Use of the Nicolet IR Spectrometers

This tutorial will help you with sample preparation, instrument setup and use of OMNIC software.  Please follow the menu below based on which experiment you are doing.   You should have read the background on instrument design and spectral interpretation before using this area.

Sample preparation: Thin film on salt plates (Viscous liquids, as in the Synthesis) Solution cell (Volatile liquids, as in the Hacac/Fe(acac)3 measurement) KBr pellet (solids, as in the Fe(acac)3 measurement)
