Information Resources
- Combined Spectra Problems
- Dr. Merlic's (UCLA) NMR page I highly recommend this page. Good explanation of IR and NMR plus a large number of practice problems from simple to difficult.
- Organic Structure Elucidation Page Provides a number of combined spectroscopy problems (IR, H NMR, C NMR, and MS) from easy to difficult.
- NMR
- Structure Elucidation by NMR in Organic Chemistry Book available electronically from Wiley.
- NMR Knowldege Base Directory of links to all things related to NMR on the web.
- Proton NMR Interpretation tool Another really cool site. This requires a shockwave plug in, but it allows you to predict NMR spectra and check your answer.
- Basics of NMR A good background on the physics and math of NMR transitions as well as the nuts and bolts of the NMR experiment.
- Chem Tutor A tutorial program to help students predict proton and carbon chemical shifts. This is a downloadable program for PC's only.
- NMR Periodic Table Provides spin, abundance, sensitivity and other NMR relevant parameters for all elements
- NMR meets Musicans A fun and educational site. The response of an NMR is in the hearing range for humans, and can be used to make music.
- IR
- IR Web Resources Links to IR resources online.
- Basic Infrared Spectroscopy Tutorial and problems from Dr. Paul Young, University of Illinois, Chicago
- Vibrational Mode Animations Animations of vibrational modes in a number of organic molecules.
- Mass Spectrometry
- i-Mass web directory for the mass spectrometry community
- Spectroscopy Directories and Databases
- Spectral Database System for Organic Compounds A large database of NMR, IR, MS, and Raman spectra of organic and organometallic compounds.
- NIST Chemistry Web Book database of physical data for thousands of compounds, including IR, MS, and UV-Vis spectra.
- Los Alamos Web Links Provides links to various spectroscopy resources.
- Spectroscopic Tools Wizards for calculations of 1H and 13C NMR, IR, or MS peaks
NMR Processing
Both of the programs below are freeware that can be used by anyone at no cost. Each program is relatively easy to use and come with necessary manuals. You will need to use one of these programs to process raw data taken on the Bruker spectrometer during the semester.
