Do you teach organic spectroscopy and/or qualitative
analysis?
If so then you might be interested in the Windows program
WinTorg, version 3.2 of which has just been released.
WinTorg simulates the process of
identifying unknown organic
compounds. It is suitable for use by
early university or college level
students. Spectroscopy is emphasised.
There are 100 compounds
each having pmr, cmr, ir, ms spectra
and uv data together with
other information. The unknowns can
be identified by spectroscopy
alone or in combination with chemical
tests.
WinTorg is easy to use, has extensive help
available and can be
customised. Student progress is
recorded and reported.
A free demonstration/shareware version
(having only 3 compounds)
is available. For more details
see
http://www.chem.utas.edu.au/staff/blackman/shareware/torganal.htm
Registered users of WinTorg who purchased
the program within the
last 12 months can obtain a free upgrade on
request.
