Mass spectrometry has undergone a great deal of development as an empirical subject and many useful approaches to the analysis and identification of organic molecules have been developed without a detailed understanding of theory of ion behaviour. This is also the way in which the subject is usually approached and it is the tack adopted here. That does not mean to say that an understanding of ion behaviour is not important - it is, but that understanding is still being developed and this book is designed for those wishing to use mass spectrometry now. To provide a good understanding of mass spectrometry, the basic theory of ion formation and behaviour, the instrumentation and the interpretation of the spectra of organic molecules are covered. There are also sections covering combined gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry, which are two of the most powerful techniques available to the analytical chemist.

Review
"...the book is written in a very clear form and is highly recommended not only for students on chemical instrumentation but also to scientists wishing to become acquainted on the technique and to teachers that will find several stimulating suggestions and examples." (Annali di Chimica, 1999)
"It is a valuable text reference for analytical chemists." (Bioseparation, 1999) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Publisher
Covers the basic theory of ion formation and behavior, the instrumentation for mass spectrometry, and the interpretation of the spectra of organic molecules. Describes also combined gas chromatography (mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography) mass spectrometry, which are among the most powerful techniques available to the analytical chemist. Text approaches mass spectrometry empirically, explaining the many useful techniques for the analysis and identification of organic molecules without requiring detailed theoretical knowledge of ion behavior. Presupposed on the reader's part is familiarity of basic organic chemistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent teaching tool,
This review is from: Mass Spectrometry: Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning (Paperback)
This book is great! If you don't have access to college courses or the time to take them then this is a book for you. This book is clearly written and its exercises guide you through properly interpreting mass spectra. The first edition of this book is also excellent. If you compare this book to McLafferty's (Interpretation of Mass Spectra) this is much more effective for teaching the beginner. I highly recommend this book
