Where some overlap may occur in a particular area, a few selected references to Raman or FT-Raman spectroscopy are included. OVERVIEW OF ANALYTICAL INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY Infrared radiation is commonly defined as electromagnetic radiation with frequencies between 14 300 and 20 cm-1 (0.7 and 500 µm). When a normal molecular motion such as a vibration, rotation, rotation/vibration or lattice mode, or combination, difference, or overtone of these normal vibrations results in a change in the molecule’s dipole moment, a molecule absorbs infrared radiation in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The corresponding frequencies and intensities of these infrared bands, the infrared spectrum, may be used to characterize the material. Infrared spectral information may be used to identify the presence and amount of a particular compound in a mixture. Different classes of chemical compounds contain structural units that absorb infrared radiation at essential similar frequencies and intensities within that class of compound. These bands are called “group frequencies”. The infrared spectroscopist uses knowledge of these group frequencies to predict the structures of unknown molecules when standard infrared spectra are not available. Sample collection and presentation accessories exist which allow the analyst to collect spectra as solids, liquids, vapors, and in solution, at various temperatures, and while undergoing mechanical deformation. Experiments conducted under such conditions assist the spectroscopist in the determination of the structures of molecules in different phases as well as structure/ property relationships of materials. Modern instrumentation allows the collection of infrared spectra of materials at low-picogram levels. The ability of infrared spectroscopy to examine and identify materials under such a wide variety of conditions has earned this technique the premier position as the “workhorse” of analytical science.

IR spectroscopy has been utilized to analyze fire gases from burning polyurethane foams (F245). IR spectroscopy is assessed for the measurement of greenhouse gases from terrestrial ecosystems with examples for N2O from fertilized grassland and CH4 from forest soil given (F246). IR spectroscopy was used to study pollutant gas absorption onto activated charcoal (F247). The results from measurement of ferrocyanide and oxy anion contents in simulated waste sludges by FT-IR reflection indicate the viability of this approach to characterize highly radioactive waste sludges (F248). IR spectroscopy and GC/MS revealed damage in hepatic DNA of fish exposed to toxic environmental chemicals (F249). Damage was inferred from spectral changes in NH vibrations of nucleotide bases and CO vibrations of deoxyribose. FOOD AND AGRICULTURE Infrared spectroscopies continue to find valuable applications in the food and agricultural industries. The applications include categorizing foods, determination of oil and fat content in food, process and product control, and fodder analysis for livestock production. Reviews of the use of mid-IR spectroscopy in food analysis (G1) and on-line quality and process control (G2) have been written. A technology review of methods using near-IR analysis in the corn milling and refining industry has been published (G3). Application of near-IR in the diary sector has been reviewed (G4). Infrared spectroscopies were used in authentication and classification of food products and determination of contaminant adulteration. Near-IR spectroscopy with principal component analysis was used to discriminate three different orange juice sources (G5) and investigate the adulteration of 65 authentic concentrated orange juice samples (G6). Discrimination of coffee beans from two different species was demonstrated using mid-IR spectroscopy (G7, G8), and the actual coffee content in some coffee mixtures was determined using near-IR and mid-IR spectroscopies (G9). Discriminant analysis in combination with midIR was used to authenticate fruit purees (G10) and used in conjunction with near-IR to authenticate commercial wheat flour (G11). Discriminant analysis with infrared spectroscopy was successfully applied to the authentication of vegetables oils (G12). Near-IR spectroscopy was applied to the detection of foreign substances in milk (G13). Contaminants in white sugar were identified using IR spectroscopy (G14). Attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy was investigated for quantitation of adulterants in olive oil (G15). Fat, protein, and lactose were quantitated in unhomogenizied raw bovine milk using near-IR (G16). Protein content was also determined using near-IR and a correlation developed previously for protein content in oil-in-water emulsions (G17). Meanwhile, homogenization efficiencies (G18, G19) and nonlinearities (G20) in IR milk analyzers were demonstrated to affect fat determination. Components that have interfering spectral regions also were demonstrated to affect milk analysis (G21, G22). An attenuated reflectance infrared spectroscopic technique demonstrated rapid quality control for fat and solids in sweetened condensed milk (G23). Trans fatty acids formed during biohydrogenation were quantified in cow milk fat as the methyl ester derivatives using

IR (G24). Two novel trans fatty acids were identified during the study. Near-IR analysis was used to determine fat, protein, and total solids in cheese without sample treatment (G25). Various sample handling and data treatment methods for determining moisture and fat in cheddar cheese using near-IR were compared (G26). Triglyceride levels in cheeses were investigated using capillary supercritical fluid chromatography/infrared spectroscopy/flame ionization detection (G27). “Flora” cheeses showed exclusively unsaturated triglycerides while saturated triglycerides were predominant in cheddar cheeses. Enzymic hydrolysis of milk was analyzed using diffuse reflectance near-IR (G28). Plated colonies of the microorganism Clostridium were identified using IR (G29). In the same study, Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the fat content of milk powder. Finally, near-IR was calibrated for determination of main constituentssprotein, fat, lactose, and total caseinsin goat’s milk (G30). A method for monitoring and predicting enzymic hydrolysis of κ-casein in milk was developed and tested using diffuse reflectance near-IR (G31). With just a few exceptions, near-IR continues to dominate the analysis of grains. Near-IR transmittance and reflectance were found to be comparable in accuracy and reproducibility for determination of protein, oil, and moisture in several grains and seeds (G32). Three commercial near-IR analyzers were compared for the determination of oil, protein, and glucosinolates in canola seeds and found to perform equally well (G33). High correlation with the total level of fatty acids was also found but was not good enough to enable routine use of the method to quantitate. NearIR reflectance was able to predict the wet-milling starch yield from corn with errors at least as good as the reference method (G34). Near-IR reflectance was also shown to determine the protein and oil content of oat cultivars with results well correlated to the reference techniques (G35). Near-IR transmittance of unground brown rice or milled rice adequately screened for amylose content in a breeding program (G36, G37). Protein measurements in rye were demonstrated using near-IR reflectance (G38). Near-IR reflectance at 1680 and 2230 nm can be used to determine hardness in wheat, which was found to be linearly related to grain moisture for hard but not for soft wheat (G39). The feasibility of using near-IR transmittance to perform single-kernel analysis in wheat was explored and showed a model accuracy of 0.85-0.93 with standard errors of prediction of 0.4-0.9% protein (G40). Positioning of the sample kernel in the instrument is a significant factor contributing to variance. Glucose, maltose, and maltodextrins are satisfactorily analyzed in extracts from a process of wheat transformation into sugar using an ATR accessory with a IR spectrophotometer (G41). Infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy showed good predictive ability for analysis of starch, protein, and lipid in single pea seeds (G42). The choice of validation procedures was shown important in using near-IR to predict moisture, proteins, and oils in soybeans (G43). An IR-based milk analyzer offers a rapid approach for the investigation of grain protein solubility (G44). Water uptake and retention in individual grain kernels were observed and mapped using D2O and IR microspectroscopy (G45). Vegetable oils can be differentiated using discriminant analysis with near-IR reflectance (G46), principal component analysis and near-IR (G47), and principal component analysis and mid-IR with the use of attenuated total reflectance (G48). An infrared method has been developed for determination of cis and trans contents

of fats and oils (G49). In addition to determining the total trans unsaturated fatty acid content in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, the fatty acid composition can be established using GC/IR (G50). Dual-beam infrared thermal spectrometry used for the determination of trans fatty acid content in margarine showed an improvement in sensitivity of at least 2 orders on magnitude over the traditional IR technique (G51). The total dimer and polymer triglyceride level in used frying fats and oils was quantitated using near-IRS (G52). A quantitative method for peroxide values in vegetable oils has been described using IR (G53). IR spectroscopy was used to monitor the oxidation of edible oils and determining the oxidative state of the oils (G54). The absorption of oleic acid (G55) and soybean oil triglycerides (G56) on silicic acid has been studied using diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy. Bread making has also been investigated using IR and nearIR spectroscopies. For example, five parameters important to the bread quality of wheat flour were explored using near-IR but only water absorption was successfully modeled (G57). However, nearIRS did successfully model moisture and protein in whole grains of bread wheat (G58). Investigation of the interactions between emulsifiers with gluten and amino acids (G59) revealed that the amino acid GLx in gluten is critical for complexation of gluten. Additional investigation into the interaction of emulsifiers with starch and flour and in dough provided data on the strength of bonding and the nature of the bonding emulsifier and dough component (G60). Attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy was demonstrated as a means of assessing quality of processed meat products by determining the protein-to-lipid ratio (G61). Protein and fat content in meat was determined using IR (G62). Fiber-optic nearIR instruments were shown to be suitable for determination of fat and moisture in salmon fillets while near-IR diffuse reflectance was used to determine fat, moisture, and protein contents in whole and ground fillets (G63). Near-IR reflectance and transmittance analyses were performed on sausage and sausage mixes for prediction of NaCl content (G64). The management of livestock fodder has also received attention using IR and near-IR spectroscopy. Near-IR reflectance was applied to prediction of the nutritive value of Mediterranean tree and shrub foliage (G65), total and phytate phosphorus in vegetable feed stocks (G66), chemical composition and energy value of compound feeds for cattle (G67), and analysis of fresh grass silage (G68). Calibration methods for using near-IR reflectance to discriminate fodders to improve accuracy and reduce calibration costs (G69) and for single- and multiproduct calibrations (G70) have been explored. Near-IR and mid-IR diffuse reflectance spectroscopies were compared for the quantitative determination of the composition of forages and byproducts (G71). Nutrient digestion of hay by cattle may be correlated with specific regions of the near-IR spectrum (G72). Plant studies were impacted by IR and near-IR spectroscopy. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of sugar beet leaves by nearIR can be used to study the influence of fertilizers and predict protein, nitrogen, and saccharides (G73). Compositional modification of the plasma membrane from spinach followed by horizontal attenuated total reflectance (HATR) IR could be associated with flower induction (G74). Nonstructural carbohydrate can be determined using near-IR (G75). Near-IR was used to study lipid concentrations in aerial plant tissue of maize (G76).

heterogeneous and biologically complex grasslands (G77). Chitinase activity in tall fescue grass seedlings was measured using near-IR (G78). On-line control of the brewing process has received the attention of several investigators. Near-IR transmission spectroscopy was used to determine glucose, maltose, maltotriose, nitrogen, free R-amino nitrogen, and β-glucans in wort as part of an effort in process control of mashing (G79). Even though midIR spectroscopy gave slightly better results in determination of fermentable sugars and nitrogenous compounds in wort, near-IR was recommended for in-line process control of mashing because of simpler sample handling (G80). Sample selection spectrophotometer calibration and standardization were discussed as it relates to multivariate calibration and calibration transfer of near-IR analysis in malting and brewing (G81). Near-IR reflectance spectroscopy was shown to be a rapid method for determination of glycogen (G82) and trehalose (G83) in pitching yeast. Alcohol content and original extract was monitored in the brewing process using near-IR with a single-strand fiber-optic accessory (G84). The use of near-IR in-line and density/sound velocity methodologies were compared for use in blending high-gravity beers (G85). NearIR transmittance for fast process and product control in breweries and malthouses has been reviewed (G86). First-derivative spectra in the mid-IR region can be used to determine ethanol content in beers (G87, G88). A near-IR method has also been developed for ethanol as well as maltose in beers (G89). Total soluble nitrogen and free amino nitrogen in beers can be predicted using dry extract spectroscopy with IR reflection, but bitterness was poorly correlated (G90). A qualitative description of constituents in spirits can be obtained using GC/IR/MS (G91). The effects of H2O, pH, ionic strength, and physical state in sugars and carbohydrates were explored in order to better understand calibration accuracy differences in near-IR seen between high-moisture and dried materials (G92). Spectral features that were characteristic for identification purposes to glucose, fructose, and sucrose in near-IR and mid-IR spectra (G93) were identified. Infrared spectroscopy was used to follow changes in heattreated soybean proteins (G94). Multistage retrogradation of potato starch was observed using IR spectroscopy where the firststage results from crystallizing amylose regions and the secondstage results from amylopectin crystallization (G95). Hydration of the water-insoluble high-Mr glutenin by IR and NMR revealed structural and molecular interaction changes (G96). Starch damage determination by four techniques including near-IR spectroscopy have been compared (G97). Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch can be monitored using near-IR spectroscopy (G98). IR and Raman spectroscopy are capable of evaluating the loss of lignin and hemicellulose following specific pretreatments of plant fibers (G99). Protein conformations were explored using IR for the gobular proteins 11S and 7S from peas (G100) and β-conglycinin in soybeans (G101). The IR technique was more sensitive to some conformational changes than was circular dichroism. Glycosidic linkages and stereochemistry in several oligosaccharides in the crystalline state were studied using IR and Raman spectroscopies (G102). Rapid determination of the double-bond configuration and position in cyclic fatty acid monomers from heated flax seed oil is possible using GC/MS and GC/matrix isolation-IR (G103). The double-bond positional isomerization process in linseed oil 106R

Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 68, No. 12, June 15, 1996

has been studied using UV, IR, and Raman spectroscopy (G104). IR spectroscopy was demonstrated as a quantitative method for determining food-grade mineral hydrocarbons in diet and tissue (G105). The quantitation of poly(ethylene glycol) in nutritional studies appears to be possible using IR (G106). IR spectroscopy and GC/MS were used to identify and quantify components in a commercial liquid smoke flavoring (G107). Identification of nonvolatile compounds in microwave susceptor packaging designed for browning foods in microwave ovens was accomplished using SFC/IR and SFC/MS (G108). COAL AND CARBON High Carbon Black-Loaded Samples. An easy sampling technique of wet grinding was devised to make KBr disks from insoluble, cross-linked elastomers for transmission IR examinations. The method was used to obtain satisfactory transmission IR spectra of some cured rubbers including samples with a high carbon black load (H1). External reflection FT-IR spectrometry in combination with partial least-squares regression allows qualitative and quantitative analysis of rubber materials with a high carbon black content (up to 35% w/w). The method developed proves to be reproducible and yields reliable qualitative information. The prediction potential of the method is shown to be sufficient for semiquantitative analysis (H2). Three novel methods of obtaining vibrational spectra of four different carbon black-filled polymers were evaluated: transmission IR spectroscopy using a diamond anvil cell, Raman spectroscopy using 780-nm excitation, and inelastic neutron scattering. None of the three methods was totally satisfactory, but for most purposes IR spectroscopy provides the best results in terms of spectrometer accessibility and the availability of suitable reference collections. Raman spectroscopy was successful in obtaining a spectrum only with one of the four polymers. Inelastic neutron scattering was successful in obtaining a spectrum with all four materials, but this success occurred only with respect to the hydrogenic part of the polymer, and for many materials, it is the herteroelements, O, S, and halogens, that determine the important physical properties of the compound (H3). Three IR spectroscopic methodssphotoacoustic, diffuse reflectance, and transmissionswere evaluated for the qualitative analysis of carbon fibers. The transmission spectra using a potassium bromide pellet are subject to interference by water in the KBr pellet. Extensive dehydration of a KBr pellet at elevated temperatures may cause chemical changes. In contrast, photoacoustic and diffuse reflectance methods are free of water interference. Both methods differentiate the near-surface region of a carbon fiber from its bulk, thus providing information about chemical structures in the near-surface. The photoacoustic, diffuse reflectance, and transmission spectra IR spectra of a carbon fiber have similar band frequencies (H4). FT-IR photoacoustic spectroscopy was used to study the distribution of the oxidation products between the surface and the bulk of the precursor carbon fiber during the stabilization process and to evaluate the degree of oxidation in the near-surface of the stabilized fiber. The distribution of the oxidation products is homogeneous during the first 70 min of the stabilization process. In the last 10 min of the process, however, the near-surface of the carbon fiber is completely oxidized, whereas the bulk has a lower degree of oxidation. It was also found that incomplete

oxidation in the near-surface of a precursor carbon fiber may cause inferior mechanical properties of the fiber (H5). The Kubelka-Munk theory was applied to the thicknessdependent diffuse reflectance of black-painted samples in the midIR. The calculated absorption and scattering coefficients are wavenumber-dependent. The reflectance of the nonideal backing also shows spectral features, which were attributed to the reflections from the boundary surface between the scattering medium and the substrate. The spectral dependence of scattering penetration depth is caused by the scattering and absorption processes. At some wavenumbers, the diffuse reflectance is independent of layer thickness, because of particular values of the parameters of the applied theory (H6). Coal Analysis. The results of applying a least-squares procedure with polynomials are given to obtain a mathematical model of the IR spectra of coals, useful for smoothing, band resolution, peak finding, and data compression (H7). Seven West Virginia coals as well as their N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone soluble extracts and residues were examined by diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy. The nature of the OH bands in the raw coals is different from those in the extracts where the OH groups exhibit weaker hydrogen bonding. It is also found that the extracts and residues have the same aliphatic-to-aromatic ratio but more OH groups than their parent raw coals. This indicates that the total OH group content is increased in the extracts and residues after extraction (H8). The gradual changes of the main functional groups of coal samples after chemical pretreatment and solubilization were examined by FT-IR and diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy. Pretreatment included heating at 300 °C (decarboxylation), oxidation with performic acid, esterification of surface carboxyl with triethyl orthoformate followed by LiAlH4 reduction, Omethylation with (CH3O)2SO2, reduction K-THF-propanol, and reductive methylation with K-THF-CH3I (H9). A set of pyridine-soluble coal extracts, previously characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy using the KBr pellet technique, were characterized using FT-IR diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy. The aromatic-to-aliphatic CH band area ratios were plotted against the aromatic-to-aliphatic ratios of Ch contents determined by 1H NMR, thus allowing the determination of average absorption coefficients. This quantity varied with coal origin but also differed from that obtained using KBr pellets. This latter procedure produced superior correlations and was preferred for accurate quantitative work (H10). Fourier self-deconvolution improves the qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of FT-IR spectra of coals and their N-methyl2-pyrrolidinone extraction products. Several samples of coals (rank ranging from 85.6 to 92.4 wt % C) were studied. Four spectral regions were selected for discussion, and several ratios were calculated. These data led to a comparison of the structural characteristics of the coals and of their extraction products. The results are discussed in relation to the various trends observed in the samples, the possible relations with Gieseler fluidity of coals, and the sizes of molecular orientations in the relevant cokes obtained by pyrolysis at 1000 °C (H11). A curve-fitting technique based on parameters derived from the literature was demonstrated capable of providing useful and reliable data about coal structure and functional group concentrations when applied to selected regions of the FT-IR spectra of coal (H12).

Dry-phase oxidation of two subbituminous coals and a lignite was carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor at 200 °C, at different oxygen partial pressures and reaction times up to 4 h. The formation and evolution of various oxygenated functional groups (ester, carboxyl, ketone, hydroxyl) was investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy using a curve-resolving procedure and acetylation of coal samples. The development of alkali solvolysis of the coal as a function of reaction time was studied and the average molecular weight of regenerated humic acids (RHA) extracted from the oxidized coal was determined. The lower molecular weight of RHA extracted from highly oxidized coal samples suggests that besides the buildup of various oxygenated functional groups, the development of alkali solvolysis also results from concomitant “depolymerization” of the coal cross-links and formation of ester groups hydrolyzable in basic solution. The FT-IR results were correlated with the development of alkali solvolysis. Some oxidation pathways are proposed (H13). A modified Leitz hot stage fitted to a Spectra-Tech microscope and interfaced with a Nicolet 20-SXC FT-IR spectrometer was used to collect IR spectra from a series of heat-treated coal or kerogen samples. Spectra were collected in the reflected light mode prior to and then during or after heat treatment. This provided a means to monitor organic functional group changes or depletion resulting from heat treatment. The IR spectra obtained were similar to diffuse reflectance IR spectra. A significant portion of the surface coke generated during pyrolysis of oil shales may originate from migration of hydrocarbons to the particle surface, where they disproportionate to volatile matter and semicoke rather than strictly from surface coking of vapor-phase hydrocarbons (H14). The applicability of the reflectance micro-FT-IR technique to analyze the distribution of functional groups in coal is discussed. The spectra of a series of coals from lignite to anthracite obtained using reflectance micro-FT-IR were compared with those of the same materials but obtained using transmission micro-FT-IR and KBr pellet techniques. This comparison shows that (1) band absorbances in the transmission mode are much higher than those in the reflectance mode, (2) band peak positions are the same in the transmission and reflectance modes as long as KramersKroning transformation is applied, and (3) the 700-900-cm-1 aromatic-dominated region has higher absorbance in the reflectance than the transmission mode. The results indicate that reflectance spectra can be utilized to characterize functional groups in organic matter under most conditions. The ease of sample preparation, the potential to analyze large intact samples, and the ability to characterize areas as small as 30 µm are the main advantages of reflectance micro-FT-IR (H15). Infrared microspectroscopy was employed for the in situ examination of coal macerals during oxidation. From a comparison of reconstituted spectral data based on the individual maceral characteristics with those extracted from powdered bulk sample, the reactivity of powdered coals cannot account either for the mechanisms occurring at the maceral level or for possible maceral/maceral or mineral/maceral interactions during oxidation. In addition, the coupling of IR spectrometry to a microscope provides more accurate quantitative data on the intensity of IR bands, which are usually perturbed either by diffusion or water adsorption on KBr pellets. The data presented confirm that coal is a highly heterogeneous material not only from a sedimentology or composition standpoint but also from the reactivity standpoint (H16).

A modified method is described for the determination of the aromatic, naphthenic, and paraffinic carbon contents of blended base oils by IR spectroscopy. These oils are blends of mineral base oils and linear alkylbenzenes (LAB) or heavy alkylated benzenes (HAB). The Brandes equation has been modified to account for the absorptivity of LAB/HAB, using 13C NMR data as a reference. The results obtained by applying the new equation to such blends agree well with those obtained by NMR. This new method can be used for rapid and convenient quality control during base oil production (H17). Diamond-Like Carbon Films. The influence of hydrogen incorporation on the microstructure of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (R-C:H) films has been studied in detail by applying several complementary methods, i.e., elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), hydrogen evolution, and IR absorption measurements, to two series of samples prepared by two different techniques, representative of diamond-like and polymer-like R-C:H. The analysis of the changes of the IR vibrational spectra over a large frequency range upon annealing at increasing temperatures up to 600 °C allowed one to obtain insights into both the C-H and C-C bonding modifications (H18). Data on the optical response of amorphous carbon layers are presented. The layers investigated range from well-insulating polymer-like layers via hard “diamond-like” layers to well-conducting graphite-like layers. The spectral range investigated covers parts of the far-IR, the mid-IR, the near-IR, and the visible spectral regions. The data are presented and discussed in terms of parameters of commonly accepted dispersion models and absorption assumptions (Penn model, Lorentzian oscillator model, Urbach edge, Tauc edge). Special attention is paid to the refractive index dispersion behavior. The influence of contaminations such as nitrogen and oxygen is investigated (H19). Polycrystalline and homoepitaxial diamond films deposited from 12C- and 13C-containing gases were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. Some spectral structures in the known C-H stretch band at ∼2850 cm-1 omnipresent in polycrystalline films are related to the incorporation of N. In homoepitaxial diamond films, the isotopic replacement of C, H, and N by 13C, 2H, and 15N reveals that a CH center without N participation is responsible for a new vibrational absorption band observed at 3123 cm-1 in the spectral vicinity of the previously observed 3107-cm-1 absorption band in natural diamond. The bond-centered position can be excluded for this vibrational transition. New H-related electronic transitions were observed in the near-IR at ∼7300 cm-1 (H20). A computer-controlled rotating polarizer ellipsometer, operating in the IR spectral region between 3.00 and 3.75 µm, has been developed for the in situ characterization of amorphous hydrocarbon (R-C:H) thin films, deposited from methane in a rf plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. Spectroscopic IR ellipsometry permits insight into the chemical-bonding structure of R-C:H coatings by the nondestructive detection of IR-stimulated C-H stretch vibrations. It is shown that the sp2 CHx-to-sp3 CHx ratio, the content of bonded hydrogen, the IR line width, and the real refractive index of the films depend on the negative self-bias voltage, which is formed at the samples during the deposition process. A transition from R-C:H films with polymer-like properties to hard R-C:H films was attained at a self-bias voltage of ∼-75 V (H21). Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, prepared by the dual-ion beam sputtering method on a glass substrate, were thermally 108R

annealed in vacuum for 30 min at 300, 400, 500, and 600 °C, respectively. Electrical resistivity, IR transmittance, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the films before and after annealing. The results showed that the vacuum thermal annealing caused a decrease and even the removal of bond-angle disorder and an increase of the sp2 C-C-bond-dominated crystallite size and/or number in the films. This then led to decreases in both film resistivity and optical transmittance of the specimens. The most substantial changes in the structure and in electrical and optical properties occurred at a temperature higher that 400 °C. The annealing effects of diamond-like carbon films in vacuum are nearly the same as those in hydrogen or in nitrogen atmospheres (H22). A new deposition method with laser-induced controlled vacuum arc (Laser-Arc) was used for the thin-film deposition of DLC films onto different material (ZnSe, KRS-5, Corning 7059, KBr, KCl, NaCl). Carbon films between 50 and 200 nm thick deposited at different deposition rates (0.1-2 nm/s) and pulse durations (37 µs, 200 µs) were studied. The coated substrates were characterized by UV/visible, near-IR, and Fourier transform IR spectroscopy in the wavenumber range between 400 and 50 000 cm-1 (H23). Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) were used to study diamond-like nanocomposite (DLN) and metal-containing DLN (M-DLN) films. The FT-IR spectra showed no appreciable absorption from the C-H stretch vibration band in DLN when 1-kV rf bias voltage was applied. Thermal annealing (450 °C for 2 h) of (a) DLN and Cr-DLN films caused no change in the Raman spectra while (b) for Pt-DLN films there was a blue shift of both the crystalline (G) and microcrystalline (D) graphite-like features, increase in the ID/IG intensity ratio, and a decrease in the line widths. The changes observed were more pronounced in the film with the highest Pt concentration. The STM image of this Pt-DLN film revealed a structure of aromatic graphite rings (H24). Diamond-like carbon film, prepared by the dual-ion beam sputtering method, was irradiated by 110-keV Fe+ ions up to a fluence of 1 × 1017 ions/cm2. The IR absorption spectrum, the electrical resistivity of the film, Raman spectrum, Auger electronic spectroscopy, and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy were used to characterize the film before and/or after the irradiation. The 110-keV Fe+ ion irradiation led to the breaking of C-H bonds and, consequently, the decrease of sp3 C-H and sp2 C-H bonds. The irradiation also led to the decrease of the bond-angle disorder and the growth in size and/or number of sp2 bond-dominated crystallites in the film. More serious damage was introduced in the near-surface region of the film, and thus more graphite-like structure was formed in this region (H25). Analysis of C60/C70 Fullerenes. The IR spectrum of solid C60 exhibits many weak vibrational modes. Symmetry breaking due to 13C isotopes provides a possible route for optically activating IR-silent vibrational modes. Experimental spectra and a semiempirical theory on natural abundance and 13C-enriched single crystals of C60 are presented. By comparing the experimental results with the theoretical results, the authors exclude this isotopic activation mechanism from the explanation for weakly active fundamentals in the spectra (H26). The harmonic vibrational frequencies of C60 have been calculated at the local distance level by using analytic second derivatives. The calculated values for the observed IR and Raman transitions are in good agreement with the experimental values

and suggest that there are a number of misassigned bands based on thick-film IR and Raman measurements. The calculated transitions have been used to provide tentative assignments to the peaks observed by inelastic neutron scattering and highresolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (H27). The symmetry coordinate treatment of the intramolecular vibration of C60 is developed. The symmetry coordinate is useful to calculate the weighted phonon spectrum and the IR spectrum of isotopically mixed 13Cn12C60-n. The calculated oscillator strength of the intramolecular vibration is not consistent with the IR spectrum observed by Zakhidov et al. The partial substitution causes no drastic change except broadening of the main bands and appearance of weak bands. The calculated weighted phonon spectra are similar to those reported by Deaven and Rikhsar. The effect of symmetry breaking due to the partial substitution of 13C on the intramolecular vibrations as well as on the isotope shift of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of the C60 superconductor is discussed (H28). A survey of solvents with a wide variation of solvolysis for C60 and a broad variation in dielectric constant was made for possible red shifting of the linear absorbance spectra. Initial analysis shows that very small shifts are achieved. Molar extinction spectra were measured for C60 in each solvent in both the standard mode and with an integrating sphere. Comparison of the two methods has shown strong scattering effects (H29). High-resolution Raman spectra excited from 1.45 to 1.75 eV are presented for solid C60 films and crystals prepared by four methods. Intersample comparison shows that imperfections introduced in sample preparation can lower symmetries sufficiently to activate silent modes, while oxygen has no visible effect. Unusual resonance and broadening effects observed near 1.6 eV indicate the existence of a weak electronic transition. Explicit calculations for C60 molecules having one or two 13C atoms reproduce the observed spectra and show that isotopic symmetry lowering is manifested in lifting the Hg degeneracies and activation of silent modes through mixing with nearby Raman-active modes (H30). The far-IR transmission of polycrystalline C60 and C70 compacts has been measured from 3 to 330 cm-1 as a function of temperature. Both intrinsic and impurity-induced absorption bands are identified in these samples. The low-temperature phase of C60 is observed to have two IR-active transitional modes at 40.9 and 54.7 cm-1. Samples of C60 exposed to air before cooling to low temperatures contain several additional bands which have been identified with absorbed H2O vapor. A large isotope shift is observed for some of the bands when H2O is replaced with D2O, consistent with rotational or vibrational behavior. For C70, one strong intrinsic band is centered at 21 cm-1 and four much weaker bands occur at 28, 32, 52, and 64 cm-1 (H31). The authors report the measurement of IR transmission of large C60 single crystals. The spectra exhibit a very rich structure with over 180 vibrational absorptions visible in the 100-4000 cm-1 range. Many silent modes were observed to have become weakly IR active. The authors also observed a large number of higherorder combination modes. The temperature (77-300 K) and pressure (0-25 kbar) dependencies of these modes were measured and are presented. Careful analysis of the IR spectra, in conjunction with existing Raman-scattering data showing secondorder modes and existing neutron-scattering data, allowed the selection of the 46 vibrational modes of C60. The authors were

able to fit all of the first- and second-order data seen in the present IR spectra and the previously published Raman data (∼300 lines total), by using these 46 modes and their group theory-allowed second-order combinations (H32). The gas-phase IR emission spectra of C60 and C70 were recorded by FT-IR spectroscopy. The measurements were carried out in the temperature range 500-950 °C, and the band positions were extrapolated to 0 K. In addition to the strong fundamental bands, numerous weak features were observed. The authors attribute these weak bands primarily to binary combination modes (H33). The molecular nature of solid C60 permits observation of very sharp higher-order Raman and IR spectra quite different from the broad features generally observed in solid-state crystals. Observation of these higher-order spectral features together with symmetry-lowering 13C isotope substitutions permits experimental identification of all 46 intramolecular vibrational modes. Knowledge of these mode frequencies and their symmetries provides important information for the interpretation of many experiments including those related to the superconduction of alkali metaldoped C60 compounds (H34). A study of the Raman and IR spectra of the sp2-bonded carbon clusters C60 and C70, performed in the framework of a threeparameter bond-charge model based on a transferable interaction potential, is presented. A consistent calculation of the relative amplitudes and of the static polarizability has been performed with only one additional parameter besides those entering the dynamics. The calculated spectra are compared with the existing experimental data for C60 and C70. Very good agreement is found for the Raman spectrum of both clusters, whereas the agreement for IR spectra is less satisfactory (H35). The authors report results of IR reflectivity and transmission measurements in the spectral range from 50 to 5000 cm-1 for crystallographic {111} and {100} planes of C60 single crystals between 80 and 460 K. The spectra turned out to be highly anisotropic due to differences in geometric resonances. The geometries used allowed detailed simultaneous study of the four IR active F1u fundamental modes together with some weak silent modes and the whole set of second- and third-order combination modes from an analysis of the reflection/transmission response (H36). Absorption spectra are detected for C60- and C602- produced electrolytically in solution at room temperature. Theoretical analysis of the spectrum of C60- by CNDO/S calculations gives an interpretation of the characteristic near-IR bands, the weak visible bands, and the strong bands in the UV region. The emission spectrum of C60- is a mirror image of near-IR absorption band. The nature of the spectrum of C602- is characterized by an orbital picture similar to that of C60- (H37). The authors consider IR absorption in charged and photoexcited C60 using a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented by a force field model to treat molecular vibrations. Intensities are calculated by assuming the principal cause of the absorption is the charged phonon effect. The authors’ calculated frequencies for C60 and C60-6 are in good agreement with the experimental results but the calculated intensities are at best in qualitative agreement. For photoexcited C60 and C60-, the calculations indicate a number of additional IR peaks which are in principle accessible to experiment (H38). Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 68, No. 12, June 15, 1996

The IR spectra of CO2 and N2O absorbed on C60, graphite, and diamond films were recorded at low temperatures. The IR spectra of absorbed CO2 and N2O indicate that only one absorption site is present for all three allotropes. When CO2 is absorbed on C60 and graphite, removal of degeneracy of the ν2 vibrational mode occurs. When N2O is absorbed on the three absorbents, there is no removal of degeneracy of the ν2 vibrational mode, which appears as a single band. Large spectral shifts of the ν3 band and longer desorption times are recorded for both CO2 and N2O adsorbed on C60, relative to the small spectral shifts and shorter desorption times recorded on graphite and diamond. These results indicate a strong interaction of these adsorbates with C60 compared to the other carbon allotropes (H39). A large amount of CO2 absorption in C60 solid was found under a supercritical CO2 treatment. Absorption kinetics show that the process is significantly slower than normal physical adsorptions and is accelerated with increasing temperature. The CO2 IR absorptions are observed at 2329 and 651 cm-1, suggesting a strong interaction between CO2 and C60. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms show a remarkable effect of the CO2 absorption on the orientational phase transition at 250 K of C60 crystals (H40). Thin films of C60 were deposited at 78 K on KBr(100) substrates prepared by cleaving in ultrahigh vacuum. The thickness of the film was monitored by recording the IR spectrum of C60 at different polarizations. FT-IR spectra of CO and CO2 adsorbed on the C60 film were measured under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. At pressures of
