MS spectra
« on: May 10, 2019, 05:36:07 AM »
Hello, is anyone familiar with a software or a website that is able to predict the possible MS spectrum from a drawn structural formula of a molecule? I know that ChemDraw, a couple of other applications and websites can be used to predict NMR spectra, but is there some equivalent for MS?

I recommend to use either SciFinder or AIST, which may provide you the MS if they have it.

Here is the link for AIST:

Thanks, but I don't need that. I need a program or a webpage that can predict the fragmentation pattern and fragments most likely to be formed, based on the entered structure. The same way ChemDraw and a couple of other applications can predict and "explain" the NMR peaks of the drawn structure.

Anyone familiar with that?

Just my guess, but NMR spectral patterns are much easier to predict than MS fragmentation patterns. Peak positions in NMR spectra mostly depend on just the chemical structure; MS fragmentation patterns also depend quite a bit on the experimental method (instrument parameters).
