Summary

Summary

This book teaches the analyst why it is advantageous to obtain vibrational data under different physical phases. Molecular vibrations are affected by change in physical phase, and knowledge of how certain molecular vibrations are affected by change in the chemical environment improves the analyst's ability to solve complex chemical problems.This book is invaluable for students and scientists engaged in analytical and organic chemistry, since application of IR and Raman spectroscopy is essential in identifying and verifying molecular structure.This reference provides analysts with information that enables them to acquire the maximum amount of information when sampling molecular vibrations via IR and Raman spectroscopy.


Author Notes

Richard A. Nyquist has been recognized for his contributions to the field of Spectroscopy and Analytical Chemistry with the following awards: Williams-Wright Award from the Coblentz Society, ANACHEM Award from the Association of Analytical Chemists, V.A. Stenger Award and Water Graf European Award from Dow Chemical Company, and the ASTM Award of Appreciation. He was also named an honorary member of the Coblentz Society, and was a national tour speaker for the Society of Applied Spectroscopy. Nyquist received his B.S. in Chemistry from Augustan College, Rock Island, Illinois, his M.S. from Oklahoma State University, and his Ph.D. from Utrecht University, The Netherlands. He is currently president of Nyquist Associates, and is the author or co-author of over 160 scientific articles including books, book chapters, and patents.

Choice Review

Nyquist's two-volume set on the interpretation of IR, Raman, and NMR spectra includes emphasis on how the spectra are affected by the physical environment (solid, liquid, vapor, solution). The author, an award-winning industrial spectroscopist, does not state the intended audience for this work, but it is clear that it would be most suitable for research faculty and upper-level graduate students. Volume 1 contains a short explanation of the theory of vibrational spectra and detailed descriptions of the IR and Raman spectra of the common classes of organic compounds under various physical environments. Volume 2 concentrates on the factors that cause shifts in IR, Raman, and NMR spectra. These are much more reference than textbooks; they are packed with tables and graphs of vibrational frequencies and spectra. There is a minimum of teaching text, and the data are plentiful and extremely detailed. Highly recommended as a reference work and a handbook of data. Graduate students through professionals. J. A.
