Relationship between Frequency, Wavelength and Wavenumberc = where c = velocity of light (ms-1) = frequency (Hz or s-1) = wavelength (m)
LIMITATIONS OF THE USE OF IR SPECTROSCOPY IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS1. Some infrared absorptions have very close wavenumbers and the peaks overlap with each other .2. NOT all vibrations give rise to strong absorption peaks. 3. Intermolecular interactions (such as H-bond) between molecules complicate infrared spectra.4. Infrared spectroscopy can only provide limited structural information of molecules.
