Techniques are being developed which have as their objective improvement in the accuracy of infrared absorbance measurements and more exact recording of the true band shapes. From these improved spectra, accurate quantitative parameters are being obtained which can supplement or even supplant the present chart recordings as the fundamental spectral representations. These techniques include methods for processing spectra to eliminate most of the instrumentally introduced artifacts and to resolve the corrected spectra into algebraic representations in the form of sums of distribution functions. The consequences of the increasing use of these techniques will be to improve significantly our ability to do both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
