This website part of a larger project “ChemGuide” provides a nice introduction to mass spectrometry that is suitable for use by introductory analytical chemistry students. Content includes an introduction to the instrumentation, explanation of fragmentation and how it can be used to identify compound structure, the origin of the M+ and (M+1)+ peaks. Each section is succinct, well written and provides a simple example. As such the site should be useful to faculty introducing mass spectrometry in the analytical classroom and to chemistry students.
The website is available here .
