Overview

This book provides a straightforward introduction to the spectroscopy of polyatomic inorganic and organic molecules for master's degree courses. This text will be useful to students of chemistry, physics, geology and life sciences. br>Following a general introduction to the subject, each chapter lays down the essential group theory and atomic spectroscopy required to understand molecular spectroscopy. Chapters describe the various branches of spectroscopy: rotational, rotational-vibrational, infrared, Raman, electronic, luminescence, photoelectron and chiroptical spectroscopy. Later chapters are devoted to magnetic resonance (NMR, ESR and NQR), Mossbauer and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Also included is a chapter on analytical molecular mass spectrometry. A wide range of examples are used to describe how spectra arise and what information on the composition and structure of molecules can be acquired from their study.
