Introduction to Spectroscopy

by Donald L. Pavia, Gary M. Lampman, George S. Kriz

Gain an understanding of the latest advances in spectroscopy with the text that has set the unrivaled standard for more than 30 Pavia/Lampman/Kriz/Vyvyan's INTRODUCTION TO SPECTROSCOPY, 4e. This comprehensive resource provides an unmatched systematic introduction to spectra and basic theoretical concepts in spectroscopic methods that create a practical learning resource whether you're an introductory student or someone who needs a reliable reference text on spectroscopy. This well-rounded introduction features updated spectra; a modernized presentation of one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; the introduction of biological molecules in mass spectrometry; and inclusion of modern techniques alongside DEPT, COSY, and HECTOR. Count on this book's exceptional presentation to provide the comprehensive coverage you need to understand today's spectroscopic techniques.

I learned about mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy with it.

A great book for beginners to Spectroscopy.
Thankfully, it was a prescribed book for my B.Sc. Chemistry Honours course and truthfully I enjoyed every Spectroscopy class thanks to this book.
The table on pg. 29 is so comprehensive and thorough that IR spectroscopy became a breeze.
The way things are explained is easy to follow and the tables and spectral analysis boxes are really helpful.
A couple of days before the examination, I was tense and nervous, but as soon as I picked up this book again (there was a gap as I had been preparing for the lab sessions and had lost touch), I felt everything come back to me.
Needless to say, I felt the questions in the examination to be easier compared to the ones in this book and could easily interpret the given data and draw the required structures (and my knowledge of Gaussian helped too!). I am really grateful that my professors chose this book as one of the references.

هذا مقدمة في التعريف بكيفية استخدام الأجهزة لتشخيص والتعرف على المركبات العضوية. يحوي مسائل عدة لفهم المبدأ. ولكنه يبقى مجرد مقدمة، لا يمكن به وحده حل المسائل الصعبة. ولا ينقص هذا من قيمته للدارس المبتدئ.

تجربتي كانت مع الطبعة الثالثة للكتاب،ولا أدري عن حال أية طبعات لاحقة.

This book is absolutely fantastic. Recommended to everyone who wants to learn the practical aspects of many spectroscopic techniques.

will need to revisit when i take advanced spectroscopy but gave a solid foundation for my o-chem course

The book 'Spectroscopy" by Pavia is a sea of information when it comes to learning all about the topic. If you know nothing about spectroscopy and you want to start from scratch knowledge then this book is the best to build strong foundation. As you advance through the chapters you can master the concepts with enough of practice questions given at the end of every chapter. Interpreting IR, NMR and Mass spectra would become fun by developing good bond with this book. This book is highly recommended as once I lost confidence in interpreting spectra, it helped me revive that lost confidence.

The Bible of Spectroscopy. I hated this book as an undergrad because I found it tedious but by senior year I had used it for several courses and it never left my bag. I keep it in my office to this day.

A good reference for understanding spectroscopic techniques.
