Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy, Volume 2 covers the proceedings of the Fourth International Meeting on Molecular Spectroscopy. This volume is composed of 80 chapters that focus on numerous applications of various molecular spectroscopic techniques, particularly in the field of organic compound analysis. The techniques covered include UV absorption, fluorescence, IR spectroscopy. Various organic compounds evaluated include diphenylselenides, benzyl-phenyl-selenides, substituted benzophenones, hydrides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, methylhydroxylamines, methyl thiocyanate, poly aldehydes, and cycle-trimethylene trinitramine. This book is of value to analytical and organic chemists.

Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy, Volume 3 provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of inorganic molecules and complexes. This book covers a variety of topics, including infrared spectrum, polyatomic ions, infrared emissions, and Raman spectra. Organized into five parts encompassing 72 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the infrared spectrum of pyridine. This text then examines the results from studies of the infrared and Raman spectra of N2O4 in the solid and liquid phases at low temperatures. Other chapters consider the infrared spectrum of a mixture of N2O3 and N2O4, which has been studied in the liquid phase from 2 to 25 µ and in the solid phase from 2 to 35 µ, both at low temperatures. The final chapter describes the instrument developed for the measurement of rotatory dispersion and discusses some of the results obtained in the study of the complexes. This book is a valuable resource for chemists.

Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy, Volume 1 covers the proceedings of the Fourth Meeting of Molecular Spectroscopy, held in Bologna, Italy on September 7-12, 1959. This book is organized into three parts encompassing 69 chapters. The first part presents first some experimental and correlations studies on molecular structure, followed by discussions on the application of molecular spectroscopic techniques for molecular structure determination. Part II reviews experimental determination of Raman intensities, vibrations of aromatic rings, and IR spectra and electronic structure of various organic compounds. Part III considers the general theories on molecular spectroscopy. This topic is followed by surveys on electron energy, orbital valency, relations among potential energy of diatomic molecules, and determination of rotation structure. This book will be of value to molecular spectroscopists and analytical and organic chemists.
