Vibrational Spectroscopy: From Theory to Applications
Compendium of IR and Raman spectroscopy!
Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the fundamental tool widely employed in the
physico-chemical, material, natural, medical and pharmacological sciences.
The book describes basic techniques of Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman
scattering spectroscopies. The textbook is complemented by an extensive set of experiments
which can be conducted by broadly available as well as advanced instrumentation.
After discussion of present theoretical approaches, instrumentation, data handling that
explain the phenomenon of vibrational spectroscopy, the book reports new and exciting
experiments and applications of the many fascinating spectroscopic effects. They can serve
as a basis of several laboratory courses in the field of optical spectroscopy, physical
chemistry as well as in specialised panels of medical chemistry, materials science and
analytics in the broadest sense. Each exercise is preceded by a description of
fundamentals required to understand a research problem. Lab practicals illustrate the
application of the given vibrational spectroscopy technique as well as provide a detailed
method to solve research problems, which can be introduced to a research, industrial and
quality control laboratories.
The authors of the book are specialists in the field of infrared and Raman
spectroscopy, for years introducing new courses for a wide panel of the educational offer
and conducting research using vibrational spectroscopy.
The manual is designed for students of chemistry, environmental protection, biophysics,
medical and life sciences universities. Undoubtedly it will be also helpful in analytical
laboratories.
