Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a useful tool for probing pressure sensitive surfaces (PSA) at the micron and sub-micron level. Investigators hope that the spatial resolution of microstructure will provide clues to function. Nevertheless, AFM cannot distinguish functional group chemistry associated with topology. In contrast, FT-IR imaging microscopy is an emerging technology that has the powe...

One-step mid- and far-Fourier-transform (FT)-IR spectroscopy is a facile powerful tool that provides various information regarding chemical crystal states. However, its potentially high applicability has not been sufficiently demonstrated. In the present study, ibuprofen (IB)-loaded MgO samples are prepared via different methods, they evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogr...

The present work deals the structural and vibrational analysis of Quinoxaline molecule which is pharmaceutically and industrially important heterocyclic compound. The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of Quinoxaline have been measured in the region of 0-3700 cm and UV-Visible spectrum also was recorded. The computations were carried out by employing DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The fi...

The dogfish egg case is a composite structure that combines mechanical tensile strength, toughness and elasticity with high permeability to small molecules and ions. Presumably, it provides both a protective and a filtering role for the egg/embryo contained within it. In this work, we performed structural studies of the Galeus melastomus egg case at two different stages of the hardening process...

The vibrational fundamental modes of 7-methoxy4-bromomethylcoumarin (7BMC) have been analyzed by combining FTIR, FT-Raman and quantum chemical calculations. The structural parameters of the compound are determined from the optimized geometry by B3LYP method with 6-311++G (d, p) basis set. The harmonic vibrational frequencies were calculated and the scaled values have been compared with experime...

Interfacial oxidation and reduction of Prussian Blue (PB), KFe[Fe(CN)6]‚nH2O (n ≈ 10), powder were probed in situ with Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR) spectroscopy. The combination of electrochemistry in the absence of liquid electrolyte with internal reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy was accomplished using a simple two-electrode sandwich-type cell in which a cry...

A new salicyl lactone was detected from the unidentified Oulenzia sp. and its chemical structure was elucidated as 7-hydroxyphthalide (7-hydroxy-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one), based on its GC/MS and GC/FT-IR data and SiO2 column behavior. The compound was synthesized by NaBH4 reduction of 3-hydroxyphthalic anhydride. The GC/MS and GC/FT-IR spectra of the natural compound were consistent with those of...

J. Inst. Brew. 112(4), 333–339, 2006 It is not known if peats derived from different areas of Scotland have distinctive chemical constituents that could impact on malt whisky in discernible organoleptic ways. Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used as a high throughput screening method to investigate discrimination of a large number of peat samples from six different geographica...
