Pa. Tanner et Km. Leung, SPECTRAL INTERPRETATION AND QUALITATIVE-ANALYSIS OF ORGANOPHOSPHORUS PESTICIDES USING FT-RAMAN AND PT-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY, Applied spectroscopy, 50(5), 1996, pp. 565-571
FT-Raman spectroscopy is a selective and safe technique for the qualit
ative identification of organophosphorus pesticides and is not accompa
nied by sample photodecomposition. Spectra of 14 target pesticides wer
e recorded, and the phosphorus characteristic group frequencies are di
scussed. Preliminary investigations of solvent and temperature effects
upon the infrared spectra were also carried out.
