Product Description
A true introductory text for learning the spectroscopic techniques of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Infrared, Ultraviolet and Mass Spectrometry. It can be used in a stand alone spectroscopy course or as a supplement to the sophomore-level organic chemistry course.

 A must-have for learning Spectroscopy! August 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I absolutely LOVE this book. I first bought it for my Junior year analytical chemistry class, and I still use it today in grad school. It is VERY good at explaining NMR theory. Anything I ever needed related to NMR or IR I found in this book. It is by far the most useful chemistry book I own.

Standard textbook outlining most spectroscopic techniques as taught at undergraduate level. However, contains an embarrassingly dated treatment of mass spectrometry which can not have been rewritten since the 1970s. No mention of the biggest MS techniques in use today (electrospray and MALDI), a glaring oversight especially in light of Fenn & Tanaka winning Nobel Prizes in 2002 for just these developments. And time-of-flight instruments having a mass range of 5000 and resolution of 200? Several years before this book was published, commercial machines were available with mass ranges well over 100,000 Da and resolutions of 10,000+. Not only poor, but misleading. Overall, a rather derivative book that seems to have been written largely by consultation of more authoritative work (probably an early edition of Williams & Fleming).
Another Good Reference on Organic Spectroscopy August 23, 2001

The new edition of Pavis might be the twin to Crews' Organic Structural Analysis. This text discusses the fundamentals of 1H NMR, carbon-13 NMR, infrared spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy. The book also includes a section on 2D NMR. Pavia should not be missed by advanced undergraduate students who pursue research and practicing chemists who need quick reference on interpreting spectra.
An Essential Introductory Reference May 22, 2001
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is probably the best introductory reference on spectroscopy currently available, and I've checked out pretty much every book on the market right now. I'm a chemist, and this book got me through my senior synthesis and spectroscopy lab. Proton and carbon-13 NMR, IR, GC/MS, and UV/Vis are all covered in the book. It includes many handy tables of characteristic shifts for NMR, characteristic absorbances for IR and UV/Vis, and a nifty table on common GC/MS fragments by m/e. The chapter on 2D NMR is lousy, but that's not really introductory material anyhow. The UV/Vis chapter is kind of cursory, but UV/Vis isn't all that useful.
This is a book that I intend to hang on to for a while.
Great books for students in chemistry June 4, 1999
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
I have found this book to a great tool for students of organic chemistry especially those wanting to further their education in graduate school or medical school.It is eay to read and can also be used a "teach yourself" book. I recomend this book to anyone who is a bit shaky in interpreting NMR, IR, and Mass Spec.
