Infrared Spectroscopy Identification
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the absorption of infrared radiation by chemical bonds, creating a spectrum unique to each compound. Discovered by William Herschel in 1800 and developed into a practical analytical tool in the mid-20th century, IR spectroscopy is indispensable for rapidly identifying functional groups and confirming compound structure in organic and inorganic chemistry.
