Vibrational Spectroscopy
Vibrational spectroscopy is a spectroscopic method of identifying and classifying compounds based on the vibrations of their bonds. Depending on the type, vibrational spectroscopy either measures which frequencies of radiation are absorbed vs. transmitted or which types of light scattering occur. The fingerprint region of a vibrational spectroscopy output refers to the set of vibrations produced by a molecule due to the vibrations of its bonds. Each chemical bond corresponds to a specific vibrational energy that can be considered as a distinctive fingerprint, useful to determine compound structures, by comparing it with the fingerprints of known compounds.
