Handbook of Molecular Spectroscopy provides a straightforward and comprehensive coverage of the common spectroscopic techniques and interpretation of spectra, and their applications to organic and inorganic based systems. The underlying quantum mechanical principles and applications of major modern spectroscopic techniques spanning from microwave spectroscopy, infrared and Raman, electronic spectroscopy of atoms and molecules, luminescence, photoelectron to chiroptical spectroscopy are described.
The subsequent chapters cover magnetic resonance ( NMR, ESR, and NQR ), Mossbauer and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Also included is a chapter on molecular mass spectrometry, which is perhaps the most widely applied analytical tool. A wide range of worked examples describe how spectra arise and what information on the identity and structure of the material can be derived from the spectra by pulling together the techniques discussed.
