Summary

This chapter contains an introduction to some physical (instrumental) and computer-based methods which are used for analysis of systems under study by all chemists. The methods discussed here include X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS and EXAFS), X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance (including ENDOR), and Mössbauer-spectroscopies.
