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.

Understanding NMR Spectroscopy
James Keeler's note on NMR spectroscopy is rather solid in presenting principles of NMR along with its application to chemical structure analysis. It covers key topics like energy levels involved in NMR, the vector model, Fourier transformation, and data processing. The note explains how NMR spectrometers work and introduces more advanced techniques like two-dimensional NMR, which permits the analysis of far more detailed complex molecular structures. Additional topics covered include relaxation processes, phase cycling, and gradient pulses to give a full understanding of NMR spectroscopy to students and researchers looking to master this powerful analytical tool.
