Symmetry and Spectroscopy: An Introduction to Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy

The text is divided into five comprehensive chapters addressing group theory, quantum mechanics, molecular orbital theory, and vibrational or electronic spectroscopy.

Each new concept is immediately applied to or illustrated with experimental results alongside a large number of relevant practice problems.

The book devotes significant attention to the interpretation and chemical significance of Raman, photoelectron, and ultraviolet-visible spectra.

This unabridged Dover publication features numerous helpful figures, line drawings, and detailed explanatory appendixes for all included problems.
