Synopses & Reviews
The only resource to provide comprehensive instructors notescomplete with classroom-proven exercisesfrom the influential Bowdoin College Summer IR Course
For over half a century, the immensely popular MIT/Bowdoin College summer course on infrared spectroscopycofounded by Foil Miller in 1950, and taught by Dana Mayo since 1959 and Robert Hannah since 1962has been the only continuously conducted summer course on its subject. This world-renowned short course has had a major impact on the application of IR spectroscopy, providing thousands of practitioners and academics with the knowledge they need to successfully interpret IR spectra, identify materials more rapidly, and successfully solve spectral problems encountered in the real world.
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
Course Notes on the Interpretation of Infrared and Raman Spectra provides todays 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.
Synopsis
- Includes appendices with fourteen bibliographies by subject area.
Synopsis
Feste, fl ssige oder Dampfphase, reiner Stoff oder L sung: Die IR-Spektroskopie ist mittlerweile auf Proben aller Art anwendbar, und die Probenmenge darf im Pikogrammbereich liegen. Wie man insbesondere IR- und Raman-Spektren gro er Molek le auswertet und interpretiert, zeigt dieses in seiner Art einmalige Werk, das als Arbeitsanleitung und Nachschlagewerk gleicherma en geeignet ist. An vielen Beispielen kann der Leser sich in der Interpretation von Spektren ben. Im Anhang findet sich eine ausf hrliche Bibliographie, ansprechend geordnet nach 14 Spezialgebieten.
Synopsis
Interpretation of IR and Raman Spectra provides the fundamentals of interpreting IR and Raman spectra of complex molecules primarily organic molecules. Examinations of theory provide a basis for predicting functional group frequency location in new molecular structures.
- Generously enriched with sample exercises to help rapidly develop powerful interpretive skills.
- Includes appendices with fourteen bibliographies by subject area.
