IR spectroscopy techniques

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a method used to identify and analyze molecules by measuring how they absorb infrared light. When IR light passes through a sample, different bonds within molecules absorb specific wavelengths, causing unique absorption patterns known as spectra. These spectra serve as molecular fingerprints, allowing scientists to determine the types of bonds and functional groups present in a substance. IR spectroscopy is widely used in chemistry, pharmacy, and materials science for qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds, providing valuable insights into molecular structure and composition.
