Time-resolved Infrared Spectroscopy for Monitoring Fast Chemical Changes

This will be an overview of modern FT-IR spectrometry to demonstrate the collection of a complete spectrum within 10 ms in the rapid-scan mode. A few nanoseconds’ time resolution can be achieved for the repetitive reactions in the step-scan mode.

Event Overview:

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is highly specific for identifying chemical composition because each compound has a characteristic IR spectrum that serves as a “fingerprint” to uniquely identify the compound. This makes IR spectroscopy the widely used technique for monitoring changes in chemical composition during reactions. Modern FT-IR spectrometers collect a complete spectrum within 10 ms in the rapid-scan mode. A few nanoseconds time resolution can be achieved for repetitive reactions in the step-scan mode. An introduction to time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy and optimization of the experimental setup will be discussed in the first part of the webinar. Examples of applications will include photosensitive proteins studies, polymer curing, and a stop-flow.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn about time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy.
• Learn how to quickly and accurately monitor changes in chemical composition during reactions.
• Understand various chemical applications utilizing FT-IR Spectrometry
