IR Studies of Inorganic Reactions in a Mull

Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy has rarely been used to study inorganic reactions in the solid state in spite of its advantage that reactants and products can quantitatively be monitored throughout the course of areaction. Manzelli and Taddei1 - found that KMnO4 reacts in alkali iodide matrices to yield IO3 and MnO2 as products, but no spectra of the reaction products were presented Gymkowski, Lamhert, and Kimmel2 showed that IO4 is the initial product, which then decomposes to IO3 . At 100°, KMnO4 reacts in a KBr diskt o give Br2 and MnO2.3
