Study Aids

Databases of Physical Constants

Spectroscopy Databases

  • Database of Mass, IR, ESR, and NMR Spectra: NIMCR's ISDBS for Organic Compounds
  • Sigma-Aldrich is another place to look for NMR spectra: www.SigmaAldrich.com
    • After you search the compound click for information on the specific product, then under "POPULAR DOCUMENTS" check to see if there is a link for a FT-NMR pdf file.
  • Extensive online NMR reference includes C-13 and proton chemical shifts compilation: https://www.chem.wisc.edu/areas/reich/nmr/index.htm
  • Database of IR and Mass Spectra. NIST Chemistry WebBook
  • NMR Spectrum Predictor** http://www.nmrdb.org/new_predictor/index.shtml?v=v2.82.3
    **Beware putting too much credence in the NMR predictors. These only predict spectral data based on a relatively small set of known compounds' spectra. The results obtained cannot by any stretch be used as "true",  "literature", or "theoretical" values. However, sometimes they can be used as a "guesstimate" of where your peaks should be.
