16. Quartz -jacketed tube
containing mercury
vapor.
Gives intense
radiation in the far IR
region.
17. Useful for near
IR region of 4000
to 12800 cm-1.
18. Monochromators are of two types,
Prism Monochromators
a. Single pass monochromator
b. Double pass monochromator
Grating Monochromators
19. Halogen salts are used in prism
monochromator, as they are transparent
to IR radiations.
Quartz prisms are used only in the near
IR region (0.8 to 3 µ).
Crystalline potassium bromide and
cesium bromide are used in far IR region
(15 to 40 µ).
20. Focusing of radiation is achieved by using
concave mirrors rather than prisms.
Prepared from various materials like
metals or glass coated aluminium.
21. There are 2 types of prism
monochromators,
1.SINGLE PASS MONOCHROMATOR.
23. Essentially a series of parallel straight
lines, cut into a plane surface.
Constructed from glass or plastic coated
with aluminium.
Gratings are blazed to concentrate the
radiation into single order.
24.
25. Constructed using rock salt (NaCl).
Sample cells are demountable and Teflon
spacers are used.
Sample cells must have windows that are
transparent.
Fixed path length cells are also available.
Often polished with buffing powder.
26.
27. There are two main types of detectors used in IR
spectrophotometry;
Thermal detectors
1. Thermocouple
2. Bolometers
3. Thermistors
4. Golay cell / Golay detectors
Photon detectors
28.
29. IR radiation falls on these detector,
cause heating which give rise to a
potential difference.
Most commonly used bcoz it give
responses for all frequencies.
30.
31. The end exposed to
IR radiation is hot
junction.
Cold junction is
kept at constant
temperature and is
not exposed to IR
radiation.
Response time 60
mili sec.
32.
33. When IR radiation
falls on metal
conductor, its
temperature changes
which cause change in
the resistance.
The degree of
change in resistance
is a measure of
amount of radiation
that fallen on the
detector.
Response time
4 milisec.
34. They are
resistors.
Made by fusing
several metallic
oxides.
Its response
time is slow.
35. It uses the
expansion of gas
as the measuring
device.
IR radiation falls
on blackened
metal plate, get
heated, which
causes expansion
of gas and deform
the flexible
diaphragm.
36. Most commonly used
pyroelectric material is tri
glycerine sulphate (TGS).
Made by sandwiching the
pyroelectric crystal
between two electrodes,
one of which is IR
transparent, changing its
temperature by irradiating
with IR radiation alters
the charge distribution
across the crystal.
37. Widely used in near IR region.
Use the quantum effects of IR radiation
to change the electric properties of a
semiconductor.
There is a drop of electrical resistance.
Small voltage is applied, large increase in
current.
41. Depends upon the state of the sample
whether it is a gas, liquid or solid.
Sample which is to be detected must be
pure and should be free from water.
41
42. Four techniques employed;
1.Solid dissolved in solvent :
Solid dissolved in non-aqueous solvent.
A drop of solution is placed on an alkali metal
disk and the solvent is evaporated.
This leaves a thin film of the solute.
Commonly used solvents carbon tetrachloride,
carbon disulphide.
For polar solutes;
Chloroform, methylene chloride, acetonitrile and
acetone.
42
43. 2. As solid film:
Used for amorphous solids, polymers and
resins.
Sample is dissolved in volatile solvent.
This solution is poured onto a rock-salt
plate.
Solvent is evaporated.
Thus the solid sample forms a thin film
on the surface of cell.
43
44. 3. Nujol mull technique:
Finely ground solid sample is mixed with
mineral oil NUJOL, to form a paste.
44
45. Nujol shows characteristic absorption of
C-C and C-H vibrations of hydrocarbons at
2915, 1462, 1376 and 719cm-1.
Nujol has to be used in combination with
fluorolube (a completely halogenated
polymer) or hexachlorobutadiene.
45
46. 4. Pressed pellet technique (disc method):
♣ A small amount of finely ground solid
sample is mixed with about 100 times its
weight of powdered pot. bromide.
♣ Then pressed under high pressure in a
IR tablet press to form a small pellet.
46
49. Advantages over nujol mull technique:
Resolution is superior.
Stored for long period of time.
Eliminates the problem of bands which appear in
the spectrum due to mulling agent.
Disadvantages:
Polymeric changes in crystallinity in the sample.
Not suitable for polymers.
Band at 3450 cm-1 from -OH group of moisture.
49
50. ♣ Samples that are liquids at room
temperature are usually handled in the pure
form.
♣ Various types of cells like sandwich cell,
demountable cell and cavity cells are used.
♣ These cells are made up of sodium bromide,
potassium bromide or thallium bromide.
♣ Sample layer thickness of 0.01 to 0.05 mm
such that transmittance lies between 15 to
70%.
50
52. Gas sample cell consists of metal bar glass
cylinder of 10 cm long, closed with an
appropriate window material.
Gas samples are examined in IR region
after removing the moisture or water
vapors.
Partial pressure of 5 to 50 mm of mercury
can be applied.
Sometimes the GLC is coupled with IR
spectrophotometers.
