Spectral Database for Organic Compounds (SDBS) is a website hosted by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology of Japan. It is freely accessible, and contains extensive spectroscopic data for organic compounds including that for infrared and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
Famous quotes containing the words spectral, organic and/or compounds:
“How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a spectre through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“There is ... an organic affinity between joyousness and tenderness, and their companionship in the saintly life need in no way occasion surprise.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
