I’m looking for a textbook that can teach me NMR and IR spectrum reading and analysis.

I really don't understand how to read the spectra or how to analyse them.

  • Try Oxford Chemsitry Primers, specifically for NMR I recommend Peter J Hore's book, called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (I have the second edition) – getafix Oct 23 '16 at 14:31

    Depends on what you want. PJ Hore's primer focuses mainly on the physical principles of NMR. For application of NMR, IR, MS etc. to organic molecule identification I would go with Tim Claridge's primer Introduction to Organic Spectroscopy. – orthocresol Oct 23 '16 at 15:04
  • If this question is off-topic, this one must be too. (However, this could be a dupe of that.) – Jan Oct 23 '16 at 15:37

    @Jan I agree. The main resource thread certainly doesn't have spectroscopy recommendations, though. I will edit some in when I'm free then close as a dupe. – orthocresol Oct 23 '16 at 15:44
  • Hesse, Meier, Zeeh, Spektroskopische Methoden in der OC. Very good German book, covers all NMR, IR, MS that the ordinary organic chemist needs. There is an english translation available. – Karl Oct 23 '16 at 17:49
  • This question doesn't make a lot of sense without knowing your background. Student, professional? Biology, engineering, physics? I guess you're not a chemistry student? – Karl Oct 23 '16 at 18:35

I found Oxford Chemistry Primers to be quite good. There are many topics and the books themselves are very thin, but provide an adequate amount of information for undergraduate level.
