Abstract:
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is utilized to study and analyze molecular vibrations. Depending on characteristics of the molecule such as mass, bonding strength and shape will determine where the FTIR peaks lie in the spectrum. These peaks can determine what functional groups exist along with chemical identification via FTIR spectroscopic libraries. This presentation will give an introduction on FTIR spectral interpretation and using spectroscopic libraries for functional group and chemical identification.
