Abstract
The infrared region (arbitrarily taken as 100 - 10,000 cm-1) provides a unique window through which to view molecules (Bernath, 1990, 1995 and 1996). Molecules have their vibrational spectra in the infrared region, although some light species such as H2O and HF have infrared pure rotational transitions and many free radicals (e.g., C2) have infrared electronic transitions. Vibrational transitions have characteristic frequencies and carry chemical group information in a way that rotational and electronic transitions do not.
