Interpretation of IR and Raman Spectra provides the fundamentals ofinterpreting IR and Raman spectra of complex molecules primarilyorganic molecules. Examinations of theory provide a basis forpredicting functional group frequency location in new molecularstructures. * Generously enriched with sample exercises to help rapidlydevelop powerful interpretive skills. * Includes appendices with fourteen bibliographies by subjectarea.

This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.This is a laboratory text for the mainstream organic chemistry course taught at both two and four year schools, featuring both microscale experiments and options for scaling up appropriate experiments for use in the macroscale lab. It provides complete coverage of organic laboratory experiments and techniques with a strong emphasis on modern laboratory instrumentation, a sharp focus on safety in the lab, thorough Discussion sections which provide chemical context for each experiment, and multi-step experiments. Notable enhancements to the 6th edition include a greater focus on the implementation of greener processes (including microwave use) to perform traditional experimentation, and movement of material to the text web site, to further streamline the text.
