Molecular Rotational Spectroscopy
http://192.207.64.1/somsak/2302633/2302633-Chapter3-6.pdf
A lecture handout on rotational spectroscopy of a diatomic molecule and a linear polyatomic molecule.

Rotational Raman Spectroscopy
http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/~hmc/tlab/605/html/introduction01.htm
Online practical on rotational raman spectroscopy with interactive applets showing J+2 and J-2 lines, changes with temperature, centrifugal distortion and gives labels for all the lines.

Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Software

ComSpec3D
www2.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/services/vrmlvib/vib_intro.html
Interactive software that simulates the infrared absorption and Raman scattering spectra of molecules containing main group elements.

WebMO
www.webmo.net
Freeware that provides a graphical user interface for popular electronic structure software (such as GAUSSIAN, GAMESS, and MOPAC). The computational engine must run on a UNIX server, but the WebMO interface allows for users to generate input and obtain output from any networked computer. Depending on the capability of the server application, vibrational and electronic spectra may be simulated.

Online Programs for Spectroscopy
www.spec-online.de/
Interactive aids for interpretation of IR and NMR spectra of organic compounds.

Spectroscopic Simulator
http://chemcollective.org/activities/simulations/spectro
Simulation of rotational-vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules.
