Abstract
Infrared and visible spectroscopy are among the most fundamental and most easily understood spectroscopic techniques for the introductory chemistry course. Both involve experimentation that is relatively inexpensive, and the techniques are complimentary in their applications. Both can be used quantitatively, but only infrared can be easily applied to the determination of structure. This article describes a project designed to introduce infrared spectroscopy as a structure-determination technique.
