Determination of Organic Structures by Physical Methods

In the previous two volumes of this treatise the use of established physicochemical methods of organic structure elucidation was stressed. In the intervening years these older methods have found widespread use and are now considered classic. With increasing sophistication, both in design of apparatus and in interpretative skills, the development of new approaches has been so rapid as to necessitate three additional volumes to cover the progress made. The contributors to this volume not only discuss the refinements of some of the older methods, but also present certain techniques which have not yet found much application to structure research. It may well be that these new methods will be considered classic ten years hence.
