Term
IR spectroscopy def
Definition

measures molecular vibrations which can be seen as

bond stretching/bending/combos of vibrational modes

Term

IR range in the unit of (cm-1)

 

max to min

Definition
3,500 - 300
Term
give max to min of fingerprint region
Definition

1500-400

 

(wont be tested but still good to know)

Term

given these frequencies :

2,800& 1,200

match to:

C-H

C-C

why? (explain the trend)

Definition

C-H: 2,800

C-C: 1,200

 

H bonded to any atom will have a higher frequency.

 

Term

given these frequencies :

1,645 & 1,200

match to:

C=C

C-C

why? (explain the trend)

Definition

C=C: 1,645

C-C: 1,200

 

as we add more bonds between carbon atoms the frequency increases.

Term

given these frequencies :

3,080& 1645

match to:

=C-H

C=C

why? (explain the trend)

Definition

=C-H:3,080

C=C: 1645


remeber any atom bonded to H will have the larger frequency

Term

given these frequencies :

2,200& 3300

match to:

C=C

C-H

why? (explain the trend)

Definition

C=C: 2,200

C-H: 3300

 

again the H

Term

Which compound would have the lower frequency in an IR spectrum:

carbonyl vs a carbonyl in conjugation with double bonds?

Definition
a carbonyl in conjugation with double bonds b/c the delocization of the pi electrons causes the  C=O bond to lose double bond character, causing to absorb near C-O frequencies (1,000-1250)
Term

give the peak for alcohol

 

is it (sharp/broad)?

Definition

3300

broad peak

Term
compare the frequency of an ether vs alcohol
Definition

(OH) alcohol: 3300   

(ROR) ether: 1050

 

remember H = higher frequency

Term
what is the frequency for the C=O (carbonyl bond)
Definition
1700-1750
Term

using 1750 as a base : who will have a frequency above this value and at this value?

 

aldehyde vs ketone

Definition

Above 1750: aldehyde (2,700)

H-C=O

has a Hydrogen & 1 R grp

Term

give an estimate  IR peak for:

ketone

carboxylix acid (2)

Definition

ketone: 1700-1750 (carbonyl)

c. acid will have 2 peaks: 1700-1750 (carbonyl)

& 3300 (alcohol)

Term

give IR peak for amine

(how does it differ from alcohol)

Definition

3100- 3500

(same range as alcohol BUT has a sharp peak)

Term
Will Br2 have show up on an IR?
Definition

no, for a compound to a frequency it must experience a dipole moment

(aka an atom is attached to an electronegative atom.)

 

Br2 is symmetrical (and CCl4) and cant be detected by IR.

Term
give IR peak for C-H
Definition
2800-3000 cm-1
Term
give IR peak for C-O
Definition
1000-1300
Term
give IR peak for C-C
Definition

this bond is too weak for IR (

C2 just like Br2 does not have dipole moment)
