Why water cannot be used as a solvent for infrared spectroscopy?

I am not an expert on IR, but there will definitely be a water peak in the spectrum if you are in aqueous solution. From what I have seen, with good background subtraction of that peak, most folks don't have a big issue unless the water peak is directly in a stretching region of something else you were hoping to see.....

Hello dear,
● IR spectroscopy -
- IR spectroscopy involves interaction between matter and infrared radiation.
● Water can't be used as solvent in IR spectroscopy because -
- If water is used as solvent in infrared spectroscopy, it shows two absorption peaks which misinterprets the results.
- Also, being a strong polar solvent, water disintegrates the discs involved.
- Therefore, water can't be used as solvent in IR spectroscopy.
Hope this helps you...
