Basic Molecular Spectroscopy

BASIC Molecular Spectroscopy discusses the utilization of the Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC) programming language in molecular spectroscopy. The book is comprised of five chapters that provide an introduction to molecular spectroscopy through programs written in BASIC. The coverage of the text includes rotational spectra, vibrational spectra, and Raman and electronic spectra. The book will be of great use to students who are currently taking a course in molecular spectroscopy. "This book has the aim of providing an introduction to molecular spectroscopy whilst making extensive use of computer programs written in BASIC to provide practical examples and illustrations of the topics under consideration. The book is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates in Chemistry and Physics taking an introductory course in molecular spectroscopy, however, it should also serve as a source book for more advanced undergraduates and those who use molecular spectroscopy as a practical tool"--Preface Content: Butterworths BASIC Series , Page ii Front Matter , Page iii Copyright , Page iv Preface , Pages v-vi Chapter 1 - Introduction to BASIC , Pages 1-13 Chapter 2 - The quantum treatment of molecules , Pages 14-36 Chapter 3 - Rotational spectra , Pages 37-61 Chapter 4 - Vibrational spectra , Pages 62-105 Chapter 5 - Raman and electronic spectra , Pages 106-133 Appendix 1 , Pages 134-135 Index , Pages 137-144
