Chem 416
Software & Webware

Chemistry 416 at the University of Missouri-Columbia is sponsored by Cherwell Scientific.
Students train with gNMR the chemist's first choice for NMR spectral simulation.

NIST Chemistry WebBook - An outstanding source for thermochemical and spectroscopic data. Site includes IR and MS spectra.
Animation of Vibrational Modes of Water
BioChemNet - A directory of excellent biology and chemistry educational resources online (including some spectroscopy). IR Spectroscopy and Table of IR Spectra @ UMSL. Wiley's IR Tutor BioMagResBank - BMRB - A Repository for Data from NMR Spectroscopy on Proteins, Peptides and Nucleic Acids. The NMR Periodic Table SDBS - Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds
