Infrared definition

Over the next few years, both the mid-infrared and the far-infrared spectra for Ar-HF and Ar-HCl were extended to numerous other bands and to other isotopic species (most importantly those containing deuterium). In 1992, Hutson [18, 39] combined all the available spectroscopic data to produce definitive potential energy surfaces that included both the angle dependence and the dependence on the HF/HCl monomer vibrational quantum number v... 

Spectroscopy. Infrared spectroscopy (48) permits stmctural definition, eg, it resolves the 2,2 - from the 2,4 -methylene units in novolak resins. However, the broad bands and severely overlapping peaks present problems. For uncured resins, nmr rather than ir spectroscopy has become the technique of choice for microstmctural information. However, Fourier transform infrared (ftir) gives useful information on curing phenoHcs (49). Nevertheless, ir spectroscopy continues to be used as one of the detectors in the analysis of phenoHcs by gpc. 

Infrared (in) spectrometers are gaining popularity as detectors for gas chromatographic systems, particularly because the Fourier transform iafrared (ftir) spectrometer allows spectra of the eluting stream to be gathered quickly. Gc/k data are valuable alone and as an adjunct to gc/ms experiments. Gc/k is a definitive tool for identification of isomers (see Infrared and raman spectroscopy). 

The presence of iminium salts can be detected by chemical means or by spectroscopic methods. The chemical means of detecting iminium salts are reactions with nucleophiles and are the subject of this review. The spectroscopic methods are more useful for rapid identification because with the large number of model compounds available now the spectroscopic methods are fast and reliable. The two methods that are used primarily are infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Some attempts have been made to determine the presence of iminium salts by ultraviolet spectroscopy, but these are not definitive as yet (14,25). 

The infrared spectra of 2- and 4-hydroxy quinoline 1-oxide have been interpreted to favor forms 55 and 56,. respectively. Lehm-stedt has discussed the tautomerism of 10-hydroxyacridone (57 58) but reached no definite conclusions. Igeta investigated the... 

In 1939, the ultraviolet spectrum of 4-methylquinol-2-thione was reported to differ from that of the 2-alkylthio analog, and the former compound was concluded to exist in the thione form. However, other investigators were unable to reach any conclusions from ultraviolet and infrared spectral data concerning the tautomerism of quinol-2- and -4-thione. A definitive pK and ultraviolet spectral investigation by Albert and Barlin has recently established that the thione forms of quinol-2- and -4-thione and of isoquinol-1- and -3-thione (cf. 202) greatly predominate (Table V). The infrared... 

These compounds exhibit no infrared absorption in the 2100-2200 cm range/ and this definitely rules out the thiocarbamoyl... 

Recently a definitive study of several isoxazol-5-ones using infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy (Table I) has shown that the balance between the various tautomers is a delicate one and that all three of the structural types can predominate depending upon the nature of the substituents and the conditions of the experiment. However, the hydroxy form is only found when it is stabilized by chelation (i.e., a carbonyl substituent in the 4-position). The other compounds exist in the CH form in nonpolar media increasing polarity of the solvent stabilizes increasing amounts of the more polar NH forms. 

The opposite conclusion has been reached for similar compounds,but the evidence offered is not convincing. Although definite e-vddence is not yet available, the present authors feel that simple aminopyrazoles probably exist largely in the amino form (cf. 183). More complex aminopyrazoles have been assigned the amino structure by Taylor and Hartke on the basis of chemical, infrared, and ultraviolet spectral data. 

A substantial proportion of cross-linked material was obtained with 2 x 107 r, clearly indicating that ring participation, probably following scission43, is important. The infrared spectra of these polymers were not very informative, but definitely showed carbonyl and C=C bands, obviously coming from cleaved rings. 

It is idle to pretend that a definite comparison of optical (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared) emission spectrography with x-ray emission spectrography can be made at this time. We give in Table 8-4, with little qualification and no defense, what we consider to be a fair comparison for a laboratory called upon to determine a large number of elements under a variety of conditions not necessarily known in advance. 

The infrared spectra of these oxygen compounds of nickel and palladium, and of oxygen complexes of rhodium [RhX(PPh3)2(RNC)02 X = Cl, Br, I R = CgH, p-tolyl, Bu ] are also reported (67, 102). Oxygen-18 enrichment allowed definite assignments of some of the bands in these spectra. 

It is only since 1980 that in situ spectroscopic techniques have been developed to obtain identification of the adsorbed intermediates and hence of reliable reaction mechanisms. These new infrared spectroscopic in situ techniques, such as electrochemically modulated infrared reflectance spectroscopy (EMIRS), which uses a dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy, or a subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS), have provided definitive proof for the presence of strongly adsorbed species (mainly adsorbed carbon monoxide) acting as catalytic poisons. " " Even though this chapter is not devoted to the description of in situ infrared techniques, it is useful to briefly note the advantages and limitations of such spectroscopic methods. 

The different species formed by steps (18) to (20) or (18 ) to (20 ) have been detected by in situ infrared reflectance spectroscopy, and such dissociative steps are now widely accepted even if the exact nature of the species formed during (20) or (20 ) is still a subject of discussion. Several groups proposed the species (COH)3js as the main, strongly adsorbed species on the platinum surface, even though no absorption infrared band can be definitely attributed to (COH),, . However, the formyl-like species ( CHO), , . has been formally identified, since it gives an IR absorption band ataroimd 1690cm . ... 

Infrared spectroscopy is a major tool for polymer and rubber identification [11,12]. Infrared analysis usually suffices for identification of the plastic material provided absence of complications by interferences from heavy loadings of additives, such as pigments or fillers. As additives can impede the unambiguous assignment of a plastic, it is frequently necessary to separate the plastic from the additives. For example, heavily plasticised PVC may contain up to 60% of a plasticiser, which needs to be removed prior to attempted identification of the polymer. Also an ester plasticiser contained in a nitrile rubber may obscure identification of the polymer. Because typical rubber compounds only contain some 50% polymer direct FUR analysis rarely provides a definitive answer. It is usually necessary first... 

Vibrational spectroscopy provides the most definitive means of identifying the surface species arising from molecular adsorption and the species generated by surface reaction, and the two techniques that are routinely used for vibrational studies of molecules on surfaces are Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS) (q.v.). 

The Subpart O standards apply to units that treat or destroy hazardous waste and which meet the definition of an incinerator. An incinerator is any enclosed device that uses controlled flame combustion and does not meet the criteria for classification as a boiler, sludge dryer, carbon regeneration unit, or industrial furnace. Typical incinerators1 2 3 include rotary kilns, liquid injectors, fixed hearth units, and fluidized bed incinerators (Table 23.1). The definition of an incinerator also includes units that meet the definition of an infrared incinerator or plasma arc incinerator. An infrared incinerator is any enclosed device that uses electric-powered resistance as a source of heat and which is not listed as an industrial furnace. A plasma arc incinerator is any enclosed device that uses a high-intensity electrical discharge as a source of heat and which is not listed as an industrial furnace.
