When formaldehyde absorbs an infrared photon with a wavenumber of 1 251 cm 1 (= 14.97 kJ/mol), the asymmetric bending vibration in Figure 18-12 is stimulated Oscillations of the atoms are increased in amplitude, and the energy of the molecule increases.

Al ough rotational frequencies of the whole molecule are not infrared active, they often couple with the stretching and bending vibrations in the molecule to give additional fine structure to these absorptions, thus further complicating the spectrum. One of the reasons a band is broad rather than sharp in the infrared spectrum is rotational coupling, which may lead to a considerable amount of unresolved fine structure.

Fig. 8.5. The out-of-plane sextant ring bend vibration in mono, ortho, meta, and para-substituted benzenes. The 1,3,5 ring carbons and the 2,4,6 ring carbons move oppositely out of the plane (+ and —). In mono, meta, and 1,3,5 trisubstituted benzenes, the vibration is IR active at 710-665 cm . When the substituents are identical in ortho and para isomers, this band is infrared inactive.

The out-of-plane aromatic C—H bending vibrations in the 1000-700 cm region give rise to relatively prominent summation bands in the infrared 2000-1650 cm" region, seen in Fig. 8.8. Since all the CH out-of-plane... 

Infrared spectroscopy also provides information on molecular microstructure, e.g. the repeat units resulting from addition polymerization of dienes. For example, polyisoprenes (Fig. 2.9) can be distinguished, based on differences in absorption between C-H out-of-plane bending vibrations. The infrared spectra of stereoregular polymers are also distinct from those of their less regular counterparts, but these differences do not arise directly from tacticity but indirectly due to its effect on chain conformation.

The CO2 laser is a near-infrared gas laser capable of very high power and with an efficiency of about 20 per cent. CO2 has three normal modes of vibration Vj, the symmetric stretch, V2, the bending vibration, and V3, the antisymmetric stretch, with symmetry species (t+, ti , and (7+, and fundamental vibration wavenumbers of 1354, 673, and 2396 cm, respectively. Figure 9.16 shows some of the vibrational levels, the numbering of which is explained in footnote 4 of Chapter 4 (page 93), which are involved in the laser action. This occurs principally in the 3q22 transition, at about 10.6 pm, but may also be induced in the 3oli transition, at about 9.6 pm. 

Figure 9.32 illustrates the isotopic enrichment of SFe following irradiation with a pulsed CO2 laser in the 3g vibrational band, at 945 cm, of SFe, V3 being a strongly infrared active bending vibration. The natural abundances of the isotopes of sulphur are (95.0 per cent), (4.24 per cent), (0.74 per cent) and (0.017 per cent). The figure shows that depletion of SFg has been achieved to such an extent that equal quantities of SFg and SFa remain.

Anhydrous quinazoline hydrochloride absorbs one molecule of water readily, and. the product is difficult to dehydrate completely even in a high vacuum at 60°. Infrared spectral data suggest that this water is covalently bound because of (o) the absence of several bands in the spectrum of the hydrate which are present in the spectrum of the anhydrous hydrochloride and (6) the presence of extra bands at 1474 and 1240 cm that have been attributed to C— H and O— H bending vibrations of the — CHOH group. 

In 1990 we showed that ethenedithione (115) is a stable molecule under matrix conditions. It can be prepared by photolysis of the matrix-isolated precursors 113, 114, and 116.143 Different pathways to 115 have been found by Wentrup et al.144 The matrix IR spectrum of 115 shows one absorption corresponding to the only IR active stretching mode. The IR active bending vibration is expected to appear in the for us unobservable far infrared region. The position of both IR inactive stretching vibrations were derived from two observed combination bands. The IR spectra allow no decision about the multiplicity of 115, since calculations show, that the equilibrium geometries of both states are almost identical. Recent calculations121 145 favor the triplet state.
