1. NMR Searching:
(1) To get started:
- If it is commercially available compounds, look up “The
Aldrich library of 13C and 1H FT NMR spectra” (REFERENCE,
QD96.I5 N96 2001).
- If it is not commercially available chemicals, try to find NMR
information from specific journals. Go to the Beilstein or Sci finder,
and give structure, name, or formula to find the information.
- Contact to chemical provider
- It’s good to know that you can do the quick simulation on
1H NMR and 13C NMR from Chemdraw. It doesn’t give you accurate
values on chemical shifts but it is helpful sometime.
(2) Specialist Periodical
Reports:
The Chemical Society publishes a serial, which is a review of recently
published literature on a number of topics. A volume was published
on NMR in 1991-1992; it can be found using call number QC762.N88
vol. 22. In addition, following are related serials that can be
found in chemistry library
- Topics in carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy (chemistry QD272.S6 L48)
- Handbook of proton-NMR spectra and data, (chemistry, series, QC
762.H33 1985).
(3) A few good web sources
are:

www.dmoz.org/science/chemistry/nuclear_magnetic_resonance/.html
www.chemsoc.org/pdf/learnnet/rsc/NMR_txt.pdf
(4) Experts in the Field:
Talk to the director of the Columbia NMR Facilities, John Decatur,
for recommended general reading on the practical side of NMR. He
is also able to schedule training and demonstrations on the practical
techniques available. Training on the Turro Group NMR’s is
available through Ashok Maliakal, Tracy Morkin, or Kirsten Ostberg.
2. Fluorescence Searching:
(1) Most useful resources:
- Handbook of Photochemistry 1993 (by Murov, Steven L)
available from Turro group and chemistry REFERENCE QD719 .M87
- Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy (by Joseph Lakowicz) (chem.
QD96.F56 L34 1999)
(2) Electric Resources:
http://phys.educ.ksu.edu/vqm/html/fluorescence.html
(3) Experts in the Field:
Talk to Steffen Jockush for practical training and information regarding
the Fluorescence spectrometers within the group.
3. ESR Spectra Searching:
(1) Useful web sites:
When searching for ESR Data, one of the useful sources is the Landolt-Boernstein
Database which is available on the chemistry library website online,
or using the link below. This database contains the ESR splitting
patterns for various organic and inorganic free radicals.
Landolt-Boernstein Search:
http://link.springer.de/link/service/series/0284/tocs/t002.htm
Magnetic Properties
Magnetic Properties of Free Radicals (See chapters: 1, 9, 17, 26)

4. IR spectra Searching:
(1) Good web source of IR-data:
Enter the molecule name to search this database.
SDBS: http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/SDBS/menu-e.html
NIST: http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/
WIZARD: http://www.chem.uni-potsdam.de/tools/index.html
WEB SPECTRA: http://w3.chem.ucla.edu/~webspectra/
(2) Useful Books:
Also available in the Library are Aldrich IR Reference books which
contain IR data for any Aldrich compounds
- The Aldrich Library of FT-IR Spectra (volume 1-3).
- Raman Infrared Atlas of Organic Compounds (Reference, chem. QD
272.S6)
(3) Experts in the Field:
Talk to Steffen Jockush and/or Joanne Dyer for practical training and information regarding
the IR spectrometers within the group.
5. UV-Vis Spectra Searching:
Good Resources:
- Organic structures from spectra (chem. QD272.S6 S74 1995).
- UV-VIS Atlas of organic compounds (chem. QC462.85 .P47 1992).
- Handbook of Ultraviolet and Visible… (chem. QD291. H61,
1967).
