Abstract
The characteristic asorption, reflection, or emission of particu lar frequencies of IR radiation has been used extensively over the last two decades to identify compounds and mixtures and to investigate intermolecular and intramolecular interactions. It is probably true to say that IR spectroscopy is the most widely used instrumental technique in analytical chemistry today. This is due to a variety of reasons, including the ease of operation of many IR spectrometers, the ease in which a sample may be classified according to its chemical class from its IR spectrum, the variety of states in which a compound may be investigated, the availability of libraries of IR spectra for the unique identification of a sample, and the accuracy to which quantitative analysis may be carried out.
