Smith B.C. Quantitative Spectroscopy: Theory and Practice

2nd Edition. — Elsevier Science, Academic Press, California, USA 2002. — 213 p. — ISBN: 0126503583The quantitation of the concentrations of molecules in samples has long been an important application of spectroscopy. In the last two decades, advances in algorithms, computers, instruments, and software have led to a burgeoning of interest in this field. These developments mean samples and analytes that were once considered intractable are increasingly yielding usable calibrations. The purpose of this book is to give readers a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of modern quantitative spectroscopic analysis. This book is geared towards anyone using spectroscopic absorbance measurements to determine concentrations in unknown samples, and should appeal to users of infrared, near-infrared, and UV-Vis instruments.Fundamentals of Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy
