Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive account of ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry as used in analytical chemistry. Theory, instrumentation, experimental methods and applications to both organic and inorganic qualitative and quantitative analysis are covered. Some aspects of spectrophotometry, especially instrumentation, have already been dealt with in Volume IV. Further applications in inorganic and nuclear chemistry will be published soon in another volume of the series. Four authors from Polish scientific institutions have joined forces to produce this text which covers the large and diverse topic. The subjects covered are given in sufficient detail so as to allow the book to be used directly, not only by professional analytical chemists, but also by those workers whose use of analytical methods is incidential to their work rather than continual. Where it is not possible to give details of methods, full reference to the pertinent original literature is given.
