Incoming relations (arrows to this concept)

Each relation below ends at this concept.

Functional groupInfrared spectroscopy

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Infrared bands can support a functional-group assignment when mode coupling, hydrogen bonding, phase, concentration, symmetry, overlap, and reference spectra are considered.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

Relation sources

Molecular dipole momentInfrared spectroscopy

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

An infrared-active normal mode changes the molecular dipole moment; a permanent dipole is not required for every vibrational transition.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

Relation sources

Vibrational spectroscopyInfrared spectroscopy

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Infrared vibrational spectra depend on changes in dipole moment along molecular normal coordinates.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
