Introduction to Spectroscopy by Donald L. Pavia

Product Details

About the Book

Introduction to Spectroscopy is the textbook that has set the unrivaled standard in spectroscopy education for more than thirty years, offering students a comprehensive, systematic introduction to spectra and the theoretical concepts behind the major spectroscopic methods used in organic chemistry. Written by Donald L. Pavia along with co-authors Gary M. Lampman, George S. Kriz, and James R. Vyvyan, the book works equally well as the primary text for an upper-level spectroscopy course or as a companion text alongside a standard organic chemistry course.

The book provides thorough, methodical coverage of the four major techniques used to determine molecular structure: infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, walking students from foundational theory through to genuine spectral interpretation skill. Recent editions include a modernized treatment of one-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, updated coverage of biological molecules in mass spectrometry, and modern multidimensional NMR techniques including DEPT, COSY, and HETCOR, alongside updated spectra and detailed appendices covering mass spectral fragmentation patterns and isotopic abundance ratios. Known among generations of chemistry students simply as "the spectroscopy bible," the book pairs dense theoretical grounding with extensive practice spectra and problems, helping students build real, lasting confidence in interpreting IR, NMR, and mass spectra.
