FT-Guys

                 FT-Guys is the nickname of the analytical chemistry research group headed by Dr. Peter Griffiths. "FT" stands for Fourier Transform: a mathematical operation invented by Frenchman Jean Fourier (1768-1830) which converts any periodic function, regardless of its complexity, into a sum of basic sine and cosine waves. "Guys" stands for…well, we’re a bunch of guys (this includes both men and women).

                The FT, with the use of modern computers, has become a mainstay in analytical chemistry for interpretation of chemical spectra. The FT-Guys research laboratory concentrates on the invention, improvement, and expanded utilization of the FT operation for vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). This includes, but is not limited to, such applications as infrared spectroelectrochemistry, open path FT-IR, ultra-rapid scanning FT-IR, step scan FT-IR, FT-Raman spectroscopy, GC/FT-IR, HPLC/FT-IR, SEIRA, and SERS.

                For full definitions and information on these techniques see our spectroscopy links.

                Our logo is based on our location at the University of Idaho in Moscow (pronounced "moss-co"), Idaho. No, we do not grow potatoes, but we have probably looked at them in the IR at some point in time. The red squiggly line in our logo is an interferogram: the generic resulting signal from a Michelson interferometer prior to conversion by FT.

Lacey Averett wins!!! (July 2005)

                Lacey Averett won the election for the student representative position of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy.

                Lacey will take the position from Debbie Serna (New Mexico State University) who served as a wonderful representative. People close to the Lacey Averett campaign say that Lacey hopes to be able to serve in the capacity of student representative as honorably as Debbie.

Congratulations from the FT-Guys to Lacey and to the SAS!

 

PETER GRIFFITHS IS RECIPIENT OF THE BOMEM-MICHELSON AWARD

                Peter Griffiths, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Idaho, will receive the 2003 Bomem-Michelson Award by the Coblentz Society. The Award, dedicated to the memory of Professor A.E.Michelson, and sponsored by Bomem,Hartmann &Braun, is presented annually to honor scientists who have advanced the techniques of vibrational, molecular, Raman, or electronic spectroscopy. Griffiths’ research interests have been in the development of better ways of measuring infrared spectra, including the optics for diffuse reflection spectroscopy and the chromatography/FTIR interface. Much of the effort in his lab over the past four or five years has involved development of the hardware and software for open-path FTIR spectrometry and investigations into surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectrometry for reducing the detection limits of direct-deposition interfaces between gas and liquid chromatographs and the identification of intermediates in electrochemical reactions. More recently, Griffiths’ students have been working with a small business in Moscow, Idaho, Manning Applied Technology, to construct an ultra-rapid-scanning interferometer that allows full infrared spectra to be measured in as short a time as one millisecond. This instrument has been used to monitor time-resolved adsorption, very fast combustion and photochemical reactions, and polymer dynamics on the millisecond timescale. Griffiths’ group maintains a strong interest in various types of reflection spectroscopy.

                Professor Griffiths obtained his B.A. and D.Phil. in Chemistry from Oxford University in England. After a two-year post-doctoral stint at the University of Maryland, he worked with Digilab,Inc. (which became the Spectroscopy Division of Bio-Rad and is now Digilab LLC) on the development of the first FTIR spectrometer of the modern era. Subsequently he held positions with Sadtler Research Labs, Ohio University, and the University of California, Riverside, before being appointed as Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Idaho, a position he has held for eight years. Griffiths has received several honors and awards including the Coblentz Award in 1975, the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh Award, the Prëgl medal of the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry, the Gold Medal Award of the New York SAS and the University of Idaho Award for Research and Creative Activity, all in 1995. He is also on the editorial advisory boards of the following journals: Spectroscopy Letters, Spectrochimica Acta, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (Germany), Analytical Sciences (Japan) and Spectroscopy and Spectrochemical Analysis (China). Griffiths has co-authored over 240 papers, 25 book chapters and two books. The second edition of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, which he wrote with James de Haseth, will appear next Spring. He is a co-editor, with John Chalmers, of the Handbook of Vibrational Spectroscopy, a major five-volume text covering all aspects of mid-infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy which was introduced December,2001.

 

FT-GUY PRESENTATIONS AT PITTCON 2003

APPLICATIONS OF ULTRA-RAPID-SCANNING FTIR SPECTROMETRY TO TIME-RESOLVED ADSORPTION AND POLYMER DYNAMICS

Peter R. Griffiths, Benjamin Weinstock, Husheng Yang

                Interferometers in which one or more mirrors move in a reciprocating manner often have a very low duty cycle efficiency. For example with one commercial interferometer, it has been reported that the measurement time for an interferogram corresponding to a 16-cm -1 resolution spectrum is 4 ms yet it takes 40 ms to decelerate the moving mirror, turn it around and accelerate it back up to the desired velocity. In this case, the duty cycle efficiency (i.e., the time required to acquire the interferogram divided by the time between scans) is less than 10%. By designing an interferometer with a rotating, rather than reciprocating, optical element, instruments with a much higher duty cycle efficiency can be designed. In this talk, an instrument that allows 6-cm -1 resolution spectra to be measured every 5 ms will be described. Even when the beam passes through a 20-pass gas cell, the rms noise level is about 1000 (<1 mAU root mean square baseline noise when the ratio of two successive scans is calculated). Prognostications of how the scan speed and/or resolution can be further improved will be given. The application of this instrument to two applications will be given. In the first of these, an approach for measuring the kinetics of the adsorption of small aldehydes onto bare and modified silica will be described. In the second, the change in molecular conformation as polymer films are stretched to the point at which they fracture will be shown. Below is shown the variation of the absorbance of acetaldehyde as a mixture of acetaldehyde and nitrogen is admitted to a multi-pass gas cell through either unmodified silica or the same silica after treating the surface with aminopropylsilyl (APS) groups. Also shown (filled circles) is the variation of pressure in the cell during the same period.

 

SURFACE-ENHANCED INFRARED ABSORPTION: HOW LARGE AND HOW USEFUL?

Peter R. Griffiths, Amy E. Bjerke, David A. Heaps

                Enhancement in the intensity of bands in the infrared spectrum of materials within about 5 nm of the surface of small islands of silver and gold has been reported to be anywhere between one and three orders of magnitude, with enhancement factors of 100 to 200 being most common. The biggest problem in the application of surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) that we have found is the asymmetry of the bands. In the first part of this talk, the factors affecting band asymmetry will be discussed. In the second part, the application of SEIRA to the direct deposition interface of gas and liquid chromatographs with FT-IR spectrometers will be discussed. By coating the substrate on which the analytes are deposited with a thin layer of silver, detection limits can be reduced by about a factor of ten. GC/FT-IR spectra of 8.6 ppm of t-butyl benzene deposited on a ZnSe slide held at liquid nitrogen temperature are shown. The lower spectrum was measured on the bare ZnSe slide while the upper spectrum was measured after depositing 5 nm of silver on the surface on the slide. In the third part of this talk, the feasibility of obtaining significant surface enhancements with metals other than the coinage metals will be discussed. Our group has observed significant enhancements using platinum and palladium, while other groups have seen similar results with iron, tin and rhodium. In most spectra measured on these substrates, however, the bands are very asymmetrical. In the final part of this talk, the feasibility of SEIRA being the basis of a generally applicable technique for surface analysis will be discussed.

 

AUTOMATED COMPOUND IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION IN OPEN-PATH FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROMETRY

Husheng Yang,  Peter R. Griffiths, B. Christine Morris

                In recent years more attention has been turned to open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP/FT-IR) spectrometry for monitoring hazardous gas-phase compounds in the work-place, chemical weapons storage facilities, and other similar sites. The increased number of applications demand faster and more reliable data analysis systems. However, the currently accepted data processing method in OP/FT-IR, classical least squares (CLS) regression, is far from being automatic and robust. In this work we describe a systematic approach for building a fully automated system by utilizing modern computer programming techniques and advanced chemometric algorithms, and demonstrate that such a system can automatically identify and quantify 19 target compounds. In the first step of building the automated data analysis system reference spectra of 114 target and interferent compounds and 843 open-path background spectra were collected. In the second step, Kohonen neural network and chemometrics tools were used to analyze the reference spectra library so that efficient training and testing sets can be constructed. In the third step, a neural net-work library that contains several feed-forward neural networks, each of which can recognize one of the target compounds or representative interferents, is constructed. Each training spectrum was synthesized by the digital addition of several reference spectra and an open-path background spectrum. Figure 1 shows a synthetic methyl amyl acetate OP/FT-IR spectrum in the presence of two interferents. Identifying this compound presents a challenge even to an expert spectroscopist. The data analysis system is fully automated. When the instrument set-up is changed, a new model can be rebuilt by issuing a single computer command. The final system is a software package that is installed in a personal computer and fully integrated with the data acquisition soft-ware that controls the OP/FT-IR spectrometer. This system contains the neural network library, an automated partial least squares (PLS) calibration model generator, and auxiliary computer programs. This system gave near real-time prediction of the identity and concentration of target compounds once an OP/FT-IR spectrum is collected and fed to the system instantly.

 

Applied Spectroscopy Cover Feature

            June, 2000 (54/6)

            Fifteen years ago, most Raman spectrometers were large and expensive, and required significant effort to operate reproducibly. In general they were limited to academic research laboratories. In the late 1980s Raman spectroscopy was revolutionized, first by the development of Fourier Transform Raman spectrometers and two years later by polychromators with charge-coupled device (CCD) array detectors. Now bench-top Raman spectrometers are available from a number of manufacturers. Several of these instruments are shown on the cover of this month's issue. These include the FT-Raman spectrometers of Bruker (D) and Nicolet (G); analogous instruments are also made by Bio-Rad, Bomem, and Perkin Elmer. CCD-Raman spectrometers can be made even smaller than FT-Raman spectrometers. The instruments made by Chromex (C) and Kaiser (B, middle ground) are examples of small bench-top CCD Raman spectrometers. The diffraction limit for Raman spectrometry is up to an order of magnitude smaller than that for FT-IR spectrometers. CCD-Raman spectrometers are, therefore, often equipped with microscopes. The spectrometers made by Nicolet (A), J-Y (E), and Renishaw (F) are typical examples of these instruments. With the speed and high performance of contemporary Raman spectrometers, it is not surprising that they are being used for process monitoring. At the back of photograph of the Kaiser spectrometer (B) is the instrument they have developed for process monitoring. Sampling for Raman spectrometry is far simpler than for infrared spectrometry, and fiber-optic probes are becoming commonplace. Shown in the foreground of the Kaiser instruments is the probe made by this company. Many of these spectrometers now incorporate near-infrared lasers to minimise the deleterious effects of fluorescence. These instruments are now so inexpensive and simple to operate that they are being adopted for use in college teaching labs. In spite of the tremendous success of this new generation of Raman instrumentation, some samples still give rise to problems. In this month's Focal Point article, entitle "Factors Affecting the Performance of Bench-Top Raman Spectrometers. Part II: Effect of Sample, Bryan Bowie, Peter Griffiths, and Bruce Chase describe some of the problems that may be encounter when using these instruments on a variety of samples.

            May, 2000 (54/5)

            In the mid 1980s, Bruce Chase and Tomas Hirschfeld reported the feasibility of minimizing the effect of fluorescence in Raman spectra by exciting the sample with 1064 Dm (near-infrared) radiation emitted from a Nd:YAG laser and measuring the spectrum with a Fourier transform (FT) spectrometer. commercial FT-Raman spectrometers soon became available commercially from a number of manufacturers. A couple of years later, the feasibility of measuring Raman spectra with a single monochromator coupled to a charge-coupled device (CCD) array detector was demonstrated. With a suitable laser, the time required to measure a high-quality CCD Raman spectrum was reduced to a few seconds, and sometimes even less. The result of these developments was nothing less than the rebirth of Raman spectrometry. Spectra measured on commercial FT-Raman and CCD-Raman spectrometers are not free of artifacts, however. The cover illustrations show some of the types of artifacts that may be encountered in Raman spectrometry. They are all taken from this month's Focal Point article, which is the first of two articles by Bryan Bowie and Peter Griffiths of the University of Idaho and Bruce Chase of the du Pont Experimental Station, entitled "Factors Affecting the Performance of Bench- Top Raman Spectrometers " .This month 's article is on instrumental effects and next month 's discusses effects that are introduced by the sample.

                Professor Griffiths' research is centered on the application of vibrational spectrometry to the solution of problems of analytical, environmental and structural chemistry. One topic that has been intensely studied over a period of more than ten years is the development of interfaces between a Fourier transform infrared (FT) spectrometer and various types of chromatographs. In the late 1980's his group developed a unique instrument that allows computer-searchable infrared spectra to be obtained from subnanogram quantities of analytes eluting from a gas chromatograph (GC) in real time. This device now forms the basis of a commercial GC/FT system. Griffiths' students have developed an analogous interface for supercritical fluid chromatography and are currently designing similar systems for liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. These instruments will be used for the study of humic acids and how they transport heavy metals into the aquifer.

                In another environmentally related project, Griffiths' students are developing an inexpensive low FT spectrometer for measuring the concentration of trace levels of atmospheric pollutants in the field. Multivariate statistical techniques are being used for multicomponent quantitative analysis from the infrared spectra of atmospheric species. Other novel algorithms are being applied to reduce the width of lines in the vibration spectra of atmospheric species that have been measured at very low resolution.

                Griffiths' group is also developing techniques that allow materials in hazardous or toxic waste sites to be identified remotely using optical fibers mounted on a robotically transport. Currently, the relative strengths and weaknesses of infrared reflection spectrometry and remote Raman spectrometry are being compared prior to fabricating an instrument that can be used in the field. Neural networks are being used to discriminate between spectra of compounds of interest and other analytes.

                Another project being studied in Griffiths' lab is the development of a step-scanning interferometer that will permit phase-resolved and time-resolved infrared spectra of dynamic systems to be measured. For example, the rate at which different parts of a polymer react to an applied strain can be measured. Infrared spectroelectrochemical measurements are also being made. By modulating the potential of a metal electrode in a sinusoidal manner and measuring the in-phase and quadrature components of the resulting response of an infrared detector, only the spectra of those species at the electrode surface are observed, allowing both intermediates in electrochemical reactions to be identified and the rate of their formation or disappearance to be monitored. This system will be applied to the problem of identifying the events that occur during microbially-induced corrosion. Finally, techniques for spectroelectrochemical measurements taking place immediately after a potential step are being developed. The feasibility of applying surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy to increase the very weak signals from thin metallic films on the surface of germanium internal reflection elements is also being studied in this experiment.

 

                Professor Griffiths' group works on a number of different analytical applications of vibrational spectrometry. His students are developing a novel open-path (OP) Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer for continuous atmospheric monitoring near hazardous waste and Superfund sites. Unlike the contemporary technology for OP/FT-IR, the instrument under development in his lab requires spectra to be measured only at low resolution and obviates the need for liquid nitrogen cooled detectors. Even the telescope mirrors in this instrument are unique, having been made by spin-casting a carbonfiber-filled epoxy resin. Analytes are identified by computational neural networks and quantified by a number of chemometric techniques, including partial least squares regression and genetic algorithms.

                In another project involving the development of a new type of spectrometer, Griffiths' students are working with a small business in Troy, ID, Manning Applied Technology, to construct an ultra-rapid- scanning interferometer that allows full infrared spectra to be measured in as little as one millisecond. This instrument has been used to monitor very fast combustion reactions, and is planned for use in investigating polymer dynamics and electrochemical reactions.

                Not all the work in this lab is based around instrument development. Some of Griffiths' students are working on applications of surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectrometry. Two applications are being studied. In the first, the detection limits of direct-deposition interfaces between gas and liquid chromatographs and FT-IR spectrometers are being reduced by vapor-depositing a thin (~5nm) layer of gold or silver on the substrate on which the elutes from the chromatograph are being condensed. In another application of SEIRA, intermediates in electrochemical reactions are identified by infrared spectroelectrochemistry. During this project, Griffiths' students have expanded the number of metals that can be used for SEIRA to include platinum.

                Finally, the distribution of functional groups on polymers, including reverse-osmosis membranes, is being studied by Raman mapping and imaging.
