Short description
The 6th edition of this classic work comprises the most comprehensive guide to Infrared and Raman spectra of inorganic, organometallic, bioinorganic, and coordination compounds. From fundamental theories of vibrational spectroscopy to applications in a variety of compound types, the Sixth Edition has been thoroughly updated with the most relevant topics. Part A of this two-volume work describes basic theories of normal vibrations including the method of normal coordinate analysis, resonance Raman spectroscopy, and vibrational analysis of crystals in clear and precise terms, and applies them to relatively simple inorganic compounds. It incorporates new topics such as the theoretical calculations of vibrational frequencies(DFT method), chemical synthesis by matrix co-condensation reactions, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, high-pressure spectroscopy, isotope separation of U235 and U238 by laser irradiation, C60 and other fullerenes, endo and exo-hedral fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes. It provides many infrared and Raman spectral charts of typical compounds. Part B describes in detail applications of Raman and IR spectroscopy to larger and complex systems. It covers interactions of cisplatin and other metallodrugs (anticancer drugs) with DNA and includes information on cytochrome c oxidase and peroxidase.
