Assists analytical chemists and spectroscopists who operaTe UV, visible and IR spectrometers in making the most efficient use of the computers and programs supplied with their instruments. The main areas covered are identification of materials from their IR spectra by computer band match and expert systems, data manipulation and "combined techniques", computer methods in quantitative analysis, and the status of user written software.

This advanced level text documents a range of recent developments in computer methods which have led to considerable advances in molecular spectroscopy (UV, Visible and IR) and consequently led to a massive increase in the applications of spectroscopic methods to new problems. It is written by leading experts and fulfils a real need for more information on the subject. Computer Methods in UV, Visible and IR Spectroscopy covers the following two main areas and also provides essential practical examples: Identification of materials from their IR spectra by computer band match and expert systems; Data Manipulation and `combined techniques'. This book will assist operators of UV, Visible and IR spectrometers to make the most efficient use of the computers and programs supplied with their instruments.
