Trends and Perspectives
These interviews with spectroscopy experts in specific application areas, such as biomedical research, nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, environmental samples, and proteins, provide insights into the latest trends and developments in those fields. We also asked experts at supplier companies about which industries or application areas their atomic and molecular products will have the biggest impact in the coming years. Here is what they had to say.
The Big Review V: The C-O Bond
March 20th 2025In the fifth installment of “The Big Review” of infrared (IR) spectral interpretation, we review the spectroscopy of functional groups containing C-O bonds, discuss alcohols and phenols, and see how to use IR spectroscopy to distinguish these alcohols from each other. We then discuss ethers and see how to use IR spectroscopy to distinguish the three different types from each other.
