First, the student should become aware of the fact that more concentrated samples are required for far-infrared spectroscopy. Liquid cells may have longer pathlengths, or a more concentrated solution must be determined in order to obtain reasonable absorption bands.

Infrared spectroscopy is routinely used for the analysis of samples in the gas, liquid, and solid states. Sample cells are made from materials, such as NaCl and KBr, that are transparent to infrared radiation. Gases are analyzed using a cell with a pathlength of approximately 10 cm. Longer pathlengths are obtained by using mirrors to pass the beam of radiation through the sample several times.

Some of the techniques included apply more broadly than just to surfaces, interfaces, or thin films for example X-Ray Diffraction and Infrared Spectroscopy, which have been used for half a century in bulk solid and liquid analysis, respectively. They are included here because they have by now been developed to also apply to surfaces. A few techniques that are applied almost entirely to bulk materials (e.g.. Neutron Diffraction) are included because they give complementary information to other methods or because they are referred to significantly in the 10 materials volumes in the Series. Some techniques were left out because they were considered to be too restricted to specific applications or materials. 

Very little in the way of advances has occurred since 1971 in the applications of ultraviolet or infrared spectroscopy to the analysis of fluonnated organic compounds Therefore, only gas-liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electron scattering for chemical analysis (ESCA) are discussed The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to the analysis of fluonnated organic compounds is the subject of another section of this chapter... 

Deprotonation of H2O2 yields OOH , and hydroperoxides of the alkali metals are known in solution. Liquid ammonia can also effect deprotonation and NH4OOH is a white solid, mp 25° infrared spectroscopy shows the presence of NH4+ and OOH ions in the solid phase but the melt appears to contain only the H-bonded species NH3 and H202. " Double deprotonation yields the peroxide ion 02 , and this is a standard route to transition metal peroxides. 

To remove water, commercial ionic liquids used for fundamental research purposes should be dried at 60 °C in vacuo overnight. The water content should be checked prior to use. This can be done qualitatively by infrared spectroscopy or cyclovoltametric measurements, or quantitatively by Karl-Fischer titration. If the ionic liquids cannot be dried to zero water content for any reason, the water content should always be mentioned in all descriptions and documentation of the experiments to allow proper interpretation of the results obtained. 

To measure gas and water vapor permeability, a film sample is mounted between two chambers of a permeability cell. One chamber holds the gas or vapor to be used as the permeant. The permeant then diffuses through the film into a second chamber, where a detection method such as infrared spectroscopy, a manometric, gravimetric, or coulometric method isotopic counting or gas-liquid chromatography provides a quantitative measurement (2). Die measurement depends on the specific permeant and the sensitivity required. 

If gaseous S2O-SO2 mixtures are dissolved in dry solvents such as CS2, CCI4, CHCI3, CH2CI2, and liquid SO2 at temperatures between -75 and -1-25 °C, intense yellow solutions of polysulfuroxides are obtained which have been characterized only very poorly [19]. In contrast to the opinion of some authors [20], S2O cannot be detected in such solutions, e.g., by infrared spectroscopy. Most probably, mixtures of cyclic polysulfuroxides are present besides SO2 (see below, in particular the preparation of S5O), e.g. ... 

Novotny et al. [41] used p-polarized reflection and modulated polarization infrared spectroscopy to examine the conformation of 1 -1,000 nm thick liquid polyperfluoropropy-lene oxide (PPFPO) on various solid surfaces, such as gold, silver, and silica surfaces. They found that the peak frequencies and relative intensities in the vibration spectra from thin polymer films were different from those from the bulk, suggesting that the molecular arrangement in the polymer hlms deviated from the bulk conformation. A two-layer model has been proposed where the hlms are composed of interfacial and bulk layers. The interfacial layer, with a thickness of 1-2 monolayers, has the molecular chains preferentially extended along the surface while the second layer above exhibits a normal bulk polymer conformation.

Detection in SFC can be achieved in the condensed phase using optical detectors similar to those used in liquid chromatography or in the gas phase using detectors similar to those used in gas chromatography. Spectroscopic detectors, such as mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, are relatively easily interfaced to SFC compared to the problems observed with liquid mobile phases (see Chapter 9). The range of available detectors for SFC is considered one of its strengths.

Reaction of K3Co(CN) with PMMA. A 1.0 g sample of PMMA and 1.0g of the cobalt compound were combined in a standard vessel and pyrolyzed for 2 hrs at 375°C. The tube was removed from the oven and the contents of the tube were observed to be solid (PMMA is liquid at this temperature). The tube was reattached to the vacuum line via the break-seal and opened. Gases were determined by pressure-volume-temperature measurements on the vacuum line and identified by infrared spectroscopy. Recovered were 0.22g of methyl methacrylate and 0.11 g of CO and C02. The tube was then removed from the vacuum line and acetone was added. Filtration gave two fractions, 1.27g of acetone insoluble material and 0.30g of acetone soluble (some soluble material is always lost in the recovery process). The acetone insoluble fraction was then slurried with water, 0.11 g of material was insoluble in water. Infrared analysis of this insoluble material show both C-H and C-0 vibrations and are classified as char based upon infrared spectroscopy. Reactions were also performed at lower temperature, even at 260°C some char is evident in the insoluble fraction.
