While many books available on NIR cover a range of applications and topics from a broad perspective, most of them barely touch on structure correlation and interpretation of spectra. Practical Guide to Interpretive Near Infrared Spectroscopy provides the tools necessary for interpreting NIR spectra. Organized by functional group type and chemical structure, chapters provide with NIR absorption band assignments, overlapping spectra, and structural information for a broad range of functional groups, organic compounds, and polymers. The book includes extensive tables, charts, and figures as well as comprehensive appendices with spectra-structure correlations, example spectra, and more.
