“… this book is a uniquely helpful guide to many of the major (and some minor) techniques used to investigate the structures of solid catalysts and model systems and is written from the perspective of a prolific researcher in the field. The writing is enjoyable to read, the illustrations are clear, and the reader is guided efficiently to key technical references for further details… “ –Journal of the American Chemical SocietySuperbly organized and of great pedagogic value, Spectroscopy in Catalysis describes the most important modern analytical techniques used to investigate catalytic surfaces. These include electron, ion, and vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, temperature-programmed techniques, diffraction, and microscopy. With the focus on practical use, rather than theory, each chapter presents current applications to illustrate the type of information that the technique provides and evaluates its possibilities and limitations, allowing selection of the best catalyst and the correct technique to solve a given problem.This third edition includes significant new developments and case studies, with all the chapters updated by way of recent examples and relevant new literature. For students and for everyone who wants a digestible introduction to catalyst characterization.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–10): Chapter 2 Temperature?Programmed Techniques (pages 11–38): Chapter 3 Photoemission and Auger Spectroscopy (pages 39–83): Chapter 4 The Ion Spectroscopies (pages 85–119): Chapter 5 Mossbauer Spectroscopy (pages 121–146): Chapter 6 Diffraction and Extended X?Ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) (pages 147–177): Chapter 7 Microscopy and Imaging (pages 179–216): Chapter 8 Vibrational Spectroscopy (pages 217–249): Chapter 9 Case Studies in Catalyst Characterization (pages 251–295):
