Supersaturated aqueous solution of magnesium tetraborate (MgB4Ü7 -ЭНгО), its acidified solu­ tions with azeotropic hydrochloric acid, and its diluted solutions with water have been recorded by differential FTIR spectra. The differential FTIR spectra of borate in solutions axe obtained by sub­ tracting FTIR spectrum of water from that of the magnesium borate aqueous solutions. The results showed...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the variation in biochemical composition of 89 strains of Listeria monocytogenes with different susceptibilities towards sakacin P, using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The strains were also analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Based on their susceptibilities to sakacin P, the...

Direct detection of saponins in medicinal plants using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is reported in this paper. Crude dry plant powders were mixed with potassium bromide (KBr) powder and compressed to a thin pellet for infrared examination. FTIR spectra of the test samples showed -OH, -C=O, C-H, and C=C absorptions characteristic of oleanane triterpenoid saponins. The C-O-C abs...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful method to determine the doping induced structural changes and electronic band structure modifications of conjugated polymer films. Here, we report in situ attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR spectroelectrochemical results of reduction reactions (n-doping) of the conjugated ladder polymer polybenzimidazophenanthroline, BBL. The ATR-...

This rapid method for determining the degree of degradation of frying rapeseed oils uses Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with partial least-squares (PLS) regression. One hundred and fifty-six frying oil samples that degraded to different degrees by frying potatoes were scanned by an FTIR spectrometer using attenuated total reflectance (ATR). PLS regression with full cros...

This work investigates the C K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), valence-band photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of Si-doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon films. The C K-edge XANES and valence-band PES spectra indicate that the sp2 /sp3 population ratio decreases as the amount of tetramethylsilane vapor precursor increases during dep...

Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide doped with Fe2+ ions have been synthesized via sol-gel technique using Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and ferrous sulphate as a precursors. The synthesized nanopowders were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) and Photoluminescence (PL) Spectrosco...
