摘要： Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a valuable instrumental tool to supplement spectroscopic approaches, such as infrared spectroscopy for analyzing forensic samples including drugs, fibers, textiles, soil components, inks, pigments, paints, and body fluids, both in the field and at crime laboratories. As a result, Raman spectroscopy has been incorporated into undergraduate forensic chemistry courses. Using a Rigaku Progeny X2 Raman spectrometer, students recorded Raman spectra of organic and inorganic materials including drugs, adulterants, and coordination complexes. Students searched for matches using a chemical library and assigned peaks attributable to the chemical structures using a correlation table. They observed conditions in which Raman spectroscopy recorded bands not observed with the infrared spectrometer, reflecting the complementarity of the two techniques. An advantage of Raman spectroscopy for forensic analysis compared to infrared spectroscopy is that dangerous samples can be analyzed through containers and aqueous solutions can be analyzed without interference from water.
