Abstract

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy provides rapid, reliable, quantitative, and qualitative analysis of samples in different aggregation states, i.e., gases, thin films, solids, liquids, etc. However, when analyzing aqueous solutions, particular issues associated with the rather pronounced IR absorption characteristics of water appear to interfere with the solute determination. In this review, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic techniques and their analytical capabilities for analyzing aqueous solutions are reviewed, and highlight examples are discussed.
