Chemical Sciences: A Manual for CSIR-UGC National Eligibility Test for Lectureship and JRF/Infrared spectroscopy correlation table

In physical chemistry|physical and analytical chemistry, infrared spectroscopy ("IR spectroscopy") is a technique used to identify chemical compounds based on how infrared|infrared radiation is absorbed by the compounds' chemical bonds. This article is an IR spectroscopy correlation table that lists some general absorption peaks for common types of atomic bonds and functional groups. Note that this information is unreferenced, and may not be accurate.

The absorptions in this range do not apply only to bonds in organic molecules. IR spectroscopy is useful when it comes to analysis of inorganic compounds (such as metal complexes or fluoromanganates) as well.
