain Library. |
| Advantages: |
Contains property, structures, and spectra peak data for compounds. |
| Physical Location: |
Web version of POC
available to Stanford users. Manuals for the CD-ROM version are available at the Swain
Reserve Desk. |
Shriner / The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Contains many derivative procedures as well as derivative data. Also
provides many qualitative tests for unknown functionality. |
| Physical Location: |
In Swain Reference [QD261 .S965 1998]
and on Reserve. |
Silverstein / Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds
| Advantages: |
Great alternative spectroscopy text. Unlike Pavia, includes NMR data
for complex aromatics, heterocyclics, and hetero-aromatics. Pages 207-222
are especially helpful. |
| Physical Location: |
