Introduction to Infrared Spectroscopy
Course Details
Premier
This webcast explores the various aspects of infrared spectroscopy – all the way from basic theory to advanced experimentation. We discuss the various molecular vibrations and infrared active modes and show you around the features of both dispersive and FT-IR instruments. We consider the important choices and variables associated with sample preparation and spectral acquisition and processing as well as discussing the important features of library searching.
Topics include:
- Electromagnetic radiation and infrared spectroscopy
- Molecular vibrations and infrared active modes
- Typical infrared absorption signals
- Principles and equipment of dispersive and FTIR instrumentation
- Sample preparation and data acquisition
- Infrared experiment types – what do you need to know?
- Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)
