Sample Preparation Procedure The sodium salt was dissolved in 0.5 ml water in a test tube, and dichloromethane was added to the test tube. Hydrochloric acid gas was bubbled through the solution. The bottom organic layer was retrieved with a pipette and placed in another clean test tube. Most of the solvent was evaporated from the tube using a flow of nitrogen gas, and the remaining solution was used to create a film on the diamond window for ATR-IR.
