IR and Raman spectroscopy continue to be the essential and valuable techniques in the elucidation of molecular structure, spectrum-structure identification, qualitative and quantitative analyses, and in process control. The extremely useful Electronic Handbook of Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic Compounds and Organic Salts provides an extremely useful guide for chemists who need both a spectral database and specific routines for spectrum analysis. Containing comprehensive information from the authors' extensive lifetime research, this CD-ROM is an essential reference for industrial and academic researchers and their libraries. With the ability to undertake spectra analog searches, and to assist in identifying unknown entities, analytical chemists, molecular spectroscopists, materials scientists (especially polymer scientists), chemical engineers, environmentalists, geologists, and others involved in analyzing a wide range of inorganic compounds and organic salts will want to keep The Electronic Handbook within easy reach. It is a "must" for pharmaceutical and chemical companies, as well as for industrial and academic libraries, laboratories, and working groups. Key Features* Relational Database: The Electronic Handbook combines Volumes 1-4 of the print version into an interactive database of spectra;In this form, users can access all associated information for each spectra and compound* Reversible Forms of Spectra: An important advance over the hardcopy representation, The Electronic Handbook provides convertibility in the forms of spectra, particularly regarding absorbence and transmittance * Display Presentation of Spectra: Single-pane and multi-pane environments are used for spectra visualization and manipulation;Pan and Zoom features, as well as selective spectrum coloring are contained in a set of visualization tools* Manipulation of Spectra: Tools to manipulate spectra are important for making comparisons between spectra of known and unknown compounds, and are an integral part of the Electronic Handbook* Spreadsheet Logs: Analysis of spectra can be recorded and saved in a spreadsheet;The user can create a specific wavenumber log from an experimental spectrum and use it as an overlay on known spectra for identification purposes * Data Export: Lists of spectra and compounds can be printed or exported to the Clipboard or to a text file
