Different experimental approaches were applied in the past [6, 45] and in recent years [23, 46] to study the nature of the organic residue. But the results or their interpretation have been contradictory. Even at present, the application of modem analytical techniques and optimized electrochemical instruments have led to different results and all three particles given above, namely HCO, COH and CO, have been recently discussed as possible methanol intermediates [14,15,23,46,47]. We shall present here the results of recent investigations on the electrochemical oxidation of methanol by application of electrochemical thermal desorption mass spectroscopy (ECTDMS) on-line mass spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform IR-reflection-absorption spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS). 

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and Fourier transform IR (FT-IR) have been very useful in studying the molecular structure of HS from organic amendments and unamended soils, as well as the effects of organic amendment on native soil HS (Senesi et al.,... 

One approach to obtaining structural information on surface films is reflectance-absorbance infra-red (RAIR) spectroscopy and Fourier Transform IR (Foster, 1999). Model materials were prepared by thermal and thermooxidative decomposition of zinc diisopropyl-dithiophosphate. Lubricant-derived... 

In some cases cyclic events occur, dependent, for example, on time of day, season of tire year or temperature fluctuations. These can be modelled using sine functions, and are tire basis of time series analysis (Section 3.4). In addition, cyclicity is also observed in Fourier spectroscopy, and Fourier transform techniques (Section 3.5) may on occasions be combined with methods for time series analysis. 

Owing to its stability, solubility, and highly reproducible oxidation behavior, ferrocene has long been used as an electrochemical standard in nonaqueous solvents. Not surprisingly, the electron-donor or -acceptor properties of ring substituents in ferrocenes and other metallocenes have been repeatedly evaluated with electrochemical techniques. Measurements have been obtained using polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Extensive compilations of such data are available.Historically, variations of oxidation potentials have been discussed almost solely in terms of the...

Substantial progress in the elucidation of the surface structure of crystalline and amorphous silicas has been achieved by means of high-resolution spectroscopic techniques, for example, Si cross-polarization magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. The results lead to a better understanding of the acidity, dehydration properties, and adsorption behavior of the surface. These properties are key features in the design of novel advanced silica materials. The current methods of characterization are briefly reviewed and summarized. 

Several spectroscopic and nonspectroscopic techniques may be used to study the bonding nature of the adsorbate to the surface [2a, 4]. In the first case we want to emphasize the importance of diffuse reflectance techniques for absorption and emission studies in the ultraviolet (UV), Visible (Vis), and near infrared (NIR) spectral ranges. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the second group, we refer the heat adsorption and the isotherm adsorption techniques, among others. 

Surface modification in order to improve the hydrophilicity of membrane surface can be achieved by blending surface modifying macromolecules to the base material. Blends of phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) and poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylamido methylpropane sulfonic acid), a material that contains charged groups, have been prepared [76]. It was found that the charged groups tend to accumulate onto the membrane surface using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. 

The application of frequency combs to molecular spectroscopy opens the way to new and very promising techniques, which are based on a combination of laser spectroscopy and Fourier-transform spectroscopy [1342],... 

NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are the main techniques used to provide microstructure information that is especially important for differentiating Hevea rubber from other types of naturally occurring and synthetic poly-isoprene. Both proton ( FI) and carbon ( C) NMR spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of natural rubber in solution, and are shown in Figure 1. In the NMR spectrum, the olefinic proton gives rise to a peak 5.0 ppm, the methylene protons 2.0 ppm, and the methyl protons 1.6 ppm. 

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FT IR) spectroscopy can be used to distinguish between generic classes of fibers, i.e., cellulosics and proteins, as each have characteristic absorption bands. A variation of this technique, FT lR-photo-acoustic spectroscopy can nowadays be used to determine the extent of cross-linking in cotton fabrics treated with polycarboxylic acids by measuring the absorption at 1725 cm of the ester groups formed. 

The major weakness of classical tga is that it gives information on weight loss but no chemical information. To overcome this problem, some modern tga instruments have been designed to be interfaced to chemical analysis instruments, the most popular being mass spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy. Both can give extremely useful information but care is needed to avoid problems from secondary reactions of volatile products and from loss of volatile products by condensation in transfer lines. The use of these so-called hyphenated techniques has been reviewed (30). 

Microscopy (TEM), UltraViolet-Visible (UV-vis) Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy are among others deeply used and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has become an increasingly available and powerful tool for imderstanding the nature of different surfaces and chemical and electronic structure of functionalized molecules or polymers upon coordination for example of metallic nanoparticles or biological systems. 

Oils which are totally paraffinic are essentially inert to radical ions. For example, when a completely paraffinic oil is used to disperse a suspension of reagent, oil properties, such as power factor, remain unaffected. The power factor of the oil is a sensitive measure of its polar constituents so that if a reaction between the reagents and the oil components does take place it is important that they at least do not yield polar products. The extent of possible interactions has been investigated by various analytical techniques including capillary gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance. No significant difference was observed between the alkane constituents of reacted and unreacted mineral oils in the MOP process. 

Covalent, stoichiometric [dendrimer core fullerene shell] nanocompotmds were readily formed by allowing a [core l,2-diaminoethane] (4 2) dendri-poly (amidoamine)-(NH2)64 (G = 4) PAMAM dendrimer to react with an excess of buckminsterfullerene (Ceo) [177]. In the presence of an excess of C o, only 30 Ceo moieties bonded to the dendrimer surface to produce a well-defined, stoichiometric [dendrimer (core) fuUerene (shell) ] nanocompotmd, i.e., [S-l (H-5)3o] core-shell-type as shown in Fig. 27. These structures were characterized extensively by MALDI-TOF, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-vis spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infirared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Such nanocompounds exhibited new fullerene-like solubility and photo-properties by readily generating singlet 02 in either aqueous or organic solvents. However, they offered other unique features such as larger size and nanocontainer-type properties that would normally be associated with the dendrimer core interior.

Using flow micro-calorimetry. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy techniques the surface activity of different types of carbon black with secondary antioxidants (aryl phosphites and phosphonites) have been examined. Both in the overall adsorption activity and the levels of probe adsorption significant differences were observed. Two factors were reported which were found to influence the behaviour of phosphite stabilisers. 29 refs.
