Generalized Two-Dimensional (2D) correlation analysis is a powerful tool applicable to data obtained from a very broad range of measurements, such as chromatography or infrared spectroscopy. Relationships among systematic variations in infrared spectra are obtained as a function of spectroscopic frequencies. In this paper, the variation is induced by the introduction of small doses of CO in the catalytic cell, inducing a pressure change and a modification of adsorbed CO concentration. The correlation intensities are displayed in the form of 2D maps, usually referred to as 2D correlation spectra. 2D correlation analysis can help us to solve the complexity of the spectra... 

As noted in the Introduction, a central focus of our current interests in both surface Raman and infrared spectroscopies is directed towards their utilization in reactive electrochemical systems (3-6). An important virtue of in-situ vibrational spectroscopies for this purpose is that they can yield information on the molecular identity (as well as detailed physical state) of electrogenerated species, and hence can provide considerable mechanistic information for multistep electrode processes. We have recently discussed several facets of such applications in a conference paper for "Surface Vibrations V" (6b). 

The introduction of microwave and far-infrared spectroscopy changed the situation somewhat. These techniques give the barriers to rotation if they are on the order of a few kilocalories per mole (10). Such values are still too low for the chemical isolation of atropisomers.

Infrared Spectroscopy. The spectrum of the solid C showed only weak and unresolved hydroxyl bands (Figure 5). The introduction of CO under an equilibrium pressure of 50 torr did not modify the i>oh bands. After evacuation of the carbon monoxide at room temperature, the IR spectrum showed two bands at 2135 and 2110 cm-1 caused by strongly chemisorbed... 

Since the article by Spedding1 on infrared spectroscopy and carbohydrate chemistry was published in this Series in 1964, important advances in both infrared and Raman spectroscopy have been achieved. The discovery2 of the fast Fourier transform (f.F.t.) algorithm in 1965 revitalized the field of infrared spectroscopy. The use of the f.F.t., and the introduction of efficient minicomputers, permitted the development of a new generation of infrared instruments called Fourier-transform infrared (F.t.-i.r.) spectrophotometers. The development of F.t.-i.r. spectroscopy resulted in the setting up of the software necessary to undertake signal averaging, and perform the mathematical manipulation of the spectral data in order to extract the maximum of information from the spectra.3... 

Progress in the Raman spectroscopic study of carbohydrates became possible during the past few years owing to the introduction of laser sources. Before discussing the results of laser-Raman spectroscopy applied to carbohydrates, we shall give a brief recapitulation of the physical principles of the Raman effect. Experimental techniques of infrared spectroscopy have been described in previous reviews,116,17 but no such description has been given for the Raman method. That is why the Description Section, which follows, will include the physical fundamentals of the method, as well as the sampling techniques.

Hitherto, in the form of reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), the infrared method had been capable of detecting single monolayers only in the exceptionally favorable (strong absorption) cases of carboxylate ions [Francis and Ellison (14)] or carbon monoxide [Chesters, Pritchard, and Sims (15)] adsorbed on flat metal surfaces. The new challenge from VEELS provided the motivation for a search for improvements in RAIRS sensitivity, and this was very successfully achieved by M. A. Chesters and his colleagues through the introduction of Fourier-transform-based interferometric infrared spectroscopy (16).

The introduction of commercial Fourier transform (FT) spectrometers in the early 1960 s has made it possible, in part, to overcome the limitations associated with dispersive instruments and has helped to broaden the scope of problems amenable to investigation by infrared spectroscopy. The purpose of this review is to compare the performance of FT and dispersive spectrometers and to illustrate areas of application in which FT spectroscopy has proven advantageous for the study of adsorbed species. In view of these objectives only a limited treatment of the theory underlying FT spectroscopy will be presented here. 

Infrared spectroscopy was widely used in the second half of the 20th century, and this technique has allowed some advances to be made in awareness of functionalities in, and of complexes formed by, humic molecules. However, the greatest advances in determinations of functionalities, in aspects of compositions and structures, and now in aspects of humic interactions have been made since the introduction of solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy (Wilson, 1987 Malcolm, 1989). Chapter 15 in this book (by Simpson and Simpson) has reviewed in detail the applications of NMR in the solid and liquid states to studies of compositions and interactions of NOM. We now have a good indication of the types of functionalities that compose HS, and combinations of modem NMR technologies and principal component analysis (PCA) techniques allow us to deduce the origins of some of the functionalities (Novotny et al., 2007). 

To aid the general reader, short descriptions of the fundamentals of modern Raman scattering and attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spectroscopy are provided. This is followed for each spectroscopy by brief introductions to the enhancement mechanism involved. 

A comprehensive historical review of the analytical applications of infrared spectroscopy from the first experiments to the introduction of FTIR spectrometers has appeared.221 The first study of the absorption of infrared radiation by a range of chemical substances was made in 1881 by Abney and Festing, after the former had developed a photographic method of detecting radiation in the near-infrared region. Over the next 25 years a number of other studies were made. This early phase culminated in the work of W. W. Coblentz in the United States, which was published in 1905.222 It became evident from Coblentz s data that infrared spectra were related to molecular structure, but IR spectroscopy remained principally the province of researchers in university physics departments until World War n. 

The introduction of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) brought along a number of typical solid sample techniques. DRIFTS (Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) is probably most commonly known. Another technique, developed specifically for measuring solid, opaque samples is PAS (Photo Acoustic Spectroscopy). This accessory is less known, probably due to its high cost and its rather difficult modus operandi.

The area in which matrix isolation is perhaps of greatest value is the stabilization of transient species such as free radicals and high-temperature vapors. Until quite recently, infrared spectroscopy was utilized almost exclusively for the vibrational studies of matrix-isolated species. With the introduction of laser sources and the development of more sensitive, electronic, light detection systems, Raman matrix-isolation studies are now feasible and have recently been applied to a limited number of unstable inorganic fluoride species including the molecules OF (5) and C1F2 (6). Both of these species were formed for Raman study by a novel technique that utilizes the... 

Cyanide is also an effective infrared probe (Yoshikawa et al., 1985). A drawback of this reagent as an infrared probe is its infrared intensity, which is much weaker than that of CO. However, as given in Fig. 10, the recent development in the infrared technique has solved this problem with the introduction of a mercury/cadmium/tellurium (MCT) detector (Fig. 10) (Yoshikawa et al., 1995). The C-N stretch vibrational band is sensitive to many factors, such as the oxidation state and species of the coordinating metal, the structures of porphyrin ring substituents, and the ligand trans to the cyanide and protein structure (Yoshikawa et al., 1985). This technique can be quite effectively applied for determination of the protonation state of the cyanide bound at a metal site. Possible binding modes of cyanide to a ferric iron are shown by Structures (1), (11), and (HI). Infrared spectroscopy is the best method for identihcation of these...

Before the introduction of gas chromatography, the detection of toxaphene was carried out mainly by infrared spectroscopy [57, 58], measurement of total chloride content [59], or colorimetric methods [60]. Colorimetric methods had a detection limit around 100 pg/mL [60]. Coulson et al. pubhshed the first gas chromatogram of toxaphene in 1959 which clearly demonstrates the problem of the analysis of toxaphene. Due to the high number of components no signals of single compounds were observable in contrast to the case for other chloro-pesticides such as DDT, lindane, and chlordane [61]. 

The present chapter deals with the use of infrared spectroscopy in radiation chemistry. After an historical introduction and the presentation of the basic knowledge needed in infrared spectroscopy, we describe the major milestones of its implementation within that field. Section 3 describes the use of infrared spectroscopy in astrophysics. Starting in the 1980s, such studies aim at characterizing the sample s modifications after irradiation. Section 4 describes the implementation of infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IR-RAS) and its use in understanding the radiation-induced surface chemistry. Section 5 is focused on the chemistry induced by swift heavy ions in polymers. Section 6 presents recent developments that enable us to perform...
