FTIR vs. FT-IR vs. mid-IR
There is a tendency by many authors of manuscripts
submitted to this journal in which the measurement of midinfrared
spectra is reported to distinguish between midinfrared
and near-infrared spectra by calling mid-infrared
spectra FTIR or FT-IR spectra and calling near-infrared
spectra NIR spectra. I have no problem with the latter
designation: it has been used for decades and is not likely to
be confused with any other abbreviation. However, I have a
real problem with authors calling a mid-infrared spectrum an
FT-IR (or FTIR) spectrum. For the past twenty years at least,
it is very rare to come across a laboratory that does not use a
Fourier transform spectrometer for the measurement of midinfrared
spectra. Thus, once the instrument used for a
particular measurement is specified in the Experimental
section, there is no need to call a mid-infrared spectrum an
FT-IR (or FTIR) spectrum. It should either be called a mid-
IR spectrum if other spectral regions are also discussed in the
paper or simply a spectrum if no other types of spectroscopy
are described in the paper
