Handbook of Molecular Spectroscopy. From Radio Waves to Gamma Rays provides a straightforward and comprehensive coverage of the common spectroscopic techniques and interpretation of spectra, and their applications to organic and inorganic based systems. The underlying quantum mechanical principles and applications of major modern spectroscopic techniques spanning from microwave spectroscopy, infrared and Raman, electronic spectroscopy of atoms and molecules, luminescence, photoelectron to chiroptical spectroscopy are described.||About the Author||D.N.
