PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY eBOOK Quantum and Spectroscopy module
By LAIDLER, MEISER AND SANCTUARY
Chapter 1 comes with all the modules. The Quantum, Bonding and Spectroscopy Module covers chapters 11 to 14. You can see the detailed Table of Contents by clicking the "Contents" just above this text. Only available in dowload format, the quantum chapters cover all the basic ideas along with extensive applications and examples. Quantum mechanics is presented at the required level to give students the necessary background to understand bonding and spectroscopy. A chemical bond is 100% quantum and our study of bonding starts of with descriptions of the various types and the earlier treatments by Heitler and London. This leads directly to the Valence Bond and Molecular Orbital methods for small molecules. These are extended with more advanced treatment to give a firm footing in the most important branch of chemistry: bonding. Huckel theory is treated in detail with emphasis on the stabilizing effect of delocalized resonance bonds. The bonding chapter also covers hybrid bonds and symmetry in chemistry.
The various spectroscopies are our eyes on the microscopic world. Chapter 13 treats time depenedent perturbation theory followed by detailed discussions of rotational, ro-vibrational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. Chapter 14 deals with modern spectroscopy with emphasis on Lasers. Moreover, one dimensional and two dimensioinal NMR spectroscopy is treated in detail which goes beyond the usuall discussions by clearly explaining modern pulsed NMR and some sequences such as COSY, NOESY and TOCSY. A summary of other modern spectroscopic techniques is also provided with examples all the way down to attosecond time scales.
The multimedia is extensive in the chapters 11 and 12, with, for example, dynamic plotting of the vibrational wave functions; the radial distribution wave functions, as well as clear movies of hydrogen bonding, to list a few. The user can listen to explanations and interact with the eBook. These allow students to get a good foundation and working knowledge of quantum, bonding and spectroscopy that will see them through graduate school.
