Course Notes on the Interpretation of Infrared and Raman Spectra

by Dana W. Mayo, Foil A. Miller, Robert W. Hannah

Overview

Interpretation of IR and Raman Spectra provides the fundamentals ofinterpreting IR and Raman spectra of complex molecules primarilyorganic molecules. Examinations of theory provide a basis forpredicting functional group frequency location in new molecularstructures.
* Generously enriched with sample exercises to help rapidlydevelop powerful interpretive skills.
* Includes appendices with fourteen bibliographies by subjectarea.
