About

NMR Solvent Peaks

This utility helps organic chemists quickly identify potential impurities by searching a database of NMR data. Users can input solvent, peak multiplicity, and location to find candidate impurities. It supports both proton and carbon data searches.

Highlights
  • Search for impurities by mode, solvent, multiplicity, and ppm
  • View alphabetical list of all impurities
  • Adjust user interface handedness
  • Select color themes
  • Supports proton and carbon NMR data

NMR Solvent Peaks is a conveniently-searchable version of the ungainly table of NMR data most organic chemists keep a copy of nearby. Instead of searching through the table for a peak near your unidentified peak, just enter your solvent and the peak's multiplicity and location and you'll have a short list of candidate impurities. NMR Solvent Peaks has support for searching both proton and carbon data, and references the widely-distributed 2010 Organometallics paper by Gregory Fulmer and coworkers and the 2016 OPRD paper by Gregory Whiteker and coworkers. Feature Highlights: - search for impurities based upon mode (proton/carbon), deuterated solvent, multiplicity, and ppm - select "show all" for ppm to see an alphabetical list of all impurities in the app's database - pick a color theme and adjust the user interface handedness

About

OSpectrometer

This app uses your device's camera and screen to perform basic optical spectroscopy. Analyze the visible light spectrum of objects, map light wavelengths to RGB values, and save or share your findings. It functions offline without external hardware.

Optical spectroscopy in the visible light spectrum is a commonly used tool in different fields such as health, manufacturing, art, and forensic research. OSpectrometer implements basic spectrometer functions using the built-in camera and screen without requiring external devices or programs. - Visible light spectrum is transformed and mapped to a function that generates RGB (Red Green Blue) color values - A specific light wavelength can be selected and used to illuminate a desired target (i.e., close to the screen) - The whole spectrum or a specific part of the spectrum can be selected and scanned - Front camera is used to sense the reflection from the target object - Consistent and repeatable reflection/absorption amplitude with respect to the color spectrum - The result can be saved and shared - Works offline, no need to connect to any network or internet Privacy-policy: https://software.nanorescenter.com/osprectrometer-privacy-policy Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NMR Solvent Peaks at 100% against OSpectrometer's 0%. NMR Solvent Peaks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). OSpectrometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
