IR Spectral Interpretation Workshop
Organic Nitrogen Compounds, Part I: Introduction
Brian C. Smith
So far, we have restricted our discussion to organic functional groups that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with past columns addressing the theory of infrared spectral interpretation of C-H bonds, C-O bonds, and the C=O functional group. We now turn our attention to interpretation involving organic nitrogen compounds.

Lasers and Optics Interface
Broadband High-Brightness Sources for Spectroscopy
Steve Buckley
In the near past, discharge lamps, dye lasers, and optical parametric oscillators were the only useful sources for spectroscopy. New broadband sources, such as supercontinuum lasers, laser-driven plasma sources, and high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs), are now available. We look at what these options offer for spectroscopy.

SPECTROSCOPY SPOTLIGHT
Advancing Laser-Ablation ICP-MS
Laura Bush
Jorge Pisonero of the University of Oviedo studies the performance of the laser ablation
process in laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma—mass spectrometry, examining aspects such as the morphology of the craters created during sampling and the role of laser fluence. He also studies the effect of these factors in specific applications of LA-ICP-MS. He recently spoke to us about this work.

SEC–ICP-OES Hyphenation: Speciation and Quantification of Polydimethylsiloxanes at Trace Levels
Kerstin Vogel, Antje Wegener, Matthias Pursch, Peter Luschas, and Marc Wiesmann
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) compounds are ubiquitous; thus it is challenging to develop analytical methods that ensure their absence. A newly developed method combining size-exclusion chromatography with inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy makes it possible to quantify ultratrace levels of PDMS in volatile and nonvolatile organic solvents. A complete range of molecular weights can also be distinguished with this approach.
