Laboratory

  • Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)
  • There are a lot of spectroscopy values that must be committed to memory to work through IR and NMR problems. Our IR and NMR Study Chart allows for interactive learning of values to typical functional groups studied in IR and NMR using our same flashcard style format in table form.
