Durig J.R. (Ed.) Analytical Applications of FT-IR to Molecular and Biological Systems

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held at Florence, Italy, August 31 to September 12, 1979. — Dordrecht, Holland: D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1980. — x, 607 p.In the past years it has become apparent that Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy is developing into an excellent technique for solving some of the very difficult problems encountered in analytical chemistry. The applications of FT-IR include the detec­ tion and identification of chemical components separated by gas chromatography techniques, determination of low concentration components in a mixture, and problems which have energy limitations such as water samples, opaque samples and biological systems. The lectures presented in this volume will be utilized at the NATO Advanced Study Institute in Florence, Italy from August 31 to September 12, 1980. These lectures are divided into three main sections: Instrumentation and Theory, Techniques, and Applications.
In gеneral the lectures are of a pedagogical nature and are not to be considered as review articles.One View of the Advantages of Infrared Interferometry
