Abstract
ORGANIC molecules sorbed on layer silicates generally adopt one single orientation. For those molecules for which the assignation of the absorption bands to the different vibrational modes has been well established, this association presents a favourable case for analysis by infra-red Spectroscopy. The orientation of the molecules can be inferred from the observed dichroism of specific absorption bands.
