To deconvolute FTIR data for metal bidentate bridging, metal bidentate chelate, linear dimmer, and cyclic dimmer peaks, you can follow these steps:

Here are some additional tips for deconvolution of FTIR data:

• Use a good quality FTIR spectrum. The better the quality of the spectrum, the easier it will be to deconvolute the peaks.
• Use a deconvolution software program. There are a number of different deconvolution software programs available, both commercial and open source.
• Be careful not to over-deconvolute the spectrum. Over-deconvolution can lead to inaccurate results.
• Validate your results. Once you have deconvoluted the spectrum, compare the results to reference data to make sure that they are accurate.

Here are some references that provide more detailed information on deconvolution of FTIR data:
