Product Description
This book is a logical, step-by-step guide to identification of organic compounds by mass spectrometry. The book is organized into chapters covering the major types of organic compounds, including alcohols, acids and esters, aldehydes and ketones, ethers, hydrocarbons, halogenated compounds, amines and amides, and sulfur-containing compounds. In each chapter, the mechanisms of the major fragmentation pathways are discussed, with reference to several simple sample compounds. By teaching the user to recognize typical fragmentations, the book removes the need to search databases, often limited, of electronic spectra. Key features of the book include: * 200 representative spectra of common organic compounds * Functional group approach to mass spectra interpretation * Appendix of 'unknown' spectra with step-by-step guide to identification This book is a must for anyone who needs to identify organic molecules by mass spectrometry but does not need to know the detailed workings of a mass spectrometer. |

Mass Spectral Interpretation by Ian Murray (Philadelphia)  5 Stars
August 26, 2003
Terrence Lee's book title, "A beginners guide to Mass Spectral Interpretation" is quite accurate. It is an excellent source of information for the mass spec novice. It is well written and he also stresses pitfalls students routinely make in analysis. I would recommend this book to any beginner,(undergraduate, graduate or whomever), it makes climbing the learning curve easier. Three thumbs up!.

| Interpretation of Mass Spectra
by Fred W. McLafferty (Author), Turecek (Author)
Extensively revised and updated, this new edition, as in previous editions, emphasizes the point that the most important part of learning how to interpret unknown mass spectra is to practice interpreting mass spectra. The book aims at correlating ion dissociation mecanisms on a much broader scale, with the emphasis on basic attributes such as ionization energies, proton affinities and bond dissociation energies. The authors also tried to show how these mechanisms are applicable to the...
