Introduction to Spectroscopy

Introduction to spectroscopy [computer file]: IR, NMR, CMR, mass spec / author, Fred W. Clough. (Version 2.0. Campton, NH: Trinity Software, c1994.).

IR, PNMR, C-13, and Mass Spectroscopy are integral parts of the traditional sophomore level organic chemistry course. Introduction to Spectroscopy was designed as a supplement to help students review and master the basic principles of these types of spectroscopy, reinforcing and/or complementing their classroom lectures and textbook coverage. The programs present a logical strategy for interpreting each type of spectra and provide reviews, tutorials, and quizzes students can use for self-evaluation.

The spectra used in these programs are hypothetical, idealized spectra of real compounds.
