Time-resolved Infrared Spectroscopy for Monitoring Fast Chemical Changes

Author(s)Bruker Optics

Webinar Date/Time: Tue, Apr 11, 2023 1:00 PM EDT

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

Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
Spectral Frontiers: Seeing the Unseeable Microspectroscopy
Microspectroscopy, the marriage of spectroscopic chemical identification with microscopic spatial resolution, has advanced from Perkin-Elmer's first commercial infrared microspectrometer in 1953 to today's nanoscale AFM-IR probes, synchrotron-brightness infrared beamlines, and compact hyperspectral tissue imaging devices being developed for AI-assisted cancer detection.

Spectroscopy Top 10 DOI Articles of the Month (September 2026)
The following articles are the most accessed digital object identifier (DOI) manuscripts for Spectroscopy and LCGC International during the month of September 2026. Nine articles are individually ranked here by DOI page views; the third-highest entry (186 views) was recorded against the bare journal-level DOI rather than an individual article and is therefore not attributable to a single manuscript.
