The chapter covers key spectroscopic techniques—Mass Spectrometry (MS), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)—that are essential for determining the structures of organic compounds. It emphasizes how these methods work both individually and synergistically to obtain comprehensive information about molecular structures. Special focus is given to the principles of operation, interpretation of results, and systematic approaches for structural elucidation using combined spectral data.
