Summary
Chapter 2 presents a general overview of many topics which will be used throughout the book. This includes (1) the origin of infrared and Raman spectra, (2) the definition of terms employed, (3) how vibrations in molecules may be divided into the useful categories of group and fingerprint vibrations, (4) vibrational coupling, and (5) an introduction to the interpretation of the spectrum.
