Organic structures from spectra

Field, L. D. (author.). Li, H.L. (author.). Magill, A.M. (author.).

Summary: "The derivation of structural information from spectroscopic data is now an integral part of organic chemistry courses at all Universities. A critical part of any such course is a suitable set of problems to develop the students' understanding of how organic structures are determined from spectra. The book builds on the very successful teaching philosophy of learning by hands-on problem solving; carefully graded examples build confidence and develop and consolidate a student's understanding of organic spectroscopy." -- publisher's website
