Mj. Shaw et We. Geiger, A NEW APPROACH TO INFRARED SPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY USING A FIBEROPTICPROBE - APPLICATION TO ORGANOMETALLIC REDOX CHEMISTRY, Organometallics, 15(1), 1996, pp. 13-15
A mid-IR fiber-optic cable operating as a ''dip'' probe has been used
to obtain IR spectra of electrolysis solutions. The probe is employed
in conventional electrochemical cells to sample the bulk of solution b
efore, during, and after electrolysis. Unlike other spectroelectrochem
ical methods, this technique requires no cell design compromises which
diminish the accuracy of the electrochemical data.
