IR Spec Flashcards
(29 cards)
the lighter/less massive the connecting atoms, the:
higher the energy/frequency they will abosrb, the farther to the left they will be.
the stronger the bond the
higher the frequency/energy that is absorbed, the farther to the left of the graph it is.
the higher the frequency, the higher the wave number, the higher the energy, the shorter the ?
wavelength
IR used for:
defining/finding functional groups.
The more conjugated the system is (the more pi bonds present), th lower the _______, therefore the lower the _________, and the longer the _________. They will be more to the _______ of the graph.
lower the frequency, the lower the energy, the longer the wavelength. Will be more right on the graph.
Alkynes:
terminal wavenumber
non-terminal wavenumber
terminal: 3300, sharp
not terminal: 2150
alkenes C=C wave numbers
terminal: 3000 and sharp
not terminal: 1600-1680
Normal Degree of Saturation Formula:
((2n+2)-(# of H’s))/2
n= number of carbons:)
Degree of Unsaturation when Nitrogen is Present Formula
(2(n+# of N’s)+2)-(# of N’s)-(number of H’s) all divided by two.
Degree of Unsaturation if Cl is Present (formula)
(2n+2)-(# of H’s + # of Cl’s) all divided by two:)
Ester Peaks?
C=O stretch at 1735-1800
single C-O stretches at 1000-1300.
Aldehyde Peaks
C=O stretch at 1715 (strong)
Doublet peak (C-H) at 2810 and 2715
Anhydride
2 C=O stretches, 1855 and 1785
2 C-O stretches at 1200
Carboxylic Acid
Strong C=O stretch at 1720
Big and broad. kinda squat. “O-H” stretch at 3600-2500
Ketone Peaks
C=O stretch at 1725.
an absence of: second carbonyl, C-H doublet as seen in aldehydes, no O-H stretch or C-O stretches (1000-1300)
Nitrile Peaks (C triple bond N)
2250
Amide
1630-1680
Absorbtion at 1650, which is a combo of the C=O stretch and the N-H bending.
Alkane Peaks
Few Simple stretches
C-H stretch at 2800
C-H Bend- 1300
Terminal Alkyne
3300 Sharp
Not terminal Alkyne
2150
Terminal Alkene (C=C-H)
- Sharp.
There will be the normal C-H stretch, and it will be the sharp, shorter peak to the left of it.
Not Terminal C=C stretch (alkene)
1600-1680
Amine Stretch/peaks
N-H
3300-3350
Beer Lambert’s Law
A=Ecl or A=Ecb
relates absorbance to concentration.
