Abstract
The frequency scale of commercial FT-IR instruments is precise to within ≤ 0.005 cm-1, regardless of the resolution employed in the measurement. Consequently, given adequate S/N ratios, frequencies and bandwidths of spectral lines can be determined down to this limit, provided the data are treated correctly. Although appropriate techniques are routinely utilized in high resolution gas phase studies they are not generally employed in studies of relatively low resolution (0.5-8 cm-1) condensed phase spectra. A comparison will be made of several different methods of data reduction, and it will be demonstrated that frequencies and bandwidths can be routinely determined with uncertainties of less than 0.1 cm-1, even with low instrumental resolutions. This permits the monitoring of extremely small changes in condensed phase spectra.
