Handbook of Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic Compounds and Organic Salts: Volume 1 - Text and Explanations

by Richard A. Nyquist, Curtis L. Putzig, M. Anne Leugers

This four-volume handbook presents unique data of infrared and Raman spectra that are extremely useful for the analysis of inorganic compounds and organic salts. The spectra charts as presented in the volumes may be used to facilitate spectra-structure identification of most compounds, while cross-indexing of data allows for easy comparison of infrared and Raman spectra of the same compound. This comprehensive four-volume set, based on the authors' extensive lifetime research, is an essential reference for industrial and academic researchers and their libraries. Analytical chemists, molecular spectroscopists, materials scientists (especially polymer scientists), chemical engineers, environmentalists, geologists, and others involved in analyzing a wide range of inorganic compounds and organic salts will want to keep the Handbook within easy reach. This set is a "must" for pharmaceutical and chemical companies, as well as for industrial and academic libraries.

Infrared spectroscopy is the study of the infrared radiation characteristically absorbed by molecular substances. It indicates the presence of heteroatomic elements and functional groups in molecules. Raman spectroscopy is the study of radiant energy scattered inelastically when a sample is irradiated with an intense beam of monochromatic light, usually from a laser. Both Infrared and Raman spectra are extremely useful in the structural determination and identification of inorganic compounds and organic salts.
