Identification of infrared spectral features related to solution structure for utilization in solubility and supersaturation measurements

Infrared spectra are abundant with information about the chemical nature and the molecular structure of chemical systems, Any perturbation to a chemical system is reflected in the infrared spectrum by subtle variations in band positions and shapes. The current contribution demonstrates that such features can be used for the measurement of system variables of crystallization processes such as solubility and supersaturation, In addition, the study demonstrates the consistency of the measurements made using a multitude of IR spectral features.
