Demystifying Spectral Techniques in Bioinorganics

This book presents the key spectral techniques in bioinorganics detailing their role in the study of bioinorganic systems. After an introduction on the importance and aims it explores :- NMR: Structure and interactions of metal complexes.- UV-Visible Spectroscopy: Electronic properties of complexes.- Infrared spectroscopy: Vibrations of functional groups.- Raman spectroscopy: vibrational modes and metal interactions.- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy: Local structure of metal centers.- EPR: Analysis of paramagnetic centers.Each technique is illustrated by case studies followed by a glossary and a bibliography for further reading.
