Fourier Transform spectrum Spectrometer

For infrared spectroscopy, 20-50 mg of the cobalt-exchanged zeolite was pressed into a self-supporting wafer and placed into an infrared cell similar to that described by Joly et al. [21], Spectra were recorded on a Digilab FTS-50 Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer at a resolution of 4 cm-i. Typically, 64 or 256 scans were coadded to obtain a good signal-to-noise ratio. A reference spectrum of Co-ZSM-5 in He taken at the same temperature was subtracted from each spectrum. 

Most modem IR facilities will use a Fourier Transform IR Spectrometer (FTIR), rather than a dispersive instrument. The essential feature is that all of the light from the source falls on to the detector at any instant, which thus leads to increased signal levels, thereby automatically improving the signal-to-noise ratio at all points on the spectrum. 

Transmission infrared spectra of species adsorbed on the catalyst were taken with a Digilab FTS-10M Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, using a resolution of 4 cm-l. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, between 10 and 100 interferograms were co-added. Spectra of the catalyst taken following reduction in H2 were subtracted from spectra taken in the presence of NO to eliminate the spectrum of the support. Because of the very short optical path through the gas in the reactor and the low NO partial pressures used in these studies, the spectrum of gas-phase NO was extremely weak and did not interfere with the observation of the spectrum of adsorbed species. 

The NMR spectrum of calcitriol, recorded on a Varian XL-100/Nicolet TT-100 pulsed Fourier Transform NMR spectrometer, with internal deuterium lock, is shown in Figure 2 (2). The spectrum was recorded using a solution of 0.84 mg of sample dissolved in 50 microliters of CD OD (100%D) containing 1% v/v tetramethylsilane in a 1.7 mm capillary tube. The spectral assignments are given in Table I. 

We discussed the fundamentals of mass spectrometry in Chapter 10 and infrared spectrometry in Chapter 8. The quadrupole mass spectrometer and the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer have been adapted to and used with GC equipment as detectors with great success. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-infrared spectrometry (GC-IR) are very powerful tools for qualitative analysis in GC because not only do they give retention time information, but, due to their inherent speed, they are also able to measure and record the mass spectrum or infrared (IR) spectrum of the individual sample components as they elute from the GC column. It is like taking a photograph of each component as it elutes. See Figure 12.14. Coupled with the computer banks of mass and IR spectra, a component s identity is an easy chore for such a detector. It seems the only real... 

Fig. 26 Fourier transform spectrum of v2 of ammonia. Trace (a) is a section of the infrared absorption spectrum of ammonia recorded on a Digilab Fourier transform spectrometer at a nominal resolution of 0.125 cm-1. In this section of the spectrum near 848 cm-1 the sidelobes of the sine response function partially cancel, but the spectrum exhibits negative absorption and some sidelobes. Trace (b) is the same section of the ammonia spectrum using triangular apodiza-tion to produce a sine-squared transfer function. Trace (c) is the deconvolution of the sine-squared data using a Jansson-type weight constraint.

Figure 10.11—Optical arrangement of a Fourier transform IR spectrometer, a) A 90c Michelson interferometer including the details of the beam splitter (expanded view) b) optical diagram of a single beam spectrometer (based on a Nicolet model). A weak intensity HeNe laser (632.8 nm) is used as an internal standard to measure precisely the position of the moving mirror using an interference method (a simple sinusoidal interferogram caused by the laser is produced within the device). According to the Nyquist theorem, at least two points per period are needed to calculate the wavelength within the given spectrum.

Figure 10.12—Sequence of events necessary to obtain a pseudo-double beam spectrum with a Fourier transform IR spectrometer. The instrument records and stores in its memory two spectra representing the variation of lu (blank) and / (sample) as a function of wavenumber (emission spectra 1 and 2 above). Then, it calculates the conventional spectrum, which is identical to that obtained on a double beam instrument, by calculating the ratio T — /// — f(A) for each wavenumber. Atmospheric absorption (CO2 and H20) is thus eliminated. The figure illustrates the spectrum of a polystyrene film.

For qualitative analysis, two detectors that can identify compounds are the mass spectrometer (Section 22-4) and the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Section 20-5). A peak can be identified by comparing its spectrum with a library of spectra recorded in a computer. For mass spectral identification, sometimes two prominent peaks are selected in the electron ionization spectrum. The quantitation ion is used for quantitative analysis. The confinnation ion is used for qualitative identification. For example, the confirmation ion might be expected to be 65% as abundant as the quantitation ion. If the observed abundance is not close to 65%, then we suspect that the compound is misidentified. 

All facets of study have been greatly aided by the ease with which crystal structures may be obtained and by the availability of sensitive Fourier transform NMR spectrometers which allow nuclei such as l70, 51V, wNb, s5Mo, and, K3W to be used for structural studies. Oxygen-17 NMR spectroscopy has proved to be particularly useful because 170 chemical shifts are very sensitive to environment. As a result it is possible to distinguish between terminal and various kinds of bridging oxygen sites. The l70 spectrum of [W Oi, ]2 and its structure are shown in Fig. Ifi-IOa/1 We see...

The broad band decoupled carbon-13 NMR spectrum of cimetidine hydrochloride (Figure 3) was obtained by using a solution of approximately 100 mg/ml in deuterated dimethylsulf oxide. The deuterium signal of dimethylsulfoxide was used as the internal reference and the spectrum was obtained on a Varian Associates Model FT-80 fourier transform NMR spectrometer. The chemical shift assignments are ... 

Any modern Fourier transform NMR spectrometer manufactured in the 1980s by major instrument companies is capable of performing various types of H NMR experiments needed for studies of hemoglobin. With a modern 7.0-Tesla high-resolution NMR spectrometer operating at 300 MHz for H, a satisfactory H NMR spectrum (with a signal-to-noise ratio of 20 or better) of 0.3—0.5 ml Hb in millimolar concentration contained in a 5-mm sample tube can be obtained in a few minutes. 

Principal component analysis is most easily explained by showing its application on a familiar type of data. In this chapter we show the application of PCA to chromatographic-spectroscopic data. These data sets are the kind produced by so-called hyphenated methods such as gas chromatography (GC) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to a multivariate detector such as a mass spectrometer (MS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), or UV/visible spectrometer. Examples of some common hyphenated methods include GC-MS, GC-FTIR, HPLC-UV/Vis, and HLPC-MS. In all these types of data sets, a response in one dimension (e.g., chromatographic separation) modulates the response of a detector (e.g., a spectrum) in a second dimension. 

The Raman spectrum of gases can now also be recorded with Fourier-Transform Raman spectrometers with near infrared excitation (Dyer and Hendra, 1992). Fig. 4.3-19 shows a survey spectrum of air obtained in 4 hours of sampling time (Bruker, 1993). The region of the rotational spectrum is presented on an expanded scale in Fig. 4.3-20, it can be compared with Fig. 4.3-18. The intensities of the lines below about 80 cm are weakened by the Rayleigh line suppression filter and the resolution is limited to 1 cm", mainly by the laser used for excitation.
