Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation
Computer-Assisted Organic Synthesis
Of considerable importance to all chemists who analyze and predict molecular structures routinely, this volume stresses the latest techniques for using low-cost, high performance digital computers combined with the vast data resource of computer networks. Methodologies discussed include library search techniques, automated interpretation of data, pattern recognition, structure generation, and ranking of candidate structures based on prediction of spectroscopic or chemical behavior.
