Abstract
FOR some years infra-red spectroscopy has been a valuable research tool in pure chemistry, particularly in problems of molecular structure and the deduction of molecular data. Its value in industrial work, both for routine and research measurements, is now becoming fully appreciated, and its usefulness in general organic chemistry may soon at least equal that of ultra-violet spectroscopy. It is therefore opportune to consider its uses and limitations.
