While chemists using spectroscopic methods need to learn from the specialists, they do not normally read the spectroscopists' original papers. This book provides this very information -- summarizing recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of homogeneous catalytic reactions. Adopting a practice-oriented approach, the authors devote the two parts of the book to the most powerful and complementary spectroscopic techniques - NMR and IR sp...
