Guide to Spectroscopic Identification of Organic Compounds is a practical "how-to" book with a general problem-solving algorithm for determining the structure of a molecule from complementary spectra or spectral data obtained from MS, IR, NMR, or UV spectrophotometers. Representative compounds are analyzed and examples are solved. Solutions are eclectic, ranging from simple and straightforward to complex. A picture of the relationship of structure to physical properties, as well as to spectral features, is provided. Compounds and their derivatives, structural isomers, straight-chain molecules, and aromatics illustrate predominant features exhibited by different functional groups. Practice problems are also included.Guide to Spectroscopic Identification of Organic Compounds is a helpful and convenient tool for the analyst in interpreting organic spectra. It may serve as a companion to any organic textbook or as a spectroscopy reference; its size allows practitioners to carry it along when other tools… Read More

First Volume of 4 volume set that provides an encyclopedic reference for artists pigments.
This volume covers
Indian Yellow, Cobalt Yellow (Aureolin) Barium sulfate (Natural and Synthetic), Cadmium Yellows Red and Oranges, Red Lead and Minium, Green Earth, Zinc White, Chrome yellow and other Chromate Pigments, Lead Antimonate Yellow, and Carmine.
Each chapter covers history, chemistry, uses, and methods of analysis with data for identifying the pigment in a work of art.

Very useful book related to the permanence of pigments used by artists , how they behave over time with different media, and a review of the palettes of the Masters, modern artists, and the Munich palette.
