Abstract:
The FTIR spectra of Tripterygium hypoglaucum Hutch (THH) and Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb were studied. The result shows that the two herbs have different ratio of main substance calcium oxalate and dulcitol, so their absorption frequency and form are different as well. In addition, there is an obvious difference between Celastrus orbiculatus stem and root, and both the peak forms of calcium oxalate and dulcitol in the FTIR spectra of roots are sharper and stronger than those of stems. Therefore FTIR can be a fast and reliable method to identify THH and Celastrus orbiculatus.

IR Spectrum
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0% (complete...
IR and UV–Vis Spectroscopy of Carboxylic Acids
However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
