INTERPRETATION OF INFRARED SPECTRA, SECOND EDITION An Audio Course Produced by the American Chemical Society This updated edition of the ACS bestseller audio course sets the standard in teaching the basics of IR interpretation! Learn how to successfully interpret IR spectra of organic compounds and master the basic theory you need to understand how electromagnetic radiation interacts with molecules. Study the important vibrational principles behind IR absorption. Sharpen your technical knowledge of the fundamentals of instrumentation, sample preparation, and current techniques. Focus on interpretation of the spectra with particular emphasis on the nature of the vibrations involved. Investigate quantitative analysis and concentrate on group frequencies of many common function groups. This course is useful to anyone who uses infrared spectroscopy to solve a wide variety of chemical problems. Although no experience with IR interpretation is necessary, a basic knowledge of organic chemistry and elementary physics would be helpful to fully benefit from this course. Special feature! This new edition provides you with a separate appendex that includes 75 unknown spectra for analysis. Brief Course Contents Basic Theory: electromagnetic spectrum; molecular vibrations; infrared absorption; dipole moment change; anaharmonicity; oscillators; overtone, combination, and difference bands; Fermi resonance; Raman effect. Instrumentation and Sample Preparation: grating monochromator; interferometer; IR transmitting materials; liquid cells; mulls and KBr discs; Internal reflection. Quantitative Analysis: Beer's Law; ratio methods; multicomponent analysis. Vibrational Interactions: diatomic vibrations; Stretching-stretching interactions; bending interactions. Group Frequency Analysis: CH2 and CH3 groups; C = C groups; triple bonds and cumulated double bonds; benzene rings; OH and C—Ο groups; C = 0 groups; nitrogen containing groups; sulfur and phosphorous groups containing groups. About the Instructor Norman B. Colthup holds a B.S. degree from Antioch College and an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Fisk University. He is author of numerous publications in the field of infrared spectroscopy, including his widely distributed chart of IR spectra-chemical structure correlation tables. He is also author of the textbook introduction to Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, which he coauthored with L.H. Daly and S E . Wiberly. He has lectured widely
and has conducted the popular ACS Short Course on infrared spectroscopy. In 1979 he was given the Williams-Wright Award from the Colblentz Society.
