2) Infra-red spectroscopy. The Energy of molecular vibrations. To be IR active, a molecule must undergo a change in dipole. IR spec. E=hf (E=h ) Meaning the electromagnetic spectrum covers ALL energy ranges. http://www.wag.caltech.edu/home/jang/genchem/infrared.htm. IR spec.

2) Infra-red spectroscopy The Energy of molecular vibrations. To be IR active, a molecule must undergo a change in dipole.
IR spec • E=hf (E=h) Meaning the electromagnetic spectrum covers ALL energy ranges.
IR spec ……Zooming in on the IR range… the energy of molecular bends and stretches
IR spec NOT ON SYLLABUS: • What’s a degree of freedom? A way in which molecule can undergo a vibration (bend or stretch)
I.R. – degrees of freedom • E.g. CO2 (a linear molecule) • n=3 (the number of atoms) • 3n-5 = 4 “modes” of vibration
IR spec Vibrations (bends and stretches) of CO2
IR spec • Can also bend in and out of the plane of the paper. This is the second way of bending
IR spectrum of CO2 3n-5 (linear) = 4 science.widener.edu/svb/ftir/ir_co2.html
IR spec • CHART of IR absorbancies • Various IR
