INFRAREDSPECTROSCOPY • the spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.

Near-infrared • approximately 14000-4000cm−1(0.8–2.5μm wavelength) • Can exciteovertoneorharmonicvibrations. • Has high energy
mid-infrared • approximately 4000-400cm−1(2.5–25μm) • used to study the fundamental vibrations and associated rotational-vibrational structure.
far-infrared • approximately 400–10 cm−1 (25–1000 μm) • lying adjacent to the microwave region • has low energy and may be used for rotational spectroscopy.
The vibrational infrared spectrum • 2.5x10-6to 2.5x10-5m • Vibrational infared region – the portion of the infrared region that extends from 4000 to 400 cm-1 • Wavenumber (v) – radiation in the vibrational infrared region. The number of waves per centimeter.
Molecular vibrations • Atoms joined by covalent bonds are not permanently fixed in one position, but instead undergo continual vibrations relative to each other • The bond undergoing vibration must be polar. • It’s vibration must cause a periodic change in the bond dipole. • The greater the polarity of the bond, the more intense is the absorption.
3n – 6 (fundamental vibrations) Example: • Ethanol CH3CH2OH • Hexanoic acid CH3(CH2)4COOH
STRETCHING MOTIONS • Change in band length Assymmetric stretching Symmetrical stretching
bendING MOTIONS • Change in band angle. Rocking Scissoring Twisting Wagging
Correlation tables • Data on absorption patterns of selected functional groups are collected.
Example: Determine the functional group that is likely present if a compound shown IR absorption at • 1705 cm-1 • 2950 cm-1
facts • absorption of IR radiation only occurs if there is a change in dipole moment • the larger the change in dipole moment, the more intense the absorption band • the greater the electronegativity differences between atoms in the molecule, the more polarized, the larger change in dipole moment

Index of hydrogen deficiency • The sum of the number of rings and pi bonds in a molecule. • Compare the number of hydrogens in the molecular formula of a compound of unknown structure with the number of hydrogen in a reference compound with the same number of carbon atoms and with no rings or pi bonds.
CnH2n+2 Index of Hydrogen = (Hreference – Hmolecule) 2
Example Index of hydrogen deficiency = 4
UV-VISSpectroscopy Ultraviolet-visible Spectroscopy
Uv-visSPECTROSCOPY • Measures the attenuation of a beam of light after it passes through a sample or after reflection from a sample surface. • Spectral range of 190 nm to 900 nm • 190 – 400 nm, UV • 400 – 750 nm, Vis
Electronic Transition Vis = 36 – 72 kcal/mol UV = >72 – 143kcal/mol
chromophore • identifiable part of the molecule • responsible for any spectral feature like bands • use to deduce presence of structural fragment or element in the molecule • corresponds to a functional group, an atom or group of atoms • Molar absorptivity > 200 for UV-Vis
UV-Vis Spectrum • UV - electronic transition in 200 – 380 nm • Vis - electronic transition in 380 – 800 nm
