Table of Contents
Spectroscopy is the latest edition of the resourceful guide on
the fundamentals of spectroscopy that has set an unmatched standard for over 30
years.
Summary Of The Book
Spectroscopy is a reference text that deals with the newest advances in
spectroscopy. It includes an outstanding solid introduction to spectra, and
detailed explanations of the basic concepts involved in spectroscopic methods.
Some of the topics covered in the book include Infrared Spectroscopy, Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Molecular Formulas, Carbon-13 Spectra,
Spin-Spin Coupling, Ultraviolet Spectroscopy, Advanced NMR Techniques and Mass
Spectrometry. There are 10 Appendices in the book, and they include Some
Representative Chemical Shift Values for Various Types of Protons, Calculation
of Proton (1H) Chemical Shifts, 13C Coupling Constant, Common Fragment Ions
Under Mass 105, and Infrared Absorption Frequencies of Functional Groups.
This latest edition of Spectroscopy comes loaded with certain salient features
to update students on the latest technologies. Chapter six includes additional
techniques providing a modernized presentation of one-dimensional NMR
spectroscopy. Appendix 10 is the “Index of Spectra” that includes the newest
spectra techniques. Chapter eight now also includes an in-depth exploration of
biological molecules in mass spectrometry.
Other additional features include exhaustively updated spectrographs that are
created using the latest techniques so as to enhance presentation and accuracy.
Lapman’s Spectroscopy has been considered as one of the best resources for
students of spectroscopy for several years. This fourth edition also consists of
answers to numerous problems and covers modern techniques such as HECTOR, COSY,
and DEPT.
This book is an all-inclusive practical learning guide beneficial for those who
are new to spectroscopy as well as to those who are looking for a reliable text
on the subject.
