Handbook of Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic Compounds and Organic Salts, Four-Volume Set - Tapa dura

This excellent resource on infrared and Raman spectra of a very large number of inorganic compounds and organic salts, including some nonionic inorganic compounds, is especially important since it has a compendium of Raman spectra that is otherwise not available. The first volume contains a well-written discussion of the experimental and theoretical aspects as well as vibrational assignments....An excellent, first-class publication. It should be useful to upper-division undergraduates; graduate students; and researchers and faculty.

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, andothers 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.
