As mentioned, we also carried out IR studies (a fast vibrational spectroscopy) early in our work on carbocations. In our studies of the norbornyl cation we obtained Raman spectra as well, although at the time it was not possible to theoretically calculate the spectra. Comparison with model compounds (the 2-norbornyl system and nortri-cyclane, respectively) indicated the symmetrical, bridged nature of the ion. In recent years, Sunko and Schleyer were able, using the since-developed Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) method, to obtain the spectrum of the norbornyl cation and to compare it with the theoretically calculated one. Again, it was rewarding that their data were in excellent accord with our earlier work.

Two common detectors, which also are independent instruments, are Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers (FT-IR) and mass spectrometers (MS). In GC-FT-IR, effluent from the column flows through an optical cell constructed... 

For radiofrequency and microwave radiation there are detectors which can respond sufficiently quickly to the low frequencies (<100 GHz) involved and record the time domain specttum directly. For infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation the frequencies involved are so high (>600 GHz) that this is no longer possible. Instead, an interferometer is used and the specttum is recorded in the length domain rather than the frequency domain. Because the technique has been used mostly in the far-, mid- and near-infrared regions of the spectmm the instmment used is usually called a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer although it can be modified to operate in the visible and ultraviolet regions.

Transmission Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The most straightforward method for the acquisition of in spectra of surface layers is standard transmission spectroscopy (35,36). This approach can only be used for samples which are partially in transparent or which can be diluted with an in transparent medium such as KBr and pressed into a transmissive pellet. The extent to which the in spectral region (typically ca 600 4000 cm ) is available for study depends on the in absorption characteristics of the soHd support material. Transmission ftir spectroscopy is most often used to study surface species on metal oxides. These soHds leave reasonably large spectral windows within which the spectral behavior of the surface species can be viewed. 

Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Attenuated total redectance (atr) ftir spectroscopy is based on the principle of total internal redection (40). Methods based on internal redection in the uv and visible regions of the spectmm are also common in addition to those in the ir region. The implementation of internal redection in the ir region of the spectmm provides a means of obtaining ir spectra of surfaces or interfaces, thus providing moleculady-specific vibrational information.

Chemical Gas Detection. Spectral identification of gases in industrial processing and atmospheric contamination is becoming an important tool for process control and monitoring of air quaUty. The present optical method uses the ftir (Fourier transform infrared) interference spectrometer having high resolution (<1 cm ) capabiUty and excellent sensitivity (few ppb) with the use of cooled MCT (mercury—cadmium—teUuride) (2) detectors. 

Analytical investigations may be undertaken to identify the presence of an ABS polymer, characterize the polymer, or identify nonpolymeric ingredients. Fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy is the method of choice to identify the presence of an ABS polymer and determine the acrylonitrile—butadiene—styrene ratio of the composite polymer (89,90). Confirmation of the presence of mbber domains is achieved by electron microscopy. Comparison with available physical property data serves to increase confidence in the identification or indicate the presence of unexpected stmctural features. Identification of ABS via pyrolysis gas chromatography (91) and dsc ((92) has also been reported. 

Poly(vinyl acetate). The dielectric and mechanical spectra of hybrids produced by mixing a poly(vinyl acetate)—THE solution with TEOS, followed by the addition of HCl have been investigated (45). Mixtures were made which were beheved to be 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt % Si02, respectively. These composites were transparent and Eourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) revealed hydrogen bonding between the siUcate network and carbonyl units of the poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). No shift in the T of the composites from that of the pure PVAc was observed. Similarly, the activation... 

Most hydrocarbon resins are composed of a mixture of monomers and are rather difficult to hiUy characterize on a molecular level. The characteristics of resins are typically defined by physical properties such as softening point, color, molecular weight, melt viscosity, and solubiHty parameter. These properties predict performance characteristics and are essential in designing resins for specific appHcations. Actual characterization techniques used to define the broad molecular properties of hydrocarbon resins are Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc).

The two most useful supplementary techniques for the light microscope are EDS and FTIR microscopy. Energy dispersed x-ray systems (EDS) and Eourier-transform infrared absorption (ETIR) are used by chemical microscopists for elemental analyses (EDS) of inorganic compounds and for organic function group analyses (ETIR) of organic compounds. Insofar as they are able to characterize a tiny sample microscopically by PLM, EDS and ETIR ensure rapid and dependable identification when appHed by a trained chemical microscopist.
