Beschreibung
An updated and unified approach to mass spectral interpretation, emphasizing the application of basic principles
Electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry-an analytical tool used by chemists to identify and quantify compounds in a complex mixture-remains an essential technique for measuring low-molecular weight compounds such as drugs, flavor and odor components, pesticides, and petroleum products. The interpretation of EI mass spectra also remains an important skill because attempts to identify compounds using computer databases do not always yield useful results.
Understanding Mass Spectra: A Basic Approach, Second Edition presents the introductory-level student with the fundamental concepts of mass spectrometry, providing a useful foundation for solving basic problems in a laboratory setting. Completely revised, the Second Edition includes:
* A detailed overview of theory and instrumentation
* Step-by-step descriptions of interpretative strategies
* Many fascinating real-world case studies and examples
* Additional skill-building problems with clearly explained answers
* Easy-to-follow explanations of all important mathematical derivations
* Convenient lists and tables of information needed to identify unknowns
* Additional suggested readings
Containing problems and examples with a wide range of complexity, Understanding Mass Spectra emphasizes simple, practical treatments of topics such as fragmentation types and underlying mathematical relationships. Mastering these treatments allows for a solid grounding in basic principles and encourages advanced investigation. With this emphasis on comprehension, Understanding Mass Spectra, Second Edition provides a vital introduction to the field for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduates, as well as a valuable resource for professional chemists working in analytical laboratories.
Understanding Mass Spectra: A Basic Approach, Second Edition combines coverage of the principles underlying mass spectral analysis with clear guidelines on how to apply them in a laboratory setting. Completely revised from the first edition, an updated and unified approach to mass spectral interpretation emphasizes the application of basic principles from undergraduate organic, analytical, and physical chemistry courses.
A detailed overview of theory and instrumentation, this useful guide contains step-by-step descriptions of interpretative strategies and convenient lists and tables detailing the information needed to solve unknowns. Other features include real-world case studies and examples, skill-building problems with clearly explained answers, and easy-to-follow explanations of the important mathematical derivations.
