Diffuse Reflectance Infra-red Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is a form of FT-IR that can provide bonding information and concentration if the snr-face coverage is > 1 X 10 atoms/cm of atoms/molecules adsorbed on high snrface area solids, i.e. finely dispersed catalysts. This technique does so by sampling photons experiencing diffuse reflectance. In this mode, some fraction of the photons impinging on a surface are transmitted into the solid. These photons may then be absorbed, further transmitted, or reflected out of the solid. The surface-reflected and bulk re-emitted components, which when summed, represent the recorded signal. No prior sample preparation is required, and analysis can be carried out under ambient conditions. 

In this chapter, three methods for measuring the frequencies of the vibrations of chemical bonds between atoms in solids are discussed. Two of them, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR, and Raman Spectroscopy, use infrared (IR) radiation as the probe. The third, High-Resolution Electron Enetgy-Loss Spectroscopy, HREELS, uses electron impact. The fourth technique. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, is physically unrelated to the other three, involving transitions between different spin states of the atomic nucleus instead of bond vibrational states, but is included here because it provides somewhat similar information on the local bonding arrangement around an atom. 

At present, most workers hold a more realistic view of the promises and difficulties of work in electrocatalysis. Starting in the 1980s, new lines of research into the state of catalyst surfaces and into the adsorption of reactants and foreign species on these surfaces have been developed. Techniques have been developed that can be used for studies at the atomic and molecular level. These techniques include the tunneling microscope, versions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and of photoelectron spectroscopy, differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy, and others. The broad application of these techniques has considerably improved our understanding of the mechanism of catalytic effects in electrochemical reactions. 

There are several other techniques Uke the fluorescent dye displacement assays, footprinting, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, atomic force microscopy, surface plasmon resonance etc used for hgand-DNA interactions that are not discussed here.
