ABSTRACT

The following solvents are commonly used to record IR spectra. They cannot be used in the regions shown (cm-1).

• Carbon disulœde 1 mm cell: 2340-2100, 1640-1385, 875-845 0.1 mm cell: 2200-2140, 1595-1460

• Carbon tetrachloride 1 mm cell: 1610-1500, 1270-1200, 1020-960, <860 0.1 mm cell: 820-720

• Chloroform 1 mm cell: 3090-2980, 2440-2380, 1555-1410, 1290-1155, 940-910, <860 0.1 mm cell: 3020-3000, 1240-1200, <805

The characteristic IR absorption bands of various types of compounds are listed in Table 12.3, in two complementary formats.
