Screening infrared

The formation of such materials may be monitored by several techniques. One of the most useful methods is and C-nmr spectroscopy where stable complexes in solution may give rise to characteristic shifts of signals relative to the uncomplexed species (43). Solution nmr spectroscopy has also been used to detect the presence of soHd inclusion compound (after dissolution) and to determine composition (host guest ratio) of the material. Infrared spectroscopy (126) and combustion analysis are further methods to study inclusion formation. For general screening purposes of soHd inclusion stmctures, the x-ray powder diffraction method is suitable (123). However, if detailed stmctures are requited, the single crystal x-ray diffraction method (127) has to be used. 

Symmetrical, long-chain cyanine dyes for laser appHcations provide output from 680 to 980 nm (76). Although these dyes were obtained through early screening procedures, infrared dyes for other technologies use similar stmetures. A long-chain indolenine-type cyanine dye, general stmeture as in dye (34), has been described as the sensitizer in optical disk memories (77). 

The movement of gases and vapors is more difficult to visualize than that of particulates. However, most gases and vapors have strong absorption peaks in the infrared band. If a flat screen, heated to some 15 C or more above ambient temperature, is positioned on one side of a source with an infrared camera and filter on the other side, then the gas cloud will absorb a certain amount of infrared. Although the basic method is simple, special equipment (camera and filters) is required.

VDU screen via suitable electronic amplifying circuitry where the data are presented in the form of an elution profile. Although there are a dozen or more types of detector available for gas chromatography, only those based on thermal conductivity, flame ionization, electron-capture and perhaps flame emission and electrolytic conductivity are widely used. The interfacing of gas chromatographs with infrared and mass spectrometers, so-called hyphenated techniques, is described on p. 114 etseq. Some detector characteristics are summarized in Table 4.11.

A number of procedures, based on microanalysis of samples for known physical properties (Chapter 8, 9, and 10), have also been employed. Eor example, field screening, which uses infrared spectroscopy, employing a portable version of the laboratory procedure has been used (Kasper et al., 1991). Eield turbido-metric methods favor the determination of high-boiling hydrocarbons and are... 

An important consequence of the presence of the metal surface is the so-called infrared selection rule. If the metal is a good conductor the electric field parallel to the surface is screened out and hence it is only the p-component (normal to the surface) of the external field that is able to excite vibrational modes. In other words, it is only possible to excite a vibrational mode that has a nonvanishing component of its dynamical dipole moment normal to the surface. This has the important implication that one can obtain information by infrared spectroscopy about the orientation of a molecule and definitely decide if a mode has its dynamical dipole moment parallel with the surface (and hence is undetectable in the infrared spectra) or not. This strong polarization dependence must also be considered if one wishes to use Eq. (1) as an independent way of determining ft. It is necessary to put a polarizer in the incident beam and use optically passive components (which means polycrystalline windows and mirror optics) to avoid serious errors. With these precautions we have obtained pretty good agreement for the value of n determined from Eq. (1) and by independent means as will be discussed in section 3.2. 

One must account for the screening of the external field by the electronic polarization of the adsorbed molecules. This screening gives rise to a reduced infrared absorption. Taking it into account in a proper way shows... 

All this work on the dipole-dipole interaction has been made for modes oriented normal to the surface or for the normal component of n and they predict an upward frequency shift for increasing coverage. Hayden et al. suggested that a downward shift could occur for modes oriented parallel to the surface and this idea has also been used to assign modes of H/W(100). However, it should be clear that the interaction must be much weaker for modes parallel to the surface, as the dipole field in accordance with the infrared selection rule mentioned in section 2 is screened by the metal surface. At least, in a theoretical model this has to be taken into account.
