Questions of the day: • Which absorptions on an IR spectrum would show you • that your unknown is probably a ketone or aldehyde? • b) that your unknown is probably a carboxylic acid?
Today: • Inert compounds • IR; UV • Next time: • Mass spectrometry
“Inert Compounds” Alkanes Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Alkyl halides. Aryl halides.)
Spectroscopy http://www.chem.ucla.edu/~webspectra/index.html • Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) • IR region = 4000 - 400 cm-1(cm-1 unit is the wave number scale and is given by 1/wavelength in cm) E= h n • What information do we get from an IR spectrum? • What is the cause for the typical absorptions?
Fingerprint region butyl acetate
Aromatics aromatic overtones
Alcohols Gas phase!
UV/Visible Spectrophotometry Which compounds generally absorb in the UV? CH4? CH3(CH2)10CH3? Ethanol? Benzene? Naphtalene? -Carotene? FeCl3? Which compounds absorb in the visible range? CH4? CH3(CH2)10CH3? Ethanol? Benzene? Naphtalene? -Carotene? FeCl3? • See Chapter in your Lecture text (conjugated systems) • to p* HOMO to LUMO A = e x C x l A = absorbance; e = molar absorptivity C = concentration in mol/L; l = sample pathlength in cm
