Synopsis

This is the fifth in a series of volumes investigating and explaining the application of instrumental spectrometric and spectroscopic measurements to the determination of molecular structures. This volume concentrates on the study of pheromones. Pheromones, commonly known as sex attractants, play a vital role in orchestrating, guiding and controlling the behaviour of insects and animals. The pheromones cover substances employed by bees, ants, moths & butterflies and extend to pheromones employed by rabbits and even wolves. They guide the creatures both to foods and away from foods as well as attracting them to the opposite sex of their species. Each chapter commences with an introduction to the pheromone and then continues with examination and interpretation of the infrared spectrum, mass spectrum and then the proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra before making conclusions about the molecular structure of the pheromone considered.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. Nick Winstone-Cooper studied chemistry and physics at Cardiff University before completing postgraduate research in nuclear chemistry, focusing on the creation of radioactive complexes of macrocyclic phosphines for application as heart and bone imaging agents in cancer diagnosis. He worked extensively in the United Kingdom, France, North America, Italy and the Republic of Korea before moving into education and education consultancy. Jasmine Tripconey studied Chemistry and Drug Discovery at the University of Bath. Her interests include the biochemistry of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and bioinorganic chemistry.
