Description

Foundations of Molecular Structure Determination gives a broad introduction to a range of common spectroscopic and diffraction methods, with frequent worked examples and problem questions provided to assist beginning undergraduates in developing their structure analysis skills.

  • Covers a range of techniques for structure determination, including spectroscopic (microwave, IR, UV, and NMR), spectrometric (mass spectrometry), and diffraction (electron, x-ray, and neutron) techniques.
  • Focused introductions designed to give students an in-depth understanding of a diverse range of important topics in modern chemistry.
  • Examples and applications presented throughout help students to see the relevance of the subject to current research, industry, and medicine.
  • Questions at the end of every chapter and interactive online questions encourage active learning and promote deep understanding.
  • Frequent diagrams, margin notes, and glossary definitions support students in their learning.

New to this edition

  • Glossary of definitions to help students get to grips with the key terminology.
  • New sections on techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, and neutron and electron diffraction.
  • Online Resource Centre, with interactive questions for students, and downloadable figures for instructors.
  • CIF data files are also available to download, allowing students to electronically manipulate three-dimensional structures mentioned in the book.
