What Is Nujol in Ir

Nujol is a brand of mineral oil by Plough Inc., cas number 8012-95-1, and density 0.838 g/mL at 25 °C, used in infrared spectroscopy. It is a heavy paraffin oil so it is chemically inert and has a relatively uncomplicated IR spectrum, with major peaks between 2950-2800, 1465-1450, and 1380–1300 cm−1.

What is Nujol where what Wavenumbers does it absorb IR radiation?

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) It identifies unsaturation, functional groups present in the compound. It absorbs at wavelength ranging from 3800 cm−1 c m − 1 to 400 cm−1 c m − 1 . It consists of two region i.e. functional group region and fingerprint region.
