Introduction
1.1 TWO-DIMENSIONAL SPECTROSCOPY
An intriguing idea was put forward in the field of NMR spectroscopy about
30 years ago that, by spreading spectral peaks over the second dimension, one
can simplify the visualization of complex spectra consisting of many overlapped
peaks. It became possible for the spectral intensity to be obtained as a function
of two independent spectral variables. Following this conceptual breakthrough, an
impressive amount of progress has been made in the branch of science now known
as two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy. While traditional field of 2D spectroscopy
is still dominated by NMR and other resonance spectroscopy methods, lately
a very different form of 2D spectroscopy applicable to many other types of
spectroscopic techniques is also emerging. This ... read full excerpt from Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy: Applications in Vibrational and Optical Spectroscopy ebook
