Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds 8th Edition

I have read this book cover to cover at three different points over the years, and I must say that this is a highly recommended resource for anyone needing a primer in spectroscopic techniques. This book has been a faithful friend since my undergrad years and now well into my seasoned academic career. Sure there are other books, but it is hard to find such a concise yet reasonably comprehensive resource which holds your hand when navigating a plethora of techniques used for organic molecular structure determination. It is a great reference for day-to-day analysis in the lab and conveys complex concepts in rather simple terms. The best part is the problem set, which really makes you work your brain and tremendously help in absorbing those concepts.Ok, enough about the book - the seller is an absolute pleasure to deal with as well. The book is packed carefully and it arrived unscathed through the normal postal service.Both the book and the seller are highly recommended

The textbook arrived in excellent condition with only a few pencil marks on the inside. Excellent quality overall!

The product was delivered before the expected time and I loved it because I needed to read all the documents for my finals. So far, it has been very informative as expected.

Great price and quality. Very happy with this purchase.

This is the 6th ed. of the classic Silverstein treatis. This is a well made, slightly oversize format book. Covers Mass Spec., NMR, IR, Raman. It's not a database for compound identification. Rather, it's closer to a how and why kind of book. Still, there are many spectra, examples, and exercizes. When the 7th ed. came out, I bought that one too.

This book was fine as far as learning spectra but not as detailed as the Pavia book. This book is great if you are already have an advanced understanding of spectroscopy & do not need to go into great detail. If you prefer more detail then Pavia is better.

I used this book for a class and then kept it because it's such a great reference. I learned a great deal just reading the book, but the practice problems are great. You can't expect to be a whiz just from reading the book, and the practice problems really help illustrate the points they outline in the text.

Taking a structures course this semester and this book has been my lifesaver. Even if I didn't take the course, it's a book to definitely get if you do a lot of collection of data with research. It helped me become more accurate at pinpointing compound structures peaks.
