Abstract
Due to the complementary nature of infrared and Raman spectroscopy for studying the vibrational and rotational energies of molecules, it is interesting to compare the two techniques in terms of sample handling, instrumentation, and applications. This information, which is listed in Table 1, is taken from an article written by H. J. Sloan [1] and represents state-of-the-art commercial Raman instrumentation and its dispersive infrared counterparts as of ten years ago. Of course, much of this information must now be modified in light of the recent innovations in both Raman and infrared spectroscopy, and, in particular, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The recent marketing of a table-top Fourier transform infrared spectrometer by Nicolet Instruments, Inc., with a pricetag competitive with the computerized grating instruments available, establishes Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as the state-of-the-art technique for the applied chemist who does a variety of sophisticated research. In this chapter, we will attempt to summarize the state-of-the-art of infrared spectroscopy at the present time in terms of instrumentation, applications and techniques.
