This is going to be a multiple series post on the structure determination of small molecules. When a chemist synthesizes what he/she thinks is an exciting new compound, how do they know that they in fact succeeded? When a chemist thinks he has isolated an exotic compound from a natural product, how is it that the structure of this molecule is determined?
This brings us into the domain of structure determination. This article will be split up into 3 components, each outlining a different technique used in structure determination
Hopefully, these sets of articles will give insight into how chemists carry out their routine. :)
