Interpretation of infrared spectra


Objectives Requirements Date Location General Information


 Objectives of the course

The objective of the course is to provide very general tools of work for the interpretation of infrared spectra. It does not try to be a theoretical introduction to the infrared spectroscopy but to show some useful tools for identifying compounds taking in account the most important functional groups. It will be based on practical examples.

The course is intended preferably for users of the Molecular Spectroscopy Technology who, for his formation, are not experienced at the interpretation of infrared spectra, but who are trying to explore into the possibilities of that technology in fields so diverse as the art and cultural heritage, forensic analysis or industrial applications in general.

 Requeriments

Only for users from UB, preferably users of Molecular Spectroscopy Technology

General Considerations

- Election of the units that define the spectra

- Spectral corrections

- Positive and negative spectral interpretation

- Artifacts and common contaminants

- Multicomponent spectra


Identification of bands

- Hydrocarbons (C-H): insaturated, saturated, aromatic

- Halogen (C-X)

- Hydroxy groups (O-H)

- Eter groups (C-O)

- Amino groups (N-H)

- Carbonyl groups (C=O)

- Hetero oxy groups (Si-O, P-O)

- Inorganics (carbonates, sulfates, nitrates, silicates, phosphates...)


Study of infrared spectra

- Polymers

- Proteins

- Oils, greases and waxes

- Resins and varnishes

- Pigments

- Carbohydrates

- Fibres
