Advanced Spectroscopy

Advanced Spectroscopy is an academic textbook and reference work by Alka L. Gupta and Mukesh Kumar, published in print by Pragati Prakashan. It is aimed at undergraduate students, postgraduate scholars, researchers and professionals in chemistry and related chemical sciences. The book gives a systematic, concept-focused overview of modern spectroscopic principles, with an emphasis on interpreting analytical data and applying it to molecular characterization and structural determination.

It is meant to support both university curricula and preparation for advanced research. It stresses how spectroscopic methods are used in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical research and organic synthesis. The authors explain complex ideas in a structured, step-by-step sequence, combining logical reasoning with analytical data tables and practical examples that show how the techniques work in laboratory and industrial settings.

A central aim is to build the interpretative and problem-solving skills needed to work out complex molecular structures from raw spectral output. The book can serve as a course resource for advanced study and as a foundational reference for industrial chemists doing chemical characterization. A digital version is available through eBooks eLibrary.
