RT journal article T1 Interpreting the near infrared region of explosives A1 Zapata, Félix A1 Ferreiro González, Marta A1 García-Ruiz, Carmen A2 Química Analítica K1 Explosives K1 Energetic powders K1 Near infrared spectroscopy K1 Combination region K1 Overtone AB The NIR spectra from 1000 to 2500 nm of 18 different explosives, propellant powders and energetic salts were collected and interpreted. NIR spectroscopy is known to provide information about the combination bands and overtones of highly anharmonic vibrations as those occurring in X\\H bonds (C\\H, N\\H and O\\H). Particularly intense and complex were the bands corresponding to the first combination region (2500–1900 nm) and first overtone stretching mode (2ν) of C\\H and N\\H bonds (1750–1450 nm). Inorganic oxidizing salts including so dium/potassium nitrate, sodium/potassium chlorate, and sodium/potassium perchlorate displayed low intense or no NIR bands.
