Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds Volume 40 [Hardcover]

Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds: Techniques, Materials and Applications provides a unique source of information in an important area of chemistry. From Volume 40 of this series the nature and ethos have been altered to reflect a change of emphasis towards 'Techniques, Materials and Applications'. Researchers will now find up-to-date reviews which provide in-depth analyses of the leading work in these growing areas. Focus areas will include structure-function relationships, photochemistry and spectroscopy of inorganic complexes, and catalysis; materials such as ceramics, cements, pigments, glasses and corrosion products; techniques such as advanced laser spectroscopy and theoretical methods. This volume's chapters cover vibrational, EPR, NQR, photoelectron and UV/Vis spectroscopies, and electron and X-ray diffraction techniques.Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds: Techniques, Materials and Applications provides a unique source of information in an important area of chemistry.Front matter;Contents;Preface;Raman spectroscopy of inorganic materials in art and archaeology: spectroscopic analysis of historical mysteries;Spectroscopic properties and lattice dynamics of ferroelectric and related functional oxide ceramics;Raman spectroscopy of cementitious materials;Optical spectroscopy of silicates and glasses;Optical spectroscopy of liquids in and near inorganic oxides;Simulation of spectroscopic properties of inorganic compounds using modern modelling procedures;Photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum mechanical calculations of organometallic complexes;Characterisation of photochemically formed reactive species from kinetic and thermodynamic data using UV-Vis.
