Riassunto:

Testo informale ed efficace di livello universitario che introduce la spettroscopia vibrazionale ed elettronica, presentando applicazioni della teoria dei gruppi all'interpretazione degli spettri UV, visibili e infrarossi senza presupporre un elevato livello di conoscenza di base. 200 problemi con soluzioni. Numerose illustrazioni. Un trattamento uniforme e coerente dell'argomento. Journal of Chemical Education.
