INDEX OF HYDROGEN DEFICIENCY and THE BASIC THEORY OF INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM A MOLECULAR FORMULA ? YOU CAN DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF RINGS AND / OR DOUBLE BONDS.
Saturated Hydrocarbons CnH2n+2 GENERAL FORMULA CH4 C2H6 C3H8 C4H10 C5H12 C9H20 branched compounds also follow the formula
FORMATION OF RINGS AND DOUBLE BONDS -2H -4H -2H Formation of each ring or double bond causes the loss of 2H.
Index of Hydrogen Deficiency CALCULATION METHOD • Determine the expected formula for a noncyclic, saturated compound ( CnH2n+2 ) with the same number of carbon atoms as your compound. • Correct the formula for heteroatoms • Subtract the actual formula of your compound • The difference in H’s divided by 2 is the (explained later) Index of Hydrogen-deficiency
C5H8 C5H12 = ( CnH2n+2 ) C5H8 H4 Index = 4/2 = 2 Two Unsaturations double bond and ring in this example
Index of Hydrogen Deficiency CORRECTIONS FOR ATOMS OTHER THAN HYDROGEN • O or S -- doesn’t change H in calculated formula • N or P -- add one H to the calculated formula • F, Cl, Br, I -- subtract one H from calculated formula +0 C-H C-O-H +O +1 C-H C-NH2 +N,+H -1 C-H C-X -H,+X
C4H5N C4H10 = ( CnH2n+2 ) C4H11N add one H for N C4H5 N H6 Index = 6/2 = 3 two double bonds and ring in this example
The index gives the number of • double bonds or • triple bonds or • ringsin a molecule one ring and the equivalent of three double bonds gives an index of 4 Benzene If index = 4, or more, expect a benzene ring
INDEX C6H14 -C6H8 Index = 6/2 = 3 H6 HYDROGENATION Pd C6H8 + 2 H2 C6H12 Hydrogenation shows only two double bonds. Therefore, there must also be a ring. PROBLEM A hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C6H8. It will react with hydrogen and a palladium catalyst to give a compound of formula C6H12. Give a possible structure.
A FEW POSSIBLE ANSWERS ..... there is still work required to fully solve the problem

BOND VIBRATIONAL ENERGY LEVELS Bonds do not have a fixed distance. They vibrate continually even at 0oK (absolute). The frequency for a given bond is a constant. Vibrations are quantized as levels. The lowest level is called the zero point energy. e n e r g y bond dissociation energy vibrational energy levels zero point energy rmin rmax distance ravg (average bond length)

DIPOLE MOMENTS Only bonds which have significant dipole moments will absorb infrared radiation. Bonds which do not absorb infrared include: • Symmetrically substituted alkenes and alkynes • Many types of C-C Bonds • Symmetric diatomic molecules H-H Cl-Cl
+ + d+ - - d- oscillating dipoles couple and energy is transferred STRONG ABSORBERS d- The carbonyl group is one of the strongest absorbers d+ Also O-H and C-O bonds infrared beam
RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY Another kind of vibrational spectroscopy that can detect symmetric bonds. Infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy complement each other.
RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY In this technique the molecule is irradiated with strong ultraviolet light at the same time that the infrared spectrum is determined. Ultraviolet light promotes electrons from bonding orbitals into antibonding orbitals. This causes formation of a dipole in groups that were formerly IR inactive and they will absorb infrared radiation. p* . induced dipole d+ d- . .. hn UV pp* absorbs IR transition no dipole symmetric ….. we will not talk further about this technique
