Features: With the development and advancement of instrumental analysis, the structural analysis of organic compounds can now be said to primarily rely on the four major spectroscopic techniques: infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Each of these spectroscopic techniques can provide a wealth of patterns and data, and the key to successful structural elucidation lies in accurately linking various data to the overall or fragment structure of the molecule. Although the classification and distribution of this data follow certain patterns, subtle differences in molecular structure can lead to variations in the data and patterns to some extent. Therefore, even for an experienced researcher, it is impossible to memorize all this data and its variations. Similarly, for beginners, it is relatively easier to learn and master the basic principles and methods of various spectroscopic analyses, whereas applying the obtained data to solve analytical problems or deducing and confirming its detailed spectroscopic data from the structural formula is much more challenging. Thus, having a spectroscopic data handbook at hand, much like having a dictionary for language, would greatly benefit both our work and learning. The book lists a comprehensive and detailed array of data and patterns, arranged logically for easy reference, accompanied by brief textual explanations. As a reference tool, it meets the needs of structural elucidation for various organic compounds. This book is available for reference use by faculty and students of universities and colleges, as well as researchers in related fields when analyzing the structures of organic compounds.
