Vibrational Spectra and Structure of Polyatomic Molecules

Vibrational Spectra and Structure of Polyatomic Molecules is a comprehensive textbook written by Ta You Wu that covers the principles of molecular vibrational spectroscopy and their application to the study of polyatomic molecules. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part introducing the basic principles of molecular vibrations, including the harmonic oscillator model and the anharmonic effects. The second part covers the experimental techniques used to obtain vibrational spectra, including infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as well as the interpretation of these spectra in terms of molecular structure and bonding. The final part of the book focuses on the application of vibrational spectroscopy to the study of specific classes of polyatomic molecules, including diatomic molecules, triatomic molecules, and larger molecules such as hydrocarbons and proteins. The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemistry, physics, and related fields, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of molecular structure and spectroscopy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
