POTASSIUM BROMIDE FOR IR SPECTROSCOPY
POTASSIUM BROMIDE FOR IR SPECTROSCOPY
General description. Potassium bromide is transparent from the near UV to long wave IR wavelengths. In IR-spectroscopy, solid samples which are difficult to melt or dissolve in any suitable IR-transmitting solvent, are analyzed by grinding with Potassium bromide powder, and pressing into a disc.

Atmospheric water vapour at ambient temperature and pressure gives rise to absorption in the far-infrared region of the spectrum, from about 200 cm−1 (50 μm) to longer wavelengths towards the microwave region. Vibrational transitions in which a molecule gains a quantum of vibrational energy.
