Preface

Today, spectroscopy is the most widely used tool for determining and analyzing molecular structures. As a result, understanding spectroscopy has become essential for all organic chemistry students. The book covers an introduction to electromagnetic radiation, UV-visible, infrared, Raman, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy, as well as a discussion on the field of spectroscopy, structural analysis, and problem-solving techniques.

The material of this book is structured in such a way that students may progressively get a comprehensive understanding of the said approaches. The book contains several illustrated diagrams, including spectra and diagrams of the instruments used in the studied approaches. A few chapters also discuss the solved problems.

The material has been given in a thorough, lucid, and methodical manner that is simple to grasp. I feel that learning via problem-solving techniques instills skills and gives a good grasp of the topic

We drew material for this book from a variety of sources, including review articles, spectroscopic reference works, spectrum catalogues, and other publications. Although individual acknowledgement is not possible, I take great delight in expressing my gratitude to all contributors to the aforementioned source.
