Molecular Spectroscopy by Rob Schurko

The main focus of this note is the various forms of optical spectroscopy, including rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, as well as a brief look at photoelectron spectroscopy and lasers. The note finishes with an introduction to radiofrequency spectroscopy techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance. The purpose of this note is to provide an advanced level undergraduate student in Chemistry or Physics with a general overview of molecular spectroscopy. Specifically, the underlying principles of spectroscopy are examined using quantum mechanics, the interaction of light and matter, and group theory as starting points.

NMR Spectroscopy Applications

NMR Spectroscopy Applications

This note aims to have a detailed explanation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy focusing on its applications in the study of molecular structure, especially proteins and other biomolecules. Key topics explored include the electromagnetic spectrum, the vector model of NMR, magnetization properties, and NMR excitation. The note further introduces advanced concepts like chemical shift, nuclear shielding, and spin-spin coupling as all forms necessary for interpreting NMR spectra. There have been introductions of multi-dimensional NMR techniques that use them in protein structure determination, and this book is very useful for researchers and students to understand the theoretical and applied aspects of NMR spectroscopy.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

This note focuses on the applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in clinical and non-clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts: MRS inside the clinic, such as imaging and analyzing metabolic processes in vivo, which will be presented in the first part of the book, and applications of MRS outside the clinic in fields including biochemistry, neuroscience, and pharmacology. As the note discusses both clinical and research applications, it allows for a very comprehensive look at how MRS can be used to probe biochemical and metabolic processes. This note would be an excellent resource for students and professionals in the medical and scientific communities.
