Mass Spectrometry

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into mass spectrometry.  It explains how to match the correct molecular fragments with the corresponding m/z peaks in the mass spectrum.  This video discusses the mass spectrum of ketones, alcohols, alkanes, and alkyl halides with bromine and chlorine.  It discusses the difference between the base peak and the parent peak.  It also shows the effect of isotopes such as Carbon-13 on the mass spectrum.  It also mentions the M+2 peak for isotopes of chlorine and bromine.  Finally, it discusses the mclafferty rearrangement which occurs following the electron ionization of ketones.

Where can I see the links mentioned in the last minute of the video for the IR spec, NMR spec ? thanks!
