    Abstract

    FT-Raman spectroscopy is a selective and safe technique for the qualitative identification of organophosphorus pesticides and is not accompanied by sample photodecomposition. Spectra of 14 target pesticides were recorded, and the phosphorus characteristic group frequencies are discussed. Preliminary investigations of solvent and temperature effects upon the infrared spectra were also carried out.
