Identifying overlapping peaks requires careful analysis and sometimes advanced techniques:
Deconvolution: This mathematical technique can separate overlapping peaks by fitting them to a set of well-defined functions. 2D Correlation Spectroscopy: This method can help distinguish overlapping peaks by analyzing correlations between different spectral regions. Simultaneous Use of Multiple Techniques: Combining different characterization methods can provide complementary information, aiding in the identification of overlapping peaks.
