Spectra
From WolfWikis
Try the following resources for spectra.
Online
- SDBS, Spectral Database for Organic Compounds
- Aldrich (Aldrich Catalog Handbook of Fine Chemicals)
- Spectra available on the web version of Aldrich at http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/
- Dictionary of Organic Compounds
- Reference QD246 .D5 (9 volumes), look for references ending in (ir) or (nmr)
- Available online through ChemNetBase
In the library
- Hundreds of atlases and more specialized books are available in the library.
- Try narrowing your search by type of spectra or application
- See finding spectra in the library for more help
The Aldrich Library are good general atlases of NMR and IR spectra:
- Aldrich Library of 13C and 1H FT NMR Spectra - abbreviated FT-NMR in Aldrich Catalog
- Reference QC462.85 .A44
- Aldrich Library of FT-IR Spectra - abbreviated FT-IR in Aldrich Catalog
- Reference QD96 .I5 P66
Other places to look
If you can't locate a spectrum in any of the reference materials, you may need to locate the spectrum, or even simply spectroscopic data, from a literature search.
See the chemical literature page for help with this. SciFinder Scholar is the recommended database for this task.
