Conformational isomerism and photodecomposition of carboxylic compounds studied by matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Low Temperature Molecular Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 483))

Abstract

Matrix isolation constitutes a very powerful sampling technique for spectroscopic studies. In particular this technique can be used successfully to study photochemical reactivity of isolated species submitted to irradiation by a suitable light source. Thus for example, conformational or tautomeric rearrangements and photodegradation reactions can be followed spectroscopically by conventional methods used in connection with it. In this article, the main advantages of using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy to study conformational equilibria are shortly discussed and examples of application are presented. These include recent studies of photodegradation reactions of matrix-isolated carboxylic compounds.
