A review of analytical applications of matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is presented. The characteristics of matrix isolation spectroscopy are discussed along with practical techniques for obtaining analytically useful results. A few studies relating to matrix isolation used in conjunction with Raman and conventional IR spectroscopy are reviewed. The majority of analytical applications of matrix isolation vibrational spectroscopy has entailed the use of FT-IR techniques. Qualitative and quantitative results from a number of sample types are presented. The coupling of matrix isolation vibrational spectroscopy with chromatographic separations is reviewed.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been used to investigate the behaviour of HCN and alkali metal and tetraethylammonium cyanides in DMF and aqueous DMF. The cyanide ion exists as free ions and ion pairs in pure DMF but as water-solvated and DMF-solvated ions in aqueous DMF. The aqueous DMF solutions can be treated as a pseudo two-phase system with a distribution coefficient of 0.018 between the aqueous and DMF-rich pseudo phases. A kinetic analysis of the cyanide ion – benzyl chloride reaction in DMF and aqueous DMF has shown that the rate constant for the SN2 reaction is markedly decreased with the addition of as little as 2.5% water. This decrease is primarily due to changes in transition state solvation. The SN2 reactions between cyanide ion and benzylmethyl-4-substituted phenylsulphonium perchlorates in 20% aqueous DMF have also been investigated.
