Book Description

Originally published in 1962, this was the first book to explore teh identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. It provides a thorough introduction to the three areas of spectrometry most widely used in spectrometric identification: mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A how-to, hands-on teaching manual with considerably expanded NMR coverage--NMR spectra can now be intrepreted in exquisite detail. This book:

4 out of 5 stars Excellent excercises..........2006-03-12

It's an OK book if you are a novice in the Spectroscopy determination area, but a very nice book if it's going to be used as a reference book. It's very handy and explains the principles of the Spectroscopic and Spectrometric determinations in a very understandable way. Moreover, the excercises are challenging, making this book and excellent tool for those students interested in learning how to determine structures out of some spectra, although the spectra sometimes are so clean that they don't correspond with the one's that are taken by routine. The weak points of this book are the IR chapter and the lack of a UV chapter explaining various useful techniques for structural determination such as ORD and CD. The NMR section is just OK, but there are more details to be explained in the 2-D NMR NOESY, TOCSY and ROESY. I think the Mass Chapters are the best that any single book has offered to me so far to understand quite easily how powerful is the GCMS as a tool for the Structural Determination of Organic Compounds.

3 out of 5 stars Reference vs. Teaching Material.......2005-03-05

This book has wonderful charts and tables for quick referencing, however it is sorely lacking in demonstrations and worked out examples for students new to the subject. The chapters are painfully slow and complex when explaining the theory behind the spectrometric methods and effects on classes of molecules. In short, don't use this book to learn the material unless you already know it. It is a comprehensive reference, but not an effective textbook to teach from.

3 out of 5 stars Great material, regular text..........2001-07-17

The book is subdivided into only 3 of the 4 classical methods for spectrometric identification of compounds: IR, MS, and finally NMR (covering 1H, 13C and very little of 19F and 31P). UV is left out in this edition, so maybe getting a hold of the old edition's UV chapter (which is extremely well-written) might be desired. The MS and the IR chapters are also well-written and explained out. It is in the main technique (NMR) that the author fails to deliver the subject in a straightforward manner and lacks what I think is most important in this field: a large number of exercises and problems.

5 out of 5 stars An Important book.......2000-05-10

This book provide a the basis of the fundamentals of Spectroscopy in many fields (IR, HNMR, CNMR, DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HMQC, TOCSY, MS, and much more) It has many real problems in an special chapter. And the most important, it has a lot of important tables and spectrums.

3 out of 5 stars Good in NMR Spectra analysis information, but weak elsewhere.......1999-11-19

This book lacked information in my opinion. Silverstein started a good project but just didn't give enough information about IR interpretation, mass spec, C-13 NMR, etc. He focussed on 2-D NMR a great deal, and I believe that there are much better textbooks on this subject.

    Book Description

    Atom-Photon Interactions: Basic Processes and Applications allows the reader to master various aspects of the physics of the interaction between light and matter. It is devoted to the study of the interactions between photons and atoms in atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, and laser physics. The elementary processes in which photons are emitted, absorbed, scattered, or exchanged between atoms are treated in detail and described using diagrammatic representation. The book presents different theoretical approaches, including:
    * Perturbative methods
    * The resolvent method
    * Use of the master equation
    * The Langevin equation
    * The optical Bloch equations
    * The dressed-atom approach

    Each method is presented in a self-contained manner so that it may be studied independently. Many applications of these approaches to simple and important physical phenomena are given to illustrate the potential and limitations of each method.

    5 out of 5 stars Very useful.......2000-06-26

    Atom Photon Interactions is an excellent text for atomic and optical physics. I refer back to the review material---transition amplitudes, quantum electrodynamic fundamentals, etc--- over and over again. Naturally, these sections are very brief, and the book works best along side Cohen-Tannoudji's more elementary texts Quantum Mechanics and Photons and Atoms, or their equivalents.

    The later chapters are rich in techniques and intuition applicable to atom-trapping, spectroscopy, laser theory, etc. Cohen-Tannoudji covers a lot of material, and manages to link it all to a few basic fundamental principles. The book is extremely well-organized, with bite-sized sections and appendices to each chapter. An excellent collection of exercises with solutions is included in the back. Unfortunately, the text does not prompt the reader to try working these problems at appropriate times (sadly, I didn't realize the exercises were there until I'd been using the book for some time). Like Photons and Atoms, this is primarily a book for theorists; its one weakness, I feel, is that the principles, however clear, never seem connected to the actual numbers that an experimentalist or system designer can relate to.

      Book Description

      Instrumental, especially spectrometric methods are widely used in analytical laboratories for identification and quantitative determination of complex organic systems. The author has shown this in earlier works for polymeric materials of all kind. In this book he describes the application of vibrational (FTIR, UV, Raman) and mass spectrometries and of other instrumental techniques for identification and structure elucidation of plastics additives, e.g., antioxidants, stabilisers, plasticisers, pigments, rubber chemicals. The state of the art is compressed in numerous tables and figures; these also allow the interpretation of spectra. Especially remarkable is a collection of the FTIR spectra of 780 selected additives, together with structures and legends. This book is especially useful for the practitioner in plastics processing and production as well as plastics additives industry for the quality control of educts.

        5 out of 5 stars Protein Sequencing and Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry .......2007-05-18

        Ao ler esse livro pude perceber que existe variadas técnicas que auxiliam na interpretação dos espectros de massas. A obra descreve os métodos de ionização e a formação dos íons moleculares e quasi-moleculares em cada um desses métodos. O livro tras a interpretação da distribuição de isótopos nas amostras, a identificação dos "parent ions", "base piks" e a distribuição das cargas durante a interpretação dos espectros. A interpretação de sequências de aminoácidos durante a análise de peptídios é rica em dicas, tabelas e exercícios resolvidos. De forma clara é possível entender a lógica por tras da formação das séries de íons A, B, C, X, Y e Z tão importantes durante a identificação da estrutura primária dos peptídeos. Se você pretende trabalhar com a identidficação de compostos de origem protéica utilizando espectrometria de massas, esse deverá ser seu livro de cabeceira!

        5 out of 5 stars Broad, thorough introduction.......2003-11-04

        I'm not a bench chemist, but I needed a quick survey of how mass spectroscopy is used in handling proteins and other big biomolecules. This book was it.

        Although brief, it is thorough and well-organized. The first two chapters are mostly an introduction. Chapter 1 states the problem being solved. The next chapter briefly introduces older technologies, including chemical techiques and 60s-80s mass spec technique. The next two chapters summarize modern mass spec hardware, then start to show how proteins behave in the environment inside the instrument. That gives the fundamentals of protein sequencing: how the molecules break down, and how the fragments help recreate the molecule. The authors go through a few examples in detail, starting from a mass spectrogram and moving forward to sequence. I was especially impressed by the examples that fail. Mass spec analysis is not a magic wand for producing sequences, it is a deductive process, and can not complete an analysis when clues are missing or ambiguous.

        The next three chapters are not about mass spec directly. Instead, they discuss how samples are prepared for analysis. This includes the clearest, most informative description of gel electrophoresis that I've seen, along with features of gel chemistry that do or do not interfere with mass spec measurements. This includes a discussion of protein digests, enzymatically produced fragments, and their place in analysis. I would have liked a little more discussion about combining information from digests produced by different enzymes, but no book can cover everything.

        The last three chapters extend the discussion of analysis, working upwards from fragments to complete protein sequences. The three chapters respectively address three topics: using standard internet databases for recognizing fragments of known proteins, using combinations of strategies to analyze novel proteins, and using mass spec to identify post-translational modifications. That last one suffers from brevity; perhaps it was only meant to define a problem that deserves a whole book of its own.

        Despite its throughness, the authors resist the urge for boggling detail. They present detail up to the point needed for understanding the mechanism and meaning of their topics, then stop. Lots of other writing would benefit from that kind of restraint.

        I came away from this book well-informed, and ready to address specific topics in greater detail. That was exactly what I wanted. I recommend this book very highly.

        Michael Kinter has presented the topic in a scientific yet enjoyable format. I found the information to be extremely interesting and beneficial in my laboratory. Lets face it folks this isn't the easiest nor most interesting topic to write about. Job well done DR. Kinter. I only have one criticism, there should have been more photos and illustrations.

        This little red book is certainly worth having around, especially if your just begining to analyze mass spec. There are lots of examples and problems to sharpen your skills.

        5 out of 5 stars Does the Job Well..........2007-05-13

        If you need a book on Interpreting your mass spectra this is it. Mainly concentrates on electron impact spectra but applicable to other methods. Gets quite involved though, we really only touched the first 4 chapters in any detail in my grad class. It is reasonable easy to read but quite dense, there is more information here than the page count might indicate.

        Pretty good, good examples, explanations of problems are quite good. In chapter reading sometimes hard to follow. Concise. A must read for anyone learning mass spec

        5 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the basics.......2002-02-21

        This book covers the basics of mass spectra, and how to interpret them by hand. While it doesn't reallly go into modern developments, its certainly a great way to get started thinking about mass spectroscopy in general. Probably most useful for an undergras course in spectroscopy, which is where I first came across it. The nice thing is it has lots of exercises for the reader that are actually alot of fun. Does not, unfortunately, address protein identification and sequencing by mass spec at al, so while I recommend this book as a starting point, a biologically oriented reader would best use this book in conjunction with a more protein-specific reference.

        3 out of 5 stars Beginners text.......2000-08-19

        A good introduction to classical mass spectrometry though most of the recent developments in the field are not covered. Most suitable for undergraduates. This edition corrects some of the organizational blunders in earlier forms ; previously a chapter on "Other Ionization Techniques" included sections on negative ions and icrs (?).

          Book Description

          Mass spectrometry (MS) is fast becoming the premier tool for analyzing various drug metabolism samples in the early phases of drug discovery and research. Introducing the newer, more powerful MS equipment and exploring new applications for using them, this book provides a state-of-the-art look at this promising field. Using Mass Spectrometry for Drug Metabolism Studies is an excellent resource for professionals in the fields of mass spectrometry and drug metabolism. It offers current knowledge in stand-alone chapters that address specific topics thoroughly enough to be read independently, with notes and references to other chapters for further reading. The first eight chapters discuss current topics regarding the use of MS for analyzing various types of in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism samples and the final four chapters describe the latest MS technology and its uses. In each chapter, expert authors demonstrate how to apply MS to determine drug metabolism parameters. They also explain the different drug metabolism concepts and their importance. Although there are a few books currently on the market that address this topic, they are rapidly becoming out-of-date. This book gives drug researchers and pharmacokineticists the latest information available on this important technology.
