Following its well-received predecessor, this book offers an essential guide to chemists for understanding fluorine in spectroscopy. With over 1000 compounds and 100 spectra, the second edition adds new data featuring fluorine effects on nitrogen NMR, chemical shifts, and coupling constants. Explains how to successfully incorporate fluorine into target molecules and utilize fluorine substituents to structurally characterize organic compounds Includes new data on nitrogen NMR, focusing on N-15, to portray the influence of fluorine upon nitrogen NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants Expands on each chapter from the first edition with additional data and updated discussion from recent findings "The flawless ordering of material covered in this stand-alone volume is such that information can be found very easily."
