Extensively revised and updated, this new edition, as in previous editions, emphasizes the point that the most important part of learning how to interpret unknown mass spectra is to practice interpreting mass spectra. The book aims at correlating ion dissociation mecanisms on a much broader scale, with the emphasis on basic attributes such as ionization energies, proton affinities and bond dissociation energies. The authors also tried to show how these mechanisms are applicable to the unimolecular dissociations of ions formed by any ionization method, including the new methods for obtaining mass spectra of large molecules.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction to the basics,
This review is from: Interpretation of Mass Spectra (Hardcover)
This book covers the basics of mass spectra, and how to interpret them by hand. While it doesn't reallly go into modern developments, its certainly a great way to get started thinking about mass spectroscopy in general. Probably most useful for an undergras course in spectroscopy, which is where I first came across it. The nice thing is it has lots of exercises for the reader that are actually alot of fun. Does not, unfortunately, address protein identification and sequencing by mass spec at al, so while I recommend this book as a starting point, a biologically oriented reader would best use this book in conjunction with a more protein-specific reference.

Classic Book for Mass Spectrometry,
By stone@magnet.fsu.edu (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interpretation of Mass Spectra (Hardcover)
The book is commonly used as a text book on Mass Spectrometry at graduate or undergraduate level. Very nice for organic mass spectrometry. I even read a Chinese version back home.The examples are good, exercises have answers at the end of book: great for self-practicing. It is too bad that this book does not cover the currently very hot biological mass spectrometry. Anyway this is a book you have to read at least twice if you want to be in the field of mass spectrometry.

A good mass spec reference.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Interpretation of Mass Spectra (Hardcover)
A good reference to have on your desk. Best for graduate students or undergrads. Largely irrelevant for todays working chemist.
