Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, Second Edition, provides a solid introduction to vibrational spectroscopy with an emphasis on developing critical interpretation skills. The primary goal is to fully integrate the use of both IR and Raman spectroscopy as spectral interpretation tools. This approach enables the user to utilize the strength of both techniques while also recognizing their weaknesses. This second edition more than doubles the amount of interpreted IR and Raman spectra standards and spectral unknowns. The chapter on characteristic group frequencies is expanded to include discussions of carbon materials (Raman), expands the discussion of inorganics/minerals, and also discusses crystal lattice vibrations (low frequency/THz). These additions accommodate the growing use of vibrational spectroscopy for process analytical monitoring, nanomaterial investigations, and structural and identity determinations to an increasing user base in both industry and academia.
