Introduction to IR Spectroscopy: How to Read an Infrared Spectroscopy Graph

In this video I will give you an introduction to infrared spectroscopy and explain what the graphs mean and how to interpret a spectroscopy graph. This is pitched at the level of A level and AS chemistry but can be used beyond that. I will show you how to interpret the peaks on the graph to work out what functional groups are present in a substance and explain the significance of the fingerprint region of an IR spectrum.

I am taking this instrumental chemistry class and had to analyze some FTIR data. The professor does not know how to explain the information, but with the level of explanation in this video, I got the help I needed. Thank you!!

I was so stressed about my assignment but this explains it so clearly thank you so much !

You had my loyalty at "What the hell does this complete mess mean?"....and your British accent of course 😅😂

Currently watching this at 02:49 in the morning writing a lab report on the enantioselective reduction of a ketone to a chiral alcohol and im in the data and analysis section and i have absolutely no idea how tf to read these and i appreciate your existence <3This definetly did help! Organic chem people are built different

This is actually much of help than university lectures...

[svenkatvprasad]

Thank you so much sir, I wish if teacher like you there in my college no one is going to fail in subjects.🙏🙏

I watched few other videos, but found this explanation the best. Thank you.

Thank you so much, I have been trying to learn about this in lecture and through reading the lab manual, but I did not make any headway until watching this super helpful video.

[AndreeQP]

Thank you so much!!! Now I finally get it, but I was about to give up until I found your video

[mohankadagala]

Really now i realized that how basic peak identification can be carried out

[Canjeero]

Thank you so so so so so so much, this is the best explanation I've seen of an IR spec chart, thank you!!

[nusaibahsallehuddin]

Thank you so much for this explanation. Simple and easy to understand.

[mahtabheyrani]

That was extremely useful! Thanks a lot for your clear explanation😌

[bhuwaldeshmukh]

This video really helps me for analysis my FT-IR data, thanks

[natasha]

I was looking at how to read the FTIR spectrum and saw this video, click with no expectation BUT I love how it goes so far. The start was a good tell: What the hell does this complete mess mean? HAHA Thanks, uploader!

[viiperbiite]

Why was this recommended to me AFTER my exam? :c
I only JUST passed.

[hvhbuui]

Thank you so much, this helped me prepare my presentation

[simrannahar]

very informative and light video to watch, thank you very much for that
