Spectroscopic Methods in Inorganic Chemistry

Spectroscopic methods in inorganic chemistry involve analyzing the interaction of light with matter to study the properties of inorganic compounds. These techniques, such as infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, help identify chemical structures, bonding, and electron arrangements by measuring how substances absorb, emit, or scatter light. By examining these interactions, chemists can gain insights into the behavior and characteristics of various inorganic materials, aiding in fields like materials science, catalysis, and environmental chemistry.
