There is nothing original about these pages - they could not have been compiled without the efforts of many educational institutions around the world and the generosity of the National Institute of Materials and Chemical Research in making them available. Since IR and mass spectra are in the current London syllabus and NMR will be in the new one, here is a set of spectra for you to use as reference, together with the link for access to thousands more.

This is NOT an Edexcel-inspired list, nor is it a syllabus list from which compounds might be used for questions. It's just a collection of spectra that I have chosen more or less arbitrarily.

Notes:

• The spectra are wider than the standard screen, but they do not re-size very well. To print them use the 'resize to fit paper' option in the printer window. Alternatively they can be printed landscape.
• Most of the NMR spectra are 90MHz, the IR liquid film unless otherwise stated.
• For additional information go to the Sources indicated in the list below.

Source:

• National Institute of Materials and Chemical Research, Japan; linked from each page as SDBS. There are thousands more spectra there. They are free, but visitors are asked not to download more than 50 spectra per day without contacting the site's owners.
• Compounds can be searched using name (which need not be systematic), molecular formula, or molecular mass.
