This unified treatment introduces upper-level undergraduates and graduate students to the concepts and the methods of modern molecular spectroscopy and their applications to quantum electronics, lasers, and related optical phenomena. Starting with a review of quantum mechanical background, it examines atomic spectra and diatomic molecules, group theory, and more. 1985 edition.
Symmetry and Spectroscopy: An Introduction to Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy by Daniel C. Harris, Michael D. Bertolucci Informal, effective undergraduate-level text introduces vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, presenting applications of group theory to the interpretation of UV, visible, and infrared spectra. 200 problems with solutions. Numerous illustrations.
Molecular Vibrations: The Theory of Infrared and Raman Vibrational Spectra by E. Bright Wilson, Jr., J. C. Decius, Paul C. Cross Pedagogical classic and essential reference focuses on mathematics of detailed vibrational analyses of polyatomic molecules, advancing from application of wave mechanics to potential functions and methods of solving secular determinant.
Electron Correlation in Molecules by S. Wilson This text addresses one of theoretical chemistry's central problems. Topics include molecular electronic structure, independent electron models, electron correlation, the linked diagram theorem, and related topics. 1984 edition.
