This publication introduces the basics of these methods and explains how they can be used to measure the size of molecules and aggregates, to determine degree of polymerization and to solve other chemical problems.
Supplied with many. Over recent years, a number of powerful two-dimensional NMR techniques e. This work elucidates the power of modern nuclear magnetic resonance NMR techniques to solve a wide range of practical problems that arise in both academic and industrial settings. This edition provides current information regarding the implementation and interpretation of NMR experiments, and contains material on: three- and four-dimensional NMR;.
Over recent years, a number of powerful two—dimensional NMR techniques e. Clear, accessible coverage of modern NMR spectroscopy-for students and professionals in many fields of science Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectroscopy has made quantum leaps in the last decade, becoming a staple tool in such divergent fields as chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, and medicine. That is why it is essential. While it. Linington,Philip G. PAGES — Until the midth century, most organic compounds were distinguished from one another largely on the basis of simple physical and chemical properties.
Chemists had no way to see what molecules looked like because molecules are so small that no device such as a microscope could be developed that would give a complete image of a molecular structure. One technique, X-ray crystallography, can give precise structural data for some molecules, but only those that can be obtained in solid, crystalline form. Normally, a full X-ray structure determination is a costly, time-consuming endeavor that is applied to only the most puzzling structures.
Spectroscopy is a general term used for the instrumental processes by which information about the molecular structure is obtained through careful analysis of the absorption, scattering, or emission of electromagnetic radiation by compounds.
Electromagnetic radiation is the continuous spectrum of energy-bearing waves ranging from extremely short waves, such as high-energy X-rays, to very long, low-energy waves such as radio waves. COM does no longer owns this book neither created nor scanned.
Joseph R. Lakowicz has published over scientific articles, has edited numerous books, holds 16 issued patents, and is the author of the widely used text, Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy now in its 3 rd edition. Tsien, Ph. Clegg, Ph. It should be the number one item on the shopping list for any student or researcher involved in any aspect of fluorescence, be it as a biologist who does some microscopy, or a chemist synthesizing novel fluorophores.
It is well structured, starting with basic knowledge about the phenomena of fluorescence and ending with the latest applications. The updated 3rd edition with its appealing design and its absolutely up-to-date and, nevertheless, complete treatment of fluorescence spectroscopy makes it essential for everyone working in this field.

In my case, MS was very important so my rating is lower - in truth, probably 3. If this was not necessary for you, then probably a 4 or even a 5 would be appropriate. It is relevant. It does a good job with the fundamental theory behind most of the analytical techniques and instrumentation, and these are timeless.
It does cover the details of applications to the specific historical development of instruments and how newer instruments and techniques addressed issues with older approaches. As some areas will develop faster than others, it might be necessary to supplement with articles if a particular cutting edge approach in HP-LC was desired, for instance.
Yes, very easy to read. Students should be able to read it and learn from it. Yes, vocabulary words are defined, and there is no unexplained jargon. Yes, there is a high degree of internal consistency. No problems noted, such as when one chapter seems to take after one approach and different chapter, another, due to differences in the way each sub-field handles a certain concept. Maybe too much foreshadowing?
For example, chapter 12A gives an overview of separations, and 12A4 gives an intro to electrophoresis. But once you get used to it, it is not a problem. Yes the topics are organized in an appropriate manner so that one topic builds off of the next. For example chromatography chapter 12 follows and builds off of liquid-liquid extractions chapter 7. Some chapters could be moved around as desired, but his order makes sense.
Everything displayed fine, even if I resized the window. I didn't as I assume my students will try to read this on my cellphone or smartwatch, and can make no guarantees about that. Everything looked good to me. No noticeable errors, and certainly none that impacted understanding.
The text is culturally neutral. The text covers chemistry and chemical techniques. Most of the end of chapter questions deal strictly with analysis of data. Some of these are written in such a way to make it a-cultural not "Jose wishes to monitor" but "You have been asked to monitor". Many of these questions directly reference literature. I suppose someone could argue that the literature is dominated by dead White European Males and so does not make adequate use of inclusive examples, and in that light I will give it a 4, but I prefer his approach and think it is far more appropriate.
I think the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. If I was asked to rate the book overall, I'd go a solid 4. The science is good, the writing is good, the graphics are good, the sample questions are good, and probably for most analytical chemistry classes, the content is appropriate because they cover the missing content IR, MS, etc. I do wish that some materials PowerPoints, test bank, etc.
The text includes all the relevant topics that are typically included in Introductory Analytical course work. Topics are discussed in enough detail to fill out the course without needing to add in too many additional sources. As a plus, an As a plus, an extensive and useful list of Additional Resources were provided at the end of the book, arranged by chapter and topic. The text is relatively easy to navigate using either the Brief Table of Contents and the Detailed Table of Contents both of which is readily accessible from every other page using hyperlinks.
While, no glossary or Index is provided, one could find easily specific terms using the Find function in Acrobat or other PDF reader. I did not find any factual mistakes in the sections that i studied, however a few typos were present and scattered throughout the text.
For the classic part of the textbook there were few problems and modern recommendations by IUPAC and other governing bodies were implemented throughout.
However, some of the technique descriptions could be updated. Such additions can easily be made though, or information can be supplemented by the instructor. I found this book to be much more approachable and it made for a far more engaging read than our current textbook Skoog. I liked the historical perspective and the practical introduction to each section, illustrated by using real life examples or problems.
While this textbook combines wider ranges of topics together in single chapters than I'm used to from comparable texts, it does make use of extensive subsections in each chapter. This actually serves to present the connections between techniques or applications that might otherwise become fragmented if they are locked away in separate chapters e.
The book is laid out in a fairly typical sequence, and follows my current lecture schedule very well. In fact, I would have to jump between chapters less than with our current textbook for this class. On a computer screen the pdf works very well with Acrobat, and with a slightly bigger desktop-screen, single page view worked great. On a 13" laptop this was still possible although text then became a little strenuous to read.
Navigation was easy using the Acrobat functionalities that were seamlessly integrated. I was easy to jump forward to a figure or other relevant section and then right back to where i had left off. The hyperlinks to the Table of Contents was also very useful to jump between sections with ease. There were minor typos throughout, but not overly frequently.
This, for the most part, did not detract from the book. The book called on examples from a variety of possible application fields such as environmental, medicinal, industrial etc etc which will stimulate all students irrespective of their particular motivation to study chemistry.
This book conveys many important aspects of analytical chemistry that are often glossed over in other texts e. The author chose not to include interpretation of IR and The author chose not to include interpretation of IR and NMR because those topics are covered in detail in other courses i. Electrochemical methods are covered in greater detail than in other introductory analytical textbooks.
Additional Resources are provided for all chapters, and 18 appendices provide required data and information. The content is accurate, error-free, and unbiased. Several inconsequential typographical errors exist.
Most of the text covers time-honored content; explanations are clear and will not change with time. References to Excel and R software are vague enough to remain current; exact keystroke instructions would be quickly out of date. The text is written clearly in understandable prose. Terms and abbreviations are defined. Examples are worked and explained in great detail, showing all mathematical steps, followed by practice exercises and detailed answers.
Several basic tools and techniques are provided in Chapter 2 and used throughout the textbook. The consistency aids understanding and facilitates problem solving.
All chapters are written using the same format. The text is divided into 15 chapters, each of which contains major parts. Each part is further subdivided for ease of reading and finding material. The Table of Contents is detailed, very helpful, and links to the listed page.
The pdf format with numbered pages helps access desired locations. The textbook contains more material than can be covered in one semester and is designed to be tailored by the instructor.
The topics are arranged in the textbook in a logical, clear fashion. The text modularity allows the instructor to change the order if desired. Internet Explorer and Foxfire display the pdf text correctly; links work well; images are not distorted.
That is not the case when Chrome was used: text ran off the page, text appeared overlapped, some links did not work, not all text appeared. The scientific text contains no cultural references and is not offensive in any way.
