Course Notes on the Interpretation of Infrared and Raman Spectra brings the notes and exercises from this influential course to a wider audience. A unique combination of instructional text and invaluable reference, the book approaches its subject in a deep and rigorous fashion while incorporating exercises throughout to reinforce and enhance knowledge and understanding of IR spectroscopy.
Coverage includes:
- Exercises for actively incorporating basic data into interpretive strategies
- Chapters covering comparison of data, sample handling in the IR region, strategies for obtaining data from samples that are mixtures of materials,and more
- Fascinating background information on the MIT/Bowdoin course
- Plus much more!
Course Notes on the Interpretation of Infrared and Raman Spectra provides today’s most authoritative insights into the use of IR spectroscopy for accurately interpreting the vibrational spectra of complex molecules. Detailed and well developed, it fills a significant void in the existing infrared literature.
