Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) has been used to analyse a suite of synthesised jarosites of formula Mn(Fe 3+)6(SO4)4(OH)12 where M is K, Na, Ag, Pb, NH4+ and H3O+. Whilst the spectra of the jarosites show a common pattern differences in the spectra are observed which enable the minerals to be distinguished.
The NIR bands in the 6300 to 7000 cm-1 region are attributed to the first fundamental overtone of the infrared and Raman hydroxyl stretching vibrations. The NIR spectrum of the ammonium jarosite shows additional bands at 6460 and 6143 cm-1 attributed to the first fundamental overtones of NH stretching vibrations. A set of bands are observed in the 4700 to 5500 cm-1 region which are assigned to combination bands of the hydroxyl stretching and deformation vibrations. The ammonium jarosite shows additional bands at 4730 and 4621 cm-1attributed to the combination of NH stretching and bending vibrations. NIR spectroscopy has the ability to distinguish between the jarosite minerals even when the formula of the minerals is closely related. The NIR spectroscopic technique has great potential as a mineral exploratory tool on planets and in particular Mars.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.

| Additional Information: | The discovery on Mars of minerals such as jarosites has significant importance for the detection of water on Mars. It is important to have methods for the identification of minerals. NIR spectroscopy is one of these methods. It is the most valuable tool for remote identification of minerals such as jarosites. |
