Description: Sadtler Spectra Handbooks
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sadtler Standard GC Retention Index Library

Since its inception, gas chromatography has been one of the most important and commonly used techniques available for quantitative analysis. In addition, it is used extensively for the confirmation of known compounds in applications, such as quality control, where the user has prior information about what compounds are in his sample. Until recently, gas chromatography has not been used to any great extent in the general and broad identification of unknown compounds. Identification using GC has generally been limited to those compounds for which the analyst has a reference compound to run for confirmation. However, GC has advanced to a new stage of development. High separation power, speed of analysis and extremely good reproducibility of results are general characteristics inherent to high resolution chromatography using fused silica columns. These advances in technology have made possible the general identification of unknown compounds through the use of the GC retention index database.

The publication encompasses 2000 compounds, including a variety of pollutants and solvents, as well as a range of simple and complex compounds that are organic in nature. It includes all types of compounds which will elute through a GC at specified conditions. The set contains three volumes of retention index data and one volume for the index.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sadtler Guide to NMR Spectra

This guide contains NMR spectra of 480 compounds, as well as spectral data in tabular form for 130 compounds whose spectra consist of a single peak. All compounds have been selected from the Sadtler Standard NMR Collection; some exhibit characteristic absorption patterns, others are commonly encountered materials.

This guide is divided into twelve classifications, each beginning with a description of the chemical shifts, coupling constants and other significant features typical of the group. Provided at the end of the book is a standard alphabetical index and indices by spin system, coupling constants and exchangeable proton types.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sadtler Guide to the NMR Spectra of Polymers

The Sadtler Guide To The NMR Spectra of Polymers describes the analysis of polymers and resins by Proton NMR spectroscopy. It contains spectra of polymers such as synthetic fibers, elastomers, surfactants, solvents, lubricants and plastics, representing commercial applications.

Sections on vinyl polymers (mono-, di- and unsubstituted), diene polymers, polyethers and amines, condensation polymers and miscellaneous polymers are included. Each section discusses representative polymers and includes typical NMR spectra of these materials.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------The Sadtler Handbooks of Reference Spectra (IR, NMR, UV)

Volume 1 The Sadtler Handbook of Infrared Spectra
Volume 2 The Sadtler Handbook of Proton NMR Spectra
Volume 3 The Sadtler Handbook of Ultraviolet Spectra
Sold separately or as a set.

This series contains the spectra of 3000 of the most commonly referred to compounds in Sadtler's 300,000 reference spectra database. The spectra of these compounds were recorded using infrared and proton NMR techniques and, where appropriate, the ultraviolet technique. Each of the three volumes is independently indexed and cross-referenced. They are available individually or as a set.

Compounds are arranged and indexed by chemical class, compound name and Spec-FinderTM search system in the IR. The spectra are presented in a large, easy-to-read format along with the compound name, its molecular structure, molecular formula, molecular weight, optical and thermal data (when available) and method of preparation.

The handbooks contain the reference spectra of many compounds relevant to introductory college courses, both lecture and laboratory, in organic chemistry. In addition, they serve as a handy desk reference for those who are employed in industry and require spectroscopy for the identification of organic compounds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------The Sadtler Spectra Handbooks of ESTERS (IR, NMR)

Volume 1 The Infrared Spectra Handbook of Esters
Volume 2 The NMR Spectra Handbook of Esters
Sold separately or as a set.

The spectra of 2000 esters have been selected from the Sadtler Standard Spectra Collections to illustrate the spectral effect of many different functional groups on this important class of compounds.

The series consists of two handbooks, one contains spectra prepared using the infrared technique, the other contains spectra prepared using the proton NMR technique. In each book, the spectra are grouped by classification: simple esters (no other functional group present), esters containing one or more additional groups, lactones, carbamates, thiocarbamates and isocyanates.

The two volumes are available individually or as a set. They are independently indexed and cross-referenced. All spectra are indexed by compound type, compound name and Spec-Finder search system in the IR and molecular weight in the NMR.

These handbooks are intended to satisfy the need for a convenient collection of reference spectra applicable to the spectral study of esters. They will appeal to those who are employed in industry and require spectroscopy for the identification of organic compounds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------The Infrared Spectra Atlas of Surfactants (Surface Active Agents)

This atlas includes the infrared spectra of 2000 surface active agents representing a broad cross-section of surfactant classifications. The compounds have been selected and edited by Richard A. Nyquist. All are thoroughly indexed both alphabetically and by the Spec-FinderTM search system.

The spectra are presented linear in wavenumber over the spectral region 4000-400 cm-1. For each compound, the commercial name, description, manufacturer information and method of analysis are provided.

The infrared spectra are arranged in 47 chemical classes, and in order of increasing chemical complexity within each class. An introduction precedes each surfactant class, and within many classifications a systematic arrangement of IR group frequency data is provided.

The Atlas should be particularly helpful as a reference for those engaged in surfactant identification and material selection. It also serves as a convenient educational guide to those who are studying surfactants.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Atlas of Near Infrared Spectra

Included in this atlas are the near infrared spectra of 1000 commonly analyzed compounds. Each compound listing contains the name of the compound, molecular formula, molecular structure, molecular weight and, when available, boiling point and melting point. All of the spectra are indexed alphabetically and by molecular formula to provide ease of access.

The spectra are recorded in the spectral region from 0.7 to 2.6 microns. Since no single cell thickness or sample concentration is applicable to all sections of the Near IR spectrum, typically two or three thicknesses or concentrations are scanned throughout the entire spectral region. The proportion of the cell thickness used varies from 0.1 mm to 100 mm according to the band intensity variance of the particular sample.

Compounds for this collection have been carefully selected on the basis of their requirements by research scientists, their value for Near IR methods development and their general usefulness in industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Infrared Spectra Atlas of Monomers and Polymers

The infrared spectra of 2000 monomers and polymers from Sadtler's collection have been selected and edited by Richard A. Nyquist for inclusion in this atlas. The compounds are organized by polymer class, and each section is preceded by an introduction which includes an absorption band chart specifying the characteristic infrared absorption bands representative of the class. Also provided is a brief description of the group's frequency characteristics with the spectrum of at least one compound as an example.

The spectra are linear in wavenumber over the spectral region 4000-400 cm-1. The commercial name, description, manufacturer information and method of analysis also appear for each compound.

This atlas is a convenient reference for those engaged in ploymer identification and material selection. It is also a useful education guide for those studying monomers and polymers.

The Infrared Spectra Handbooks of Minerals and Clays

This Sadtler handbook, edited by Dr. John R. Ferraro, is a collection of the infrared reference spectra of more than 400 minerals and clays. Special care was exercised in the selection of the spectra in order to determine if ubiquitous impurities, such as quartz, calcite or gypsum , were present.

The spectra are presented in a transmittance vs. wave number format over the spectral region 4000-250 cm-1. The name of the compound, composition (if available), source of the sample and method of sample preparation are also provided.

The compounds are organized and presented by classification as follows: Binary Compounds, Diatomic Ions, Triatomic Ions, Ions of the XO3 Type, Ions of the XO4 Type and Silicates.

This handbook provides an excellent infrared spectra reference for those performing mineral matter identification in fuel feedstocks such as coal and shale and for chemists analyzing fillers in the adhesives and coatings industry. The collection is also an important aid to the mineralogist, since infrared spectroscopy is often the easiest, fastest and most accessible analytical method for the identification of minerals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------The Sadtler Guide to Carbon-13 NMR Spectra

This Sadtler guide is a mini-catalog of 500 specially selected carbon-13 NMR reference spectra. The spectra are systematically arranged by compound/carbon type and each section is preceded by a brief introduction on the chemical shifts, substituent effects and special features which are observed for those particular compounds. Chemical shift data for an additional 500 compounds are presented in tabular form.

The spectra have been selected from reference spectra contained in the Sadtler Standard Carbon-13 NMR Collection. The spectra are high quality and noise decoupled, prepared as solutions in standard solvents and utilize accepted internal references.

Printed below each spectrum are the chemical shifts of the absorption bands which have been assigned to the carbon atoms in the molecular structure of the compound. Peak locations have been obtained directly from the computer of the spectrometer system.

The compounds have been arranged in an ordering system similar to the one used by many organic chemistry textbooks.

The guide contains an alphabetical index, a special index devoted to hetero-atom coupling constants and a table of contents which lists the compounds in a chemical class system.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IR and NMR Spectral Data-Structure Correlations for the Carbonyl Group

Infrared and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance are spectroscopic techniques used in spectra-structure identification of chemical compositions. The study of carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts of carbonyl containing compounds and the carbonyl stretching frequencies for the corresponding compounds was undertaken in an attempt to develop correlations between the carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts of carbonyl carbons vs. the C=O stretching frequencies for the corresponding compounds. Correlations of this type are particularly beneficial in cases where neither technique alone yields a definite solution to the chemical structure problem.

The carbon-13 NMR chemical shift data for over 600 compounds are arranged into 13 tables by chemical class and subclasses. The classes presented are: ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters, thiocarbonates and thioesters, carboxylic acid salts, carboxylic acid halides, amides, anhydrides, imides, ureas, carbamates and chloroformates.

The compounds that appear in this publication, written by Richard A. Nyquist, with their carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts and IR carbonyl stretching frequencies are indexed three ways: alphabetically, in increasing order of their carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts, and in increasing order of their IR carbonyl stretching frequencies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sadtler Guide to Carbon-13 NMR Spectra of Polymer and Resins

This handbook contains more than 350 carbon-13 NMR spectra of polymers, copolymers and resins. It was designed to be an aid in the classification and identification of these complex materials. The spectra have been selected to provide representative examples of each type of polymer and resin contained in the Sadtler Carbon-13 NMR Monomer and Polymer Collection.

The spectra, many of which have structural representation and assigned chemical shifts, are printed one-per-page with their polymeric, commercial or trade name, manufacturer or source and physical properties. The chemical shifts of the major bands in each spectrum are listed as well as the solvent used in preparing the sample solution.

Polymer types that are represented in the handbook include polymers and copolymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polybutene, polybutadiene, polyisoprene, polychloroprene, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polystyrene, polyurethane, polysulfide, polycarbonate and other polyesters, nylon and silicone polymers.
