2 ! = 1 2"c k (m + M) m M wavenumbers! =!/c = 1/" wavelength frequency! units: cm 1 for excitation to occur, there must be an exact match between the frequency of the applied radiation and the frequency of the vibration in different compounds, the same type of functional group absorb in the same region of the I Factors that determine! 1. Mass: larger mass = lower frequency (longer wavelength)

3 Factors that determine! 2. Bond strength (k) Stronger bonds (tighter springs) vibrate with higher frequency 3. Type of vibration Stretching (along the line of the chemical bond) Vs Bending (out of line with the chemical bond) For the same bond, stretch is higher energy (i.e. higher frequency) To see molecules in I, transition must result in a dipole change I active I stretch essentially absent I stretch essentially absent

4 Coupled interactions occur when! 1) vibrations of bonds related by symmetry! 2) common atoms between groups! 3) independent groups absorb at same frequency Commonly observed for C 2 groups Stretches symmetrical unsymmetrical Bends in plane rock (symmetrical) scissor (unsymmetrical)

25 Infrared spectra: It is important to remember that the absence of an absorption band can often provide more information about the structure of a compound than the presence of a band. Be careful to avoid focusing on selected absorption bands and overlooking others. Use the examples linked to the table to see the profile and intensity of bands. emember that the absence of a band may provide more information than the presence of an absorption band. Look for absorption bands in decreasing order of importance: 1.the C- absorption(s) between 3100 and 2850 cm-1. An absorption above 3000 cm-1 indicates C=C, either alkene or aromatic. Confirm the aromatic ring by finding peaks at 1600 and 1500 cm-1 and C- out-of-plane bending to give substitution patterns below 900 cm-1. Confirm alkenes with an absorption generally at cm-1. C- absorption between 3000 and 2850 cm-1 is due to aliphatic hydrogens. 2.the carbonyl (C=) absorption between cm-1; this strong band indicates either an aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, amide, anhydride or acyl halide. The an aldehyde may be confirmed with C- absorption from 2840 to 2720 cm-1. 3.the - or N- absorption between 3200 and 3600 cm-1. This indicates either an alcohol, N- containing amine or amide, or carboxylic acid. For -N2 a doublet will be observed. 4.the C- absorption between 1080 and 1300 cm-1. These peaks are normally rounded like the - and N- peak in 3. and are prominent. Carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, alcohols and anhydrides all containing this peak. 5.the CC and CN triple bond absorptions at cm-1 are small but exposed. 6.a methyl group may be identified with C- absorption at 1380 cm-1. This band is split into a doublet for isopropyl(gem-dimethyl) groups. 7.structure of aromatic compounds may also be confirmed from the pattern of the weak overtone and combination tone bands found from 2000 to 1600 cm-1.

26 C Ketones aliphatic: normal position of a neat aliphatic ketone is 1715 cm 1 conjugation: shifts position to lower frequency alkene or phenyl group causes absorption in the cm 1 region.

Conjugation is broken completely by the introduction of saturated (sp3) carbon:

Conjugation is broken completely by the introduction of saturated (sp3) carbon: Chapter 16 Conjugation, resonance, and dienes Conjugation relies on the partial overlap of p-orbitals on adjacent double or triple bonds. A common conjugated system involves 1,3-dienes, such as 1,3-butadiene.
