Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds 8 ed.
Robert M. Silverstein, Francis X. Webster, David J.This problem-solving textbook, known as “Silverstein” to many of its generations of readers, has been a popular and very useful resource for students and instructors over the past 50 years. The book presents a unified approach to the structural determination of organic compounds based largely on mass spectrometry (MS), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and multinuclear and multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We are very pleased to present the newly revised eighth edition. The strengths for which Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds is known are preserved and updated. Such strengths include the pragmatic approach to problem solving and the wealth of useful NMR and mass spectrometric data available in tabular form. Some of the more important revisions to this edition of the book are briefly detailed below
