Description: This book is an invaluable reference tool for physicists, astrophysicists, physical chemists, and spectroscopists, and an important textbook for graduate courses on the spectroscopy of molecules.
This book represents the most comprehensive treatment available on the analysis and interpretation of high resolution, microwave rotational spectra of gaseous molecules. It reflects many exciting new developments in microwave spectroscopy, and focuses on subtle new techniques that have improved the sensitivity and resolving power of microwave spectrometers as well as their applicability to new types of spectra. It discusses the recent detection of the microwave spectra of nonpolar, spherical-top molecules and details advances in microwave molecular ion spectroscopy, as well as the observation of rotational spectra of weak, hydrogen-bonded complexes and rare gas atom-molecule complexes (van der Waals molecules).
