How to Solve Infrared Spectral Problems

In this section, we will use the infrared spectrum to determine the structure of four different unknown compounds. Often, it is not possible to derive an exact structure using the infrared spectrum only. However, it is often possible to eliminate most of the potential structures. Section 2.9 provides important information on how to proceed in the analysis of a spectrum. In addition, you wiU find the following list of figures and tables to be particularly useful [Pg.87]

Section 2.21, Alkyl and Aryl Halides, was revised. Section 2.23, How to Solve Infrared Spectral Problems, is a new section. The sections that followed were renumbered. [Pg.775]

There is a unique chapter on how to correctly use spectral processing to tackle the thorny problem of mixture analysis. Half the battle in obtaining a good infrared spectrum is proper sample preparation learn to win that battle by reading the Preparing Samples Properly chapter covering in detail the most important development in infrared sample preparation in decades diamond ATRs. The final chapters examine single analyte quantitative analysis and how infrared microscopy is used to catch criminals and solve industrial problems. [Pg.183]
