This volume is the proceedings of the Linking and Interpretlng Spectra through Molecular Structures Conference, which was held at the University of Warwick in September 1996.

Developments in computing have always been rapid and the four years since the previous meeting, Networking of Spectroscopic Instruments and Spectroscopic Data, have been no exception. Today, data processing is integral to an analytical instrument and data are now available electronically in copious quantities, while software that handles molecular structures is accessible to all laboratories. It is, therefore, inevitable that analysts and chemists want to combine both sets of data. Thus, this meeting focused on these developments, with the emphasis on the management of the information and on the interpretation of the spectra.

This volume presents the lectures, break-out sessions and the posters presented at the conference. Among the topics covered were:

• How an academic organic chemist uses computers
• Representing and searching molecular structures
• R&D team computing systems and electronic lab notebooks
• Practical data collections
• Automated interpretation
• Computer prediction of spectra
• Laboratory computing
• Data standards
• Integrating software packages
• The delights and despairs of networking spectrometer control computers

Price: £40.00.
