Theory of infrared
absorption spectra and how
an infrared spectrometer works
Uses - applications of infrared
spectroscopy - what can we learn from an infrared spectrum?
Some simple NMR-IR
problem solving questions
Index of infrared spectra
of organic compounds
(add links to organic section indexes)
(Some alternative names and 'old names' still in
common use - including many internet databases!)
Most of the spectra are produced from thin liquid films, a
few involve the vapour of low boiling compounds and the infrared
spectra of solids can be obtained from a compressed disc of the
compound in potassium bromide ('KBR disc').
