Summary
Chapter 12 is devoted to an examination of the infrared spectra of a large number of inorganic materials. Raman data are valuable but will not be considered in this treatment. To possess internal vibrations a system must be covalently bound. Many inorganic substances do exhibit covalent bonding. Thus, inorganic molecules and polyatomic ions can have normal vibrational spectra.
A chart of characteristic infrared frequencies covering most common inorganic ions is given. Polymorphism is shown to be present in calcium carbonate which can give rise to two crystalline forms known as calcite and aragonite. Sampling techniques for inorganic materials are also considered. There is a section containing a brief survey of the infrared spectra of minerals. The chapter ends with a brief introduction to external or lattice vibrations (phonons).
