Coverage includes:
- The background theory of infrared spectroscopy
- Instrumentation and sampling techniques
- Spectral analysis
- Organic molecules
- Inorganic molecules
- Polymers
- Biological applications
- Industrial applications
Suitable questions and problems are included in each chapter to assist in the analysis and interpretation of representative infrared spectra.
This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate chemistry students, as well as researchers in both academia and industry, and should provide a valuable addition to student coursework material and to those companies providing in-house training in the field of infrared spectroscopy.
