ResearchGuides: Chemistry : Spectra

Standard Spectra from Sadtler Research Laboratories

Located in the Reference Room: QC450 .S15 to QC459 S.17

To use this collection:

Look for a compound by name in the Cumulative Alphabetical Index or by molecular formula in the Cumulative Molecular Formula Index.
Note the identification number for the compound and spectra desired.
Consult the relevant volume for the given id and desired spectra.

Spectral Database for Organic Compounds (SDBS)
A free site organized by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).

From the Introduction:
"SDBS is an integrated spectral database system for organic compounds,which includes 6 different types of spectra under a directory of the compounds... an electron impact Mass spectrum (EI-MS), a Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, a 13C NMR spectrum, a laser Raman spectrum, and an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum."

nmrshiftdb2
"nmrshiftdb2 is a NMR database (web database) for organic structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (13C, 1H and other nuclei) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. Last not least, it features peer-reviewed submission of datasets by its users." - from nmrshiftdb2 site
