Infrared spectroscopy can be used to identify organic compounds and substances such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and nitro compounds. It can also study the progress of chemical reactions by examining spectra over time and detect impurities in samples if the pure reference spectrum is available. Infrared spectroscopy has applications in industry to determine impurities in raw materials and has been adopted as a forensic analysis tool for samples like paint, fibers, tapes, documents, explosives, and drugs.

• Identification of Organic Compounds: The infrared
spectrum is a highly characteristic property of a substance and the examination of the infrared spectrum can aid chemical investigation in many ways. • Identification of Substances such as Hydrocarbons like Alkenes, Cycloalkanes, Aromatic Hydrocarbons. • Identification of Substances such as Hydroxy Compounds like Alcohols and phenols. • Identification of Substances such as Aldehydes and Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Carboxylic Acid Derivatives, Amines and Nitro Compounds. • Studying the Progress of Reactions. Progress of a chemical reaction can be readily followed by examining spectra of small portions of reaction mixture withdrawn from time to time. • Detection of Impurities: It is likely to determine whether a given sample of a compound is pure or not provided the reference spectrum of the pure compound is available. • Measurement of Paints and Varnishes. Frequently, paints and varnishes are measured by reflectance analysis, a process where in the sample is irradiated with IR light and the reflected light is introduced into an IR instrument. • In Industry. In industry, IR spectroscopy has three important uses. First, it can be used to determine impurities in raw material. This is necessary to ensure good products. • IR spectroscopy has been adopted as a tool for the forensic analysis of a range of evidence types. Protocols for the sampling and spectral analysis have been developed for the various categories. • The technique lends itself to the examination of paint, fibers, tapes, questioned documents, explosives, and drugs.
