Application of IR

• Identification of compounds by matching spectrum of unknown compound with reference

  spectrum (fingerprinting)

• Detection of molecular impurities or additives present in amounts

• Identification of polymers, plastics, and resins

• Analysis of formulations such as insecticides and co polymers

• Identification of functional groups in unknown substances
• Identification of reaction components and kinetic studies of reactions
• Identification of molecular orientation in polymer films

• Determination of the molecular composition of surfaces
• Identification of chromatographic effluents

• Determination of molecular conformation (structural isomers) and stereo chemistry
• Determination of molecular orientation (polymers and solutions)
