This book present, in an ordered and systematic manner, the various methods that have been developed for the interpretatin of infrared and Raman Spectra. The applicability of the various techniques is stressed, and prerequisites, approaches, requirements, and working methodology discussed.
Commencing with a look at simple, frequently used routines which require no special knowledge and no mathematical background, the authors then look at methods utilizing group theory, An introduction to the theoretical and mathematical analysis of the vibrational spectra of free molecules and soilds form the final part of the book. Numerous examples of the analysis of infrared and Raman Spectra and extensive tables will enable the reader to apply the techniques to the solution of real problems.
The high information content, mature technology and wide aplicability have made vibrational spectroscopy one of the most improtant methods for chemical analysis and molecular structure determination, and this overview of the numerous applications, together with concise descriptipns of problem-oriented approaches will be of great value to under and post graduate students as well as a welcome resource text for the practising spectroscopist.
