[1] [2] In physical and analytical chemistry, infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is a technique used to identify chemical compounds based on the way infrared radiation is absorbed by the compound. The absorptions in this range do not apply only to bonds in organic molecules.
Benzophenone is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 5) 2 CO, generally abbreviated Ph 2 CO. Benzophenone has been found in some fungi, fruits and plants, including grapes. [4] It is a white solid with a low melting point and rose-like odor [5] that is soluble in organic solvents. Benzophenone is the simplest ...
Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy or vibrational spectroscopy) is the measurement of the interaction of infrared radiation with matter by absorption, emission, or reflection. It is used to study and identify chemical substances or functional groups in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms. It can be used to characterize new materials or identify ...
The first low-cost spectrophotometer capable of recording an infrared spectrum was the Perkin-Elmer Infracord produced in 1957. [3] This instrument covered the wavelength range from 2.5 μm to 15 μm (wavenumber range 4,000 cm −1 to 660 cm −1).
The FT-IR spectra were recorded using a Nicolet 170SX or a JASCO FT/IR-410 spectrometer. For spectra recorded in the Nicolet spectrometer, the data were stored at intervals of 0.5 cm −1 in the 4,000 – 2,000 cm −1 region and of 0.25 cm −1 in the 2,000 – 400 cm −1 region and the spectral resolution was 0.25 cm −1.
The micro-structural analysis is a common way to complement with the conventional morphology taxonomy for plant fossils classification. [4] FTIR spectroscopy can provide insightful information in the microstructure for different plant taxa. Cuticles is a waxy protective layer that covers plant leaves and stems to prevent loss of water. Its ...
The crutch had fractured across a polypropylene insert within the aluminium tube of the device, and IR spectroscopy of the material showed that it had oxidised, possibly as a result of poor moulding. Oxidation is usually relatively easy to detect, owing to the strong absorption by the carbonyl group in the spectrum of polyolefins. Polypropylene ...
The OPO source enabled nanoscale infrared spectroscopy over a tuning range of roughly 1000–4000 cm −1 or 2.5-10 μm. The initial product required samples to be mounted on infrared-transparent prisms, with the infrared light being directed from below in the manner of Dazzi et al.
