 Infrared spectroscopy correlation table

An infrared spectroscopy correlation table is a reference tool that correlates specific functional groups and molecular structures to their characteristic absorption wavelengths (or frequencies) in the infrared (IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. These correlations are particularly useful in identifying various chemical compounds through their IR spectra. ### Key Components of an Infrared Spectroscopy Correlation Table: 1. **Wavenumber (cm⁻¹)**: The main output of an IR spectroscopy analysis, indicating the frequency of vibrations of bonds in a molecule.
