INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS
Optical Spectroscopy Readings

Spring 2012


Readings in Skoog, Holler and Crouch


Chapter 6: pp. 132 - 159
  • Good discussion of EMR and its properties.
Chapter 13: pp. 336 - 362
  • Fundamentals of absorption spectrophotometry; this is the "guts" of what makes the method "tick" -- REVIEW ONLY
Chapter 7: pp. 164 - 211
  • Instrumentation details; don't need to go into excessive detail with respect to: filters, prisms, multichannel detectors, fiber optics, or multiplex methods
Chapter 14: pp. 367 - 390
  • Instrumentation and applications specific to UV/Vis spectrophotometry. REVIEW ONLY
Chapters 16 & 17: pp. 430 - 477
  • Instrumentation and applications specific to IR spectrophotometry. Skim sections 17B - 17G (pp. 469 - 477).
Chapters 8 & 9: pp. 215 - 251
  • Overview of atomic spectroscopy with emphasis on flame and electrothermal sources. We will be concerned with absorption and emission methods, so you can skip the section (9E) on fluorescence.
Chapter 10: pp. 254 - 276
  • Overview of modern atomic emission spectroscopy; no need to go into gory detail on all of the sources, just realize that the ICP is the source of choice for solution analyses.
Chapter 15: pp. 399 - 425
  • Molecular Luminescence Spectrometry - we will not cover phosphorescence (section 15C-3) or chemiluminescence (section 15D).
Chapter 18: pp. 481 - 495
  • Raman Spectroscopy - we will touch on most of what is presented here, although nonlinear methods (section 18D-3) will not be covered.
