The Sixth Edition of this classic work comprises the most comprehensive and current 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, this has been extensively updated. New topics include the theoretical calculations of vibrational frequencies (DFT method), chemical synthesis by matrix co-condensation reactions, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, and more. This volume is a core reference for chemists and medical professionals working with infrared or Raman spectroscopies and an excellent textbook for graduate courses.

The 6th edition of this classic 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, it is extensively updated. Part B details applications of Raman and IR spectroscopy to larger and complex systems. It covers interactions of cisplatin and other metallodrugs with DNA and cytochrome c oxidase and peroxidase. This is a great reference for chemists and medical professionals working with infrared or Raman spectroscopies and for graduate students.

The most comprehensive guide to infrared and Raman spectra of inorganic and coordination compounds-now fully revised and updated This book has served as the definitive guide to infrared and Raman spectroscopy of inorganic and coordination compounds from the time of its first publication in 1963. The Fifth Edition consists of two self-contained volumes: Part A describes basic theories of normal vibrations and their applications to relatively simple inorganic compounds, while Part B extends them to larger and more complex systems-coordination compounds, organometallic compounds, and bioinorganic compounds. Part B shows how one can deduce structural and bonding information from vibrational spectra. For this purpose, the compounds have been classified into each structural type, their vibrational frequencies and band assignments listed, and typical infrared/Raman spectra illustrated. Special emphasis has been placed on metal-ligand vibrations that appear in the low-frequency region. This new edition * Incorporates new topics, including complexes of carbon dioxide and dihydrogen and metal complex-DNA interactions * Offers many references to the latest research in the field * Reviews all important new results obtained on the subject * Provides many infrared and Raman spectral charts of typical compounds * Features 156 illustrations This is the best reference book for researchers and graduate students in this field today. Also Available: Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic and Coordination Compounds, 5th Edition, Part A: Theory and Applications in Inorganic Chemistry, 1997 0-471-16394-5

The most comprehensive guide to infrared and Raman spectra of inorganic and coordination compounds--now fully revised and updated Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic and Coordination Compounds has always provided fundamental theories of vibrational spectroscopy in a condensed form and their applications to inorganic and coordination compounds. The Fifth Edition continues to cover these theories and applications, which have been updated by adding many new topics, figures, tables, and references. 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 while leaving the applications to larger and more complex systems to Part B. This new edition * Incorporates new topics such as the correlation method, lattice vibrations, ceramic superconductors, and carbon clusters such as buckminsterfullerene * Offers numerous references to the recent research in the field * Reviews significant new literature on the subject * Provides many infrared and Raman spectral charts of typical compounds * Features 116 illustrations * Contains appendices consisting of tables, charts, and supplementary information Used independently or in combination with Part B, this is an excellent textbook for graduate-level course work, and the most comprehensive reference book available for researchers in the fields of vibrational spectroscopy, inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry. Also Available: Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic and Coordination Compounds, 5th Edition, Part B: Applications in Coordination, Organometallic, and Bioinorganic Chemistry, 1997 0-471-16392-9
