Abstract

Traditionally, the application of IR spectroscopy in mineralogy is reduced to the determination of wavelengths or frequencies of discrete absorption maxima. These values are brought in correspondence with normal vibrations of different chemical bonds or groups of atoms forming covalent bonds – complex anions (e.g. CO3 2−, C2O4 2−, SO4 2− , PO4 3−, SiO4 4−, and Si2O7 6−), polyatomic cations (H3O+, NH4 +, UO2 2+, etc.), neutral molecules (H2O, NH3), as well as lattice vibrations of infinite chains, layers or frameworks as parts of crystal structures of minerals. Another approach, also based on the use of discrete band maxima, is based on correlations between vibration frequencies and different characteristics of minerals (hydrogen bond strengths, degree of isomorphous substitutions, etc.). In this section, we consider several examples of the application of this approach to the investigation of structural features of minerals.
