IR- Empirical Comparisons Identifying functional groups in organic molecules
Infrared Spectroscopy Region of infrared that is most useful lies between2.5-16 mm (4000-625 cm-1) depends on transitions between vibrational energy states Stretching: higher energy / higher wave number (cm-1) Bending: lower energy / lower wave number (cm-1)
A bond must have a dipole or an induced dipole in order to have an absorbance in the IR spectrum. When the bond stretches, the increasing distance between the atoms increases the dipole moment. Therefore, the greater the dipole, the more intense the absorption. (i.e., The greater the molar extinction coefficient () in Beer’s law, A = bc.
Analyzing Structure: Functions & Infrared Spectra The molecular formula is a critical piece of information, which limits the functional possibilities. The presence & absence of absorption bands must be considered in identifying a possible structure in IR spectroscopy. Empiricism is critical to successful identification. NOTE: Bonds which lack dipole moments are not detected.
An Infrared Spectrum The peaks are quantized absorption bands corresponding to molecular stretching and bending vibrations
