CONCEPTS AND METHODS OF 2D
INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
2D infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a cutting-edge technique, with applications in
subjectsasdiverseastheenergysciences,biophysicsandphysicalchemistry.This
bookintroducestheessentialconceptsof2DIRspectroscopystep-by-steptobuild
anintuitiveandin-depthunderstandingofthemethod.
Taking a unique approach, this book outlines the mathematical formalism in a
simple manner, examines the design considerations for implementing the meth-
ods in the laboratory, and contains working computer code to simulate 2D IR
spectra and exercises to illustrate the concepts involved. Readers will learn how
to accurately interpret 2D IR spectra, design their own spectrometer and invent
their own pulse sequences. It is an excellent starting point for graduate stu-
dents and researchers new to this exciting field. Computer codes and answers
to the exercises can be downloaded from the authors’ website, available at
www.cambridge.org/9781107000056.
PETER HAMM is a Professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, University
ofZurich.
MARTIN ZANNI is Meloche-Bascom Professor in the Department of Chemistry,
UniversityofWisconsin-Madison.
They specialize in using 2D IR spectroscopy to study molecular structures and
dynamics.
