Abstract

Attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectra, which are often used in IR analysis, can be transformed into extinction and refraction spectra by Kramers–Kronig transformation (KKT) with Fresnel equations. However, it is often difficult to obtain correct optical indices due to the inherent instrumental functions. This paper proposes a simple practical method for correction of KKT with two parameters, which include all the effects of the instrumental function. In order to obtain the parameters of the instrumental function, absorption ratios of charge transfer to solvent (CTTS) transitions of aqueous iodide ions observed at 195 nm and 230 nm were used as a standard. The absorption indices calculated from the ATR spectra with the parameters correspond reasonably well to those given by the transmittance spectra not only in the UV region but also in the far-ultraviolet (FUV, 120–200 nm) region. By applying the corrected KKT to the ATR-FUV spectra of aqueous potassium halide solutions in the range of 0–2 M, correct features of the absorption spectra of KCl and KBr, whose CTTS bands are thought to be observed in FUV region, were confirmed. It is possible to use the parameters representing the instrument function as long as the instrument is not changed.
